You don’t need to borrow Trina, you are quite welcome to keep them! : > )

Edits are good, just be careful not to over edit!

Your website is beautiful by the way.

Sean, so happy I stumbled into your mind this morning. Love the post today. Kind of gives one permission to release the standards of perfection that can kill creativity, doesn’t it. My chains are falling off as I forge into this day . . . just spotted some areas — personally and professionally — that are aching for an edit. :-)

Oh boy, could I have used this nugget of wisdom earlier today…. my boy was struggling over the edits required for homework too. Love the extension in to editing our daily life. As a matter of fact I can really see borrowing your words/idea – suppose you wont mind?

I think we could all stand to do a bit more editing. Like a piece of prose, a life can never be considered truly perfect or complete, there are always small tweaks that can make even the best just a little bit better.

Thanks Laurie, I am well. : > )

Ha, look how dim I am. I didn’t even catch on to that parallel, but you could very well be right. I just thought she’d come down with a bad case of the “I don’t want to’s,” which, I admit, I’m quite guilty of getting all the time. : > )

I do believe life is an endless edit, now more than ever.

I’d love that, Dave. I’ve just added you to the list for when the book comes out. Thanks for the offer!

I loved this! We DO edit our lives all the time. I need to do more editing and get rid of clutter in my house and closet. I edit my words, especially around my mother in law! EEK! I cut things out of my day and spend my time on the most important (except when House is on the tube he he he). I am editing things out of my diet. Not the easiest edit I face.

Hope you are well! Have a super day!

It just melts my heart that she wasn’t interested in editing because she thought that you never have to edit and she wanted to be like you! And then once she learned that editing is a process that you always engage, she was 100% more receptive to it.

Inspiring…and beautiful….and totally heart melting!

P.S. I love your ‘life is a process of editing’ viewpoint.

Cool, I’d love to check out the book and review it and help promote it. Let me know if and how I can help.

I’ll also look forward to the articles…
