The 5 Types of Perfectionists
I don’t know about you, but the holidays really bring out my inner perfectionist. I am not even making Thanksgiving dinner this year, thanks to my brother David who will be hosting it again. But in years past when I did host it, I would always wake up in the morning with body aches… like…
