Good Enough?


Often times I hear a voice asking, "Am I good enough?" (It doesn't just focus on the art.) A loud chorus starts to respond. Louder and louder it gets until out of the cacophony, a soft voice says, "Are you?" 

Even after doing what I've done for well over a decade, I still play the same song in my head. The voices push me and sometimes I push back. Sometimes the voices push me in a different direction. They make me think of things I hadn't thought of before. They open my eyes. Sometimes the voices hurt me and I can't take it any more. 

Sometimes we just have to be enough.

You are good enough. I have a brass locket that has that sentiment stamped inside. I wear it often, it's my secret but I know it's there. I have this thought all the time. I wonder because I no longer work because of illness, Am I good enough. What really defines us a person? Society? What others think? It's so hard to reach deep inside and just know that indeed we are. Hugs.

I value your heart..which you have opened. I just did a page about my heart not being valued from my ex-husband. We all need to take care of the hearts of people we love.
Thank you Kelly

Thank you, Ladies. I think it makes it easier when we know we're not alone.

@Alexandra I'm super crazy busy at the moment but am planning a book post soon. As far as art supplies, check back on recent blog posts. I haven't bought much lately and what I have bought I posted on here, fb or instagram. The coolest new thing are new stencil designs from dick Blick that I bought. Haven't bought tape for a bit. What are you looking for?
You are absolutely more than enough! Why do we doubt ourselves so much? Sending you extra (((hugs))) and love. :)
