Brendan & Lori O'Gara

I heard someone say, “God, why is her life so perfect? How does she have a handle on her life and I don’t?”

We all have that one friend who seems to have it all together. That woman with the seemingly perfect life. I can promise you her life is not prefect. She is not always what you see on social media or in person. She has bad days too. Her children sometimes give her a smart-ass attitude. Her house gets dirty and she burns dinner. She looks in the mirror and thinks she is fat. Her car breaks down and her house needs a new window. She has dust bunnies under her bed and her oven is a fire hazard.

What makes her different?

She puts a smile on her face and keeps going. Either that or she is a good actress. She is not perfect.

We are all a mess and we all have our perfect phases too. Right now there is someone looking at your Instagram with envy. You don’t know this but I am going to let you in on a secret, you might be that seemingly perfect woman to someone else.

Cut yourself some slack and go take a shower. Brush your hair and hug your children or dog. If you are alone, go find that friend and see if she needs some help.

Envy is poison. Why and what if makes you crazy. Life is imperfect, so are we.
