A Little Piece...of Mind

{Call Me Cupcake Blog}

I recently interviewed the inspirational Kristin Ritzau, author of A Beautiful Mess, for an article I wrote on for our university's magazine. Writing the article, which was about the hunger for perfection in our lives, ended up being the catalyst for this season of slowing down for me and organizing priorities.

A time to appreciate.

 If I'm being honest with myself, especially while reflecting on this past year, there is one thing that I would love to work on: the fact that I am really REALLY forgetful.
When I think about all the time I spend dreaming--with my thoughts in far off places--I realize that one of my biggest flaws has always been forgetting to live in the moment.
My forgetfulness gets the best of me and at the worst moments too! Yes, I've forgotten birthdays, completely blanked on exams and most frequently I have forgotten entire conversations.  Being forgetful is cute and charming for about two seconds until you realize how important it is to remember the little things.
