Enough Already!


And YOU are too! 


I was listening to Brene Brown's Daring Greatly this morning while I was cleaning the bathroom and something struck a chord with me.  I've heard it before but I had to stop and write it down on my dry-erase board in the dining room.  "No matter what gets done and how much is left undone. I am ENOUGH." The bathroom didn't get spotless.  The worst was cleaned and then I got distracted with other mothering duties.  And you know what? That's ok.  I'm enough.  

And you are too.



Gold

You were walking on the moon, now you're feeling low oh oh....
What they said wasn't true, you're beautiful...
Sticks and stones break your bones, I know what you're feeling
Words like those, won't steal your glow, you're one in a million



This is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, oh yeah yeah Gold, gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold, gold, oh yeah yeah Gold, gold)



Well everybody keeps score, afraid you're gonna lose
Just ignore, they don't know the real you
All the rain in the sky, can't put out your fire
out of all the stars out tonight, you shine brighter!



This is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, oh yeah yeah Gold, gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold oh yeah yeah Gold, gold)



So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved
And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough
Yeah there are days when we all feel like we're messed up
But the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out
You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars
This is for you, wherever you - are.....



Yeah..... yeah, eh, yeah
You're gold



this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
(So hold your head) So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, oh yeah yeah Gold, gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold oh yeah yeah Gold, gold)



So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out...

You is kind. You is smart. You is important

Strong.  Smart.
You are strong. You're smart.

(You is kind. You is smart. You is important.)


"You have always amazed me with how strong you are."
"You've always been smart."
"I have always been proud of your strength and beauty."
"I have seen you rise above SO MANY things in your life, and I admire you so much for your faith, courage, resilience and dedication to the Lord."

People have actually said these words to me.

And yet, I find them hard to believe.

A part of me, deep down, has always whispered these things too.
But I have such a hard time believing her.

My inner self.

These are just things on my mind right now as I work on healing.
