Taking competition seriously...

Pumpkin Contest at Work!

Whether it’s something serious, or (what’s supposed to be “ “) a light hearted work pumpkin contest you better believe I’m bringing my A game lol I have absolutely ZERO chill factor. I like to do things that are unique and over the top and well… that’s just how I am and I am NEVER apologizing for it.

With all that being said though, this owl however was FOR SURE the thorn in my side these last few nights lol. It was supposed to be fun and easy but when you’re a lunatic like me things like this winde up being stressful (perfectionism at it’s finest). The good news is I got it done, it may not be exactly how I wanted it to turn out, and when I look at it I can point out a thousand flaws but when I see everyone else’s reactions to it, it reminds me that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.

That seems deep for some pumpkin contest blog but that goes to other areas of my life as well. I am always SO hard on myself, I can stand in a mirror and point out A MILLION things wrong with myself but it really makes you think… why? What does that even accomplish? I once learned that you should never criticize something about someone if they can’t change it in five seconds. I truly live my life that way with the people around me, I walk around lifting other people up and never criticizing people for things they can’t fix with immediate changes so I’m not quite sure why I don’t offer the same kindness to myself but I really should…. and so should you.

So in the spirit of all fun, happy, and creative I hope you can find some time to be kind and happy with yourself, celebrate and have fun with your loved ones and find creative ways to lift yourself up and ENJOY how wonderful and unique you are.

Oh, and obviously to WINNING this damn pumpkin CONTEST TODAY!!! lol
