Being the best, constantly achieving, rising above...pressure is continually defining our lives.  I would like to change that.  A personal reflection on how the perfect is the enemy of the good. 

Excerpt:  From my childhood, I started to feel and rise to the pressure of being top in everything, and that grew in me through high school, into college, and into adulthood.  It has affected every part of my life, from my work to my motherhood to my friendships to my relationship with my husband and my relationship with my body.  It is everywhere and I have lived my life always under the influence of it.  As the song says:

“Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

No mistakes, just

PRESSURE”
