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
*
That sign is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Thank you!! xoxo I am enough...you are enough...we are enough. You rock Beth! xoxo
ReplyDeleteyes. we are, but we listen to those mean little voices sometimes when we should really just put some duct tape across their mouths.
ReplyDeleteand 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." :)
What a perfect sign. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePerfect sign.
ReplyDeleteNeeded this today....now I need to truly believe it;)
Happy day to you!
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.....................
ReplyDeleteperfect!! thanks!
ReplyDeleteI BELIEVE the words on your sign, Beth - but it has taken me many years to get to this place.
ReplyDeleteA very good sign to remember. One thing I also remind myself is: I HAVE enough.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am more than enough! Just ask my boyfriend. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this. And I love Kelly's duct tape idea.

but can we stop with just one helping? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lesson that I SOOOOO need to really, finally and completely absorb.
ReplyDeleteI visited a place today with my camera.. and I thought of you..oh, the rapture of picture taking in this place...right up your alley. It is my post tonight if you care to take a look.
beautiful
ReplyDeleteand you are totally enough
You are beautiful, Beth!! I LOVE your sign!
ReplyDeleteYou, my friend, are more than enough. You are just about perfect.
ReplyDeleteyou are overflowing the brim with ENOUGH!! You fill my cup when I drink from the blogwell.

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

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.
ReplyDeletebeautifully said and documented. thank you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you encounter a post you really need to see on a given day. This is that day, and this is that post. Thanks, my friend.
ReplyDeleteyes. thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - you're so right. Maybe I could borrow your sign?
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
