The importance of being imperfect
Article Abstract:
A divorced mother awakened from a nine-day coma with the new attitude that being imperfect at work and home was alright. Being off-center at times engenders the ability to show compassion to others when their flaws show. If all working mothers would strive less for perfections, society would change.
