Forget Perfect - Lisa Earle McLeod

If you're on a tight deadline here are direct quotes from Lisa to pull into your article or feature:

"If exhaustion and poor body image are the root of a woman’s flat line libido, get a maid and a dimmer switch ."
"Trying to be perfect doesn't make people like you more; it makes them like you less."
"Country music and medical science agree- the love of a good woman does in fact make him a better man. Too bad he doesn't enjoy the process'"
"Your example is creating the next generation's should list"
"Girlfriends are the mojo of marriage. Every woman likes her husband better after a girls night out."
"From the American Revolution to Apple Computer, love has been the cornerstone of every successful venture since the dawn of time. It's not something we need to pursue outside of corporate America, LOVE os what we need to bring into corporate America."

"People who love what they do and love the people they do it with absolutely shine."
"Women need to be in relationships, it is essential to the survival of our souls."
"A real friend isn't always a yes friend. If you want somebody to tell you how wonderful you are, call your mother, a friend is going to tell you the truth."

"Taking help is just as big a gift as giving it. If you’re always the one giving, you’re cheating the people around you."
"You're not trying to create a perfect childhood, you're trying to create a functioning adult, and that means somebody who knows the world doesn’t revolve around them."
"Dating is about fun, marriage is about work."
"Deciding what to do now, isn't deciding what to do with the rest of your life."
"Your regular old life can be a special occasion, if you let it."
