Today call me enough
Today call me enough; yes that’s right my friends. I have a post featured at Just.Be.Enough. and I could not be more proud.
When Elena asked me to share a post, I jumped at the chance to become a part of the conversation at a place devoted to acknowledging the good that already exists inside us.
So many of us spend our days building up others while we simultaneously tear our own selves down. We’re quick to focus on our imperfections, our not-quite-yets instead of the alreadys and the bests that we have given.
I want us to stop doing that. And Elena Sonnino does, too. In fact, she has this to say this about the site she founded:
Imagine feeling taller. Imagine feeling stronger from the inside out. Imagine knowing and BELIEVING that you are strong. Just.Be.Enough.
I can’t think of a better goal to reach. For each of us as individuals, for our children we are teaching how to live.
Because I want these kids to learn to love themselves even half as much as I do.
So please visit me and the ladies of Just.Be.Enough, then follow them on twitter and Facebook.
And one last thing, my beautiful, smart, generous friends: Promise me to never forget -
You are enough. Just as you are.
And when all else fails, ice cream is pretty awesome, too.

Unfortunately, I didn’t pay close attention to how many posts I had published because when you’re... Read more
Featured Post: Today call me laid
Today call me laid but I’m referring to grammar; more specifically to the infinitives to lie and to lay. So if your Google search brought you here for something sexier, you’re in luck. There’s nothing hotter than the proper conjugation of verbs.

Featured Post: Today call me a mother.
Today call me a mother; which means of course I’ve embraced the joys and uncertainties, the fear and faith that attends the title. Motherhood is a gift beyond words, a challenge that bears a name but no fair or complete description.
In its sharpest distillation, parenting calls... Read more

Off to visit you there and you are even more “enough” than ice cream. With sprinkles.

I loved that post the first time I read it, and I loved reading it again today. It fits so perfectly with the concept–no tag reading required.

Ice cream and wine … maybe not together.
A wine float, maybe champagne with sorbet …
I think this may work
