Present Over Perfect

I read Shauna Niequist's Present Over Perfect a couple of years ago and so much of it has stuck with me. So much so that I have changed the title of the blog to reflect the shift in content over the past handful of years. The quote I chose for the header was up against two other possibilities, so I want to share them here. :)

"This is where life is, not in some imaginary, photo-shopped dreamland. Here. Now. You, just as you are. Me, just as I am. The world, just as it is. This is the good stuff. This is the best stuff there is. Perfect has nothing on truly, completely, wide-eyed, open-souled present."

"You were only meant, created, commanded to be who you are, weird and wonderful, imperfect and messy and lovely."
