are you enough....

wrote a beautiful post a few weeks back that included these words
~
"life is just overwhelming at times
and
we are all standing on a corner
with a sign in our hands needing something"
~
and
then she asked us what our sign might look like if we had one
~
"i am enough"
is the sign i made in my studio this afternoon
~
easily said
but oh so hard to believe
~
as women
we tend to think
we're not thin enough
we're not smart enough
we're not nice enough
we're not patient enough
we're not strong enough
we're not brave enough
we're not gracious enough
we're not quick enough
and
the list could go on and on
~
but
guess what
~
we are enough
~
you are enough
~
i am enough
~
so use my sign today
and
pretend you're wearing it proudly on your body like a sandwich board
~
if you want to see the other signs
would love to have you stop by

  3. yes. we are, but we listen to those mean little voices sometimes when we should really just put some duct tape across their mouths.
    and then laugh at them a little.
    and in my studio, beside the sign i made today, i have a little slip of paper that says "be yourself, everyone else is taken." :)

  6. Great, powerful sign and sadly it doesn´t just apply to women, it applies to us men too, for we are all trying to find ourselves, we just don´t like to let anyone else know!,Shoosh! It is a secret.....................

  7. I BELIEVE the words on your sign, Beth - but it has taken me many years to get to this place.

  8. A very good sign to remember. One thing I also remind myself is: I HAVE enough.

  9. Sometimes I am more than enough! Just ask my boyfriend. :)

    Love this. And I love Kelly's duct tape idea.

  17. Thank you Beth for always being able to say it so well and in a way that hits home and doesn't seem superficial.
    I am enough and i will try to say it every day.
    Have a great one.

  19. I would also add--I have enough. In these days, we always think we need more things, usually material things. It's nice to have a husband who thinks I am enough too.

  22. Oh yeah - you're so right. Maybe I could borrow your sign?

  23. This is one we so often need to remind ourselves of as we battle all the messages we receive from the outside world....or from our own private inner worlds.
    Thank you.
