Protesting Perfect | The Gifts Of Imperfection Book Giveaway
Today I'm joining a protest of perfection with a giveaway of my friend Dr. Brené Brown's new book The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
I'm going to keep this simple: this book could change your life. You'll laugh, probably cry, learn a bunch about shame, resilience, kindness, letting go, compassion, mindfulness, and come out of the experience with ammunition for the fight against perfectionism.
Perfection is so over-rated. Imperfect is beautiful and real.
TO BE ENTERED into this special giveaway please fill in the blank on one of the phrases below and post it in the comment section:
- Bye-bye perfect, hello_______.
- I am too _______ to be perfect.
Comments will be closed at 8pm Pacific tonight (Tuesday) and the winners posted shortly after.

I am too in love with my family to be perfect. Time spent with them is more important than obsessing about whether theh house is 100% clean or the clutter all picked up.
I think I will be getting this book for certain. Thanks Ali!

Bye-bye perfect! Hello REAL!
Thank you Ali! I agree that perfect is overrated.
For example, Christmas is coming and everyone will be having lights strung on their house, but those perfectly straight lines bug me! I prefer it the way it was when we were kids. The strand of lights might sag a little here and there. There might even be a bulb out! But you could tell that somebody's dad took his time putting them up there to the best of his ability & it looked great!
