You Are Enough - A Note To Self

In the 12 years I have been doing this, this is probably my longest break from blog writing. I have been writing more than ever, like TONS! I have been discerning more strictly what wants to be shared. My discernment boils down to this question; Will this open a place in someone else that will bring them some form of fulfillment, inspiration, hope, or healing? Is it possible that by sharing my struggles and lessons from my failures make the vulnerability worth the risk?

This week, our oldest son referred me to one of Brené Brown’s pieces of wisdom from the Dare to Lead training we did together with this question, “Are you being held back by the people in the cheap seats?”

So there it is, the nudge I needed. Not only to start sharing again, but to look at why I struggle more than necessary to begin with.

I have heard that others struggle intensely with not being enough. So I hope that if you take the time to read this that it lands just where you need to hear it and hold it. You ARE enough and so am I.

Writing with the prompt, what does your heart want you to hear, to be with, in this moment?

I am enough. There has never been a time, in recent memory, that I thought for a second that you were not enough, that you lacked the capacity to grow and love, receive lessons, abundance, and fulfillment. So why on Earth would I hold this debilitating restriction out in front of myself, denying blessings and opportunities that the Universe continuously gifts?

Why wouldn’t I stand there and cheer myself on and pray for and celebrate my enough-ness, this very thing I most love celebrating in others?

Why, for an reason, would I want to block my own blessings?

Wonder, humility, gratitude, and worthiness can exist at the same time. Open Up. Enjoy.
