I love this and can absolutely relate. But I have to be careful not to swing too far the other way…sometimes I really do want to put forth the energy to make something excellent, or to give that unexpected gift, not out of obligation or to make myself seem more impressive, but altruistically. I think the heart posture in things is most important: am I being authentic for the sake of seeming gritty or because authenticity is what I need to be? Alternately, am I going the extra mile because I’m putting on a show for others or because it’s truly something I want to do? That middle place is hard, but it’s the goal.
Can attest that you do make excellent cakes, BUT that's low on the list of reasons why I love you <3
