I don’t think I’ve ever really introduced myself…
and after about 3 and a half years, it’s probably time. 😉
So here’s a video welcome from me to the KMW blog.
❤ Thank you for joining me on this journey ❤

Practicing Un-Perfectionism
Posted in Self worth, Workshops, tagged expectations, letting go, overcome, overwhelmed, perfect, perfectionism, pressure, relationships, self care, self esteem, self worth, support, unrealistic on April 29, 2015| 2 Comments »
Well, lovelies,
I have to tell you
I’ve been having so much fun
in the Know My Worth Workshop
this month, that I’m doing a new one for May!
Let me tell you a little about it… (video)
So, are you tired of always trying to have it all together?
Being micro-managed by unrealistic expectations?
We fool ourselves into thinking perfectionism is one of those “weaknesses” we love to have. That we are just striving for excellence and being our best.
But actually, perfectionism causes
anxiety, depression, irritability and isolation.
I am tired of going it alone, being strong, having it “all together”
when inside I’m often falling apart.
I hope you will stand with me, and practice a little Un-Perfectionism!
We start Friday!

Blessings!
PS – I want it to be a small group, creating the safety of getting to know each other and personalized support, so “seats” are limited to 21 women. And it’s only $99 for the entire 21 days – that’s the cost of a single coaching session.
PPS – the first 10 registrants also get a special bonus gift! Check it out 🙂
The Self-Forgiveness Prayer
Posted in Healing, Poetry, Self worth, tagged control, expectations, faith, forgiveness, God, grace, love, not perfect, prayer, self, trust, worth on April 26, 2015| 7 Comments »
Oh Creator,
Give me the desire and the ability
to forgive myself
for times of being unaware
and not seeing things as clearly as I do now
for times of seeing acceptance
in people instead of you
for times of being naive
getting caught in someone’s snares
for times my words or actions
didn’t match who I want myself to be
for times of being human
needing space to learn and heal
for times of needing help
letting go of past hurts and old patterns
Give me the ability, desire, and the courage
to be compassionate with myself
to take steps forward
to believe I am worthy
just as I am.
I am Worthy

A reminder today, for any day…
I am worthy
just as I am
I will not look to others
to define myself
I will not look to others
for acceptance and approval
I will not look to others
to justify or rationalize
any of my own
internal negativity
I am doing the best I can
with all that I have
in this moment
in this day
in this time
in this space
and that’s enough
because I’m enough
I am lovable
I am precious
I am beautiful
I am worthy.
A Woman Is More
Posted in Healing, Self worth, tagged achievement, defining self, expectations, faith, goals, God, hope, love, poetry, roles, self awareness, woman on March 8, 2015| 4 Comments »
A woman is more
than the beauty she shows
than the clothes she chooses
than the hair she colors
A woman is more
than the roles she holds
than being a dutiful daughter
than being an amazing mom
A woman is more
than the jobs she does
than the accomplished tasks
than the goals achieved
A woman is more
than the words she says
than the feelings she shares
than the thoughts unspoken
A woman is more
than what others believe
than what others decide
than what others describe
A woman is
a shining soul
filled with life and love
faith and hope
dreams and fears
sorrows and glee
A woman is
a joy to her Creator
for everything she is
just as she is
For a woman is
all that she wants to be
❤ Happy International Women’s Day ❤
Everyone, Everything, Everywhere

Sometimes
I get so busy
making sure everyone
has what they need
making sure everything
gets done as it should
making sure everywhere
has been shopped or cleaned
that I forget to
STOP.
And I forget to
BE
making sure
I take care
of everyday me
Perfect Love
Posted in Healing, Self worth, tagged codependency, control, expectations, God, i am complete, looking for love, love, not perfect, perfect, pressure, relationships, romance on February 13, 2015| 11 Comments »
Thank you, Amazing Creator
for loving me
in a way
that no human could do
For showing me
that I am worthy
of that love
That perfect love.
Yet any and every time
I try to find that perfect love
here on Earth
here in another person
I will be disappointed.
But it’s a reality that
we just can’t love
the way you can
we are flawed
sometimes selfish
often clueless
So I will
stop looking for
perfect love
in people
I will be satisfied
with finding it
only in you
And I will let people
be imperfect in their love
just like me.
I Don’t Have to Be
Posted in Healing, Self worth, tagged don't fit in, expectations, God, good, grace, healthy, perfect, popular, pressure, successful, thin, through God's eyes, wanna be on January 24, 2015| 2 Comments »
I don’t have to be
anything other than me
I don’t have to earn
anyone’s approval
I don’t have to fit
anyone’s expectations
I don’t have to receive
anyone’s validation or praise
I don’t have to mold myself 
into what society
says I should be
I don’t have to get permission
to like what I like
to say what I think
to be happy
with who I am
right now
this very
minute
For I don’t want to waste my life
having never known
who I am
what I’m meant to do
or how I’m meant to live
And so I choose
to see myself gently
to see myself lovingly
through the lens
of the Creator
who made me
exactly how I am
who gave me
every experience in my life
to learn and grow through
who gave me
every talent and gift
to share pure light
with the world
who gave me
every flaw and shadow
to help me to remember
To be kind to myself
To be compassionate
To be filled with grace
And to learn
to love little ol’
lovable me.
Over-Subscribed

Too many things to read
Too many words to absorb
Too many things to write
Too many words to express
Too many things to do
Too many hopes to fulfill
Too many things to say
Too many people to help
Too many things to achieve
Too many resolutions to realize
Too many expectations.
Who puts all this on me?
How did I get to this place?
Who is responsible?
How can it be fixed?
Who must take action?
Oh, Me.
All me.
So in one moment
with one choice
I can hit “Delete”
I can say “No”
I can throw them away
and change all the expectations.
All of It All
Posted in Self worth, tagged anxiety, boundaries, doing it all, expectations, gifts, holidays, overwhelm, perfectionism, pressure, saying no, superwoman, the perfect Christmas on December 24, 2014| 4 Comments »
All the shopping
food and gifts
All the wrapping
ribbons and bows
All the baking
flour and sugar
All the decorating
colors and lights
All the cleaning
fresh and fragrant
All of it
fun
until it isn’t.
All of it
because I want to
until it isn’t.
All of it
at once…
until I say
wait.
And I take a deep breath
and I remember why
and I make choices
to do only
what it suits me
to do
Because I just can’t
Because I just won’t
DO or BE
all of it all.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Christine
