i am enough


At Jill Conyers suggestion, my effort to make this EPIC and my whole-hearted belief that I AM ENOUGH here goes ...

Here's how I know 'i am enough'

My daughter loves to hug me even after a sweaty run.

I am content sitting in the sun on the back patio with my water bottle as a cool down.

The food prepared in my kitchen is done with love and feeds a hungry family.


And it goes deeper than that ..

I am enough because I give of myself openly and freely.

I strive to maintain a strong, healthy life for myself and my family.

I love my work and the people who contribute to that on a daily basis.

The sound of laughter after dinner in our family room is the best relaxation on the planet.

I am hard on myself and my running - not fast enough, not long enough.  But 'i am enough' because this is who I am.

I AM ENOUGH!  I smile as I type it, not in disbelief, but in full agreement.  I AM ENOUGH!

That will be the way I finish my next run ... fully, openly and with the statement - I AM ENOUGH!

And I'm back

Right now on the downslide to 2018 there are some things that need to change.  I can feel them in my bones, in my heart and on my mind!  This is going to be the year of me.  Feeling, doing, loving better than I have before.... not wondering, resting and being cautious! This image is the inspiration I need.  The critic is the inner critic.  And i'm done listening to her.  Here's what I know.  I'm braver and stronger than I ever imagined.  When someone says I can't do something I say, 'just watch me."  So here goes. 2018 feeling better feeling stronger being curious being bold taking adventures taking time to do it right

Day 16: Six Word Memoir

"Thought about stopping, then ran harder." Day 16 for the Blogember challenge is a 6-word memoir. I could substitute 'ran' for 'tried' almost every day.  Even if for just a brief moment I am paralyzed with fear, confusion, doubt - I press on.  And that is the very best time …. knowing that I still have the power within me to continue to 'fight'. This can be a physical challenge, emotional challenge or just what appears to be a mountain of work to overcome…. whatever it is, if I choose to find a way through it, rather than around it - I'm successful. Happened again this week at work - and my husband reminded me last night.  Why did you let it get you down for two days when you knew they best way to solve it was head-on, with a direct conversation?  He's right.  But I'm not successful with the conversation until I'm mentally prepared to have it.  And yesterday I did.   That's my mantra.  For running, and for l...

Day 23: My Reverse Bucket List

Oh the commitment to Blogember - has enabled me to look forward to writing each day.  And during a random day off from work yesterday,  I was thinking, 'how can I continue this writing through the end of the year .. at least?"  This has been a wonderful gift to me, enabling me to have a reason to write - not about the accomplishments that occur or even capturing the mundane moments - but the commitment to write on a pre-chosen topic has become a discipline that I believe I would miss if I stopped just because the calendar changes to December. More to come on that … My Reverse Bucket list is a new concept to me.  I once did the Bucket List exercise with a friend choosing 10 things a day that we sent back and forth over email.  Our lists reached 100 and when forced to come up with ten new ones a day I was sometimes surprised what showed up. The Reverse Bucket List - 2013 start to hike the 46 high peaks in NYS go back to school and get my degree meet ...
