“Have a strong mind and a soft heart.”
Anthony J. D’Angelo
Are you demanding?
I’ll fully admit that I am pretty picky about a few (not all!) things. I like things to be done in a certain way. My husband was just saying to me yesterday that my pickiness makes things harder for me. Since I am so demanding, more often than not, I will be disappointed if something isn’t up to my standard. I have to admit that he’s totally right. I can be hard on myself as well as others if they fail to do something that meets my standards. There are certainly situations where I should hold strong (anything regarding the care of my family!) but I’m also slowly starting to understand that it’s ok if some things aren’t perfect. No one is perfect and some people may have strengths in one area, but let things slip in another area. With that said, I’ll still uphold high standards, but also take a breath, and remember to have a soft heart as well.
Have a lovely week!

These are beautiful!! Love the designs. I’m not demanding really, I just know what I want at times and like things done just so, haha. But, for the most part I am pretty relaxed. My husband is more demanding than me, haha. It makes me laugh sometimes, he wants everything like just so and freaks out when it doesn’t go that way. But, I think a balance is good to have of it really. Helps get things done. Happy Monday doll, hope you have a glorious week 🙂 xx
I think a lot of bloggers are that way! Don’t feel bad. When I started blogging, I was like THAT’s ME! HaHaHa I’m very particular. I’ve always been that way. My mom told me that when I was little I sat at the table with all these Valentine Cards for school. I picked out what card went to who. LOL She was saying to herself, does it really matter. So my narcissism goes WAYYYYY back! I’m not mean spirited about it, but I do have a habit of if you can’t do it, then I’ll find someone else that can.

Love this! I’m pretty easy-going and it seems to be working for me so far. Btw: that 3rd dress is something special:) Have a beautiful day, darling.
Le sigh…this editorial is brilliant!
I’m not demanding at all; however, my big issue is that I’m a control freak when it comes to certain things – a habit which I’m desperately trying to break. :/
E, I can be a control freak too! I’m trying to be more mellow too so let’s see how it goes 😉
I have extremely high standards for myself, but find that I’m not quite as hard on others. I’m trying to give myself a break once in a while!
I just love that quote. and I definitely love some of these pieces in the photos. Simply beautiful. Love this post.
