Here’s the deal. We live in a world where perfection is mistakenly thought to be achievable. You can argue whether it’s due to the widespread epidemic of portraying one’s “perfect” self across social media accounts or the obsession with constantly boosting children’s self-esteem by teaching them that everyone is always a winner all of the time. Or perhaps, as a society we are simply lowering our expectations of what equates to greatness, therefore labeling the not so great as exceptional.

Who knows. Bottom line is: we all have crap in our lives and it’s how we deal with it, really deal with it, that counts. Instead of pretending that we are perfect, or instead of teaching our children that they are inherently perfect in every aspect of their lives, I feel it more important to acknowledge our faults, learn how to cope, and commit to doing a little better each and every day; basically, learn a healthy and effective way to clean up our inevitable daily crap each and every day. Because, let me tell you, eventually that suffocating air freshener you are spraying in a frantic attempt to mask your odor, will suddenly run out and you’ll be left with a whole lot of crap to flush, all at once.

Now do you get the crap reference? Good. I hope it all makes sense. But even if it only makes sense to me, I can at least help myself with my far fetched life metaphors, right?!

Yep, gluten free pancakes are proof that there is always room to improve. Instead of “proof is in the pudding”, “proof is in the pancakes”.
