I like Annie Lamott too. That part about “strung out on perfectionism or people-pleasing” is so true – that’s how I spent my younger years … no more!

Damn straight–I go hot and cold on LaMott, but when she sure knocks her share out of the park. I’ve added this to my list of favorite quotes–it’s a damn good one.

Anne Lamott’s got the right attitude. I have to get started on some “radical silliness” before I look back in regret. I’m 71. Hope it’s not too late. Thanks for the motivation, Beth. ;-)
