    Oooopsie!

    I apologise for dropping messages on ‘The arrival of baby Reilly, Kate Abbott’. This was caused by the resubmitting of the post, as in the previous one I had spelt her name incorrectly. I do apologise.

    I am free to be imperfect

    It is good to remember that one of our goals in life is to not be perfect. We often lose track of this aspiration. When we make mistakes, we think that we are failing or not measuring up. But if life is about experimenting, experiencing, and learning, then to be imperfect is a prerequisite.

    This doesn’t mean that we don’t strive to be our best. We simply accept that there is no such thing as perfection, in life. All living things are in a ceaseless state of movement. Even as you read this, your hair is growing, your cells are dying and being reborn, and your blood is moving through your veins. Your life changes more than it stays the same. Perfection may happen in a moment, but it will not last because it is an impermanent state. Trying to hold on to perfection or forcing it to happen causes frustration and unhappiness.


    In spite of this, many of us are in the habit of trying to be perfect. One way to nudge ourselves out of this tendency is to look at our lives and notice that no one is judging. Sometimes, perfectionism is a holdover from our childhood, an ideal we inherited from a demanding parent. We are adults now, and we can choose to let go of the need to perform for someone else’s approval. Similarly, we can choose to experience the universe as a loving place where we are free to be imperfect. Once we realize this, we can begin to take ourselves less seriously and have more fun. Imperfection is inherent to being human. By embracing your imperfections, you embrace yourself and life becomes more interesting.

    Pisces Profile

    While many other signs have their creative sides, Pisces is without question the most creative of all signs. Individuals born with a Pisces sun sign tend to be deeply gifted in one or many creative pursuits. Many great writers, artists, musicians, actors and filmmakers share this compelling sign.

    Much of Pisces creativity comes from the fact that they are deeply sensitive and emotional people. They are extremely giving and charitable, and always willing to lend a hand to a friend or a loved-one.

    Pisces make excellent listeners and also give excellent advice.

    Many Pisces suffer from shyness or too much modesty -- not wanting to draw attention to themselves. Even famous or successful Pisces suffer from this trait to some extent, and must constantly force themselves into the limelight where their talents can be seen and appreciated.

    Pisces are almost always very diplomatic. Their deep sensitivity towards the feelings of others gives them a keen awareness of what they say, how they say it, and what others want to hear.

    Pisces at Work:

    While Pisces creativity lends itself most obviously to the typical creative disciplines of music, art, writing and acting -- Pisces individuals in many different professions apply their unique abilities to creative problem-solving and original solutions. As such, Pisces individuals perform well in many different professional areas -- particularly those involving people-skills.

    They must always be careful not to react too negatively to criticism, and to not allow opposition to affect them emotionally.

    Pisces in Love:

    Pisces are made for deep and fulfilling relationships. Their amazing ability to perceive the moods, thoughts and emotions of others give them a profound ability to relate to their loved ones with a deep level of understanding. Their generosity and selflessness know no bounds when they are in love and in a committed relationship.

    Because Pisces are dreamers however, there is always the possibility of being led astray. And because they are so concerned with hurting the feelings of their partner -- if Pisces are led astray they tend to become deeply secretive.

    Treat a Pisces right, and allow them to be themselves, and they're one of the more stable signs in a relationship.
