i am enough from Kristin Zecchinelli

i am enough from Kristin Zecchinelli

i catch a glimpse
a flash if pink
something wild this way comes.

who is that girl?
what is her story?

she is a momma,
fierce and loving.

she is a wife,
warrior and steadfast.

she is a woman,
heavy breasts and sagging belly. birthed 3 people into this world

she is an artist
(she.is.)

she is the life of the party
mixes one hell of a long island iced tea

she is a little girl
insecure, afraid, bruised, good, wanting, trying, fixing

she is kristi, spidey, bubbles, momma, kristin,
mother lover friend homemaker hardworker quilter cook nurturer giver
kisser of boo-boos, maker of sheet forts
dreamer wisher believer
flawed (ever so)
but learning growing accepting all of these incarnations, all of these pieces of she.
knowing that even on her worst of days,
she is worthy.
she is enough.
she is… me.

………..

    I've just discovered your blog and I'm speechless at the beauty Kristen's poem. I want to pin it over my desk, read it daily to remind myself that I, too, am enough.

    Sometimes in the cut and thrust of the outrageously overfull way most of us live, it's easy to forget that we are all, enough. Thank you.

    I look forward to reading more of your blog.

    Kristin, somehow I missed this last week. I'm so glad I found it now. You are enough, you are beautiful. I love those last few lines "knowing that even on her worst of days, she is worthy." You are, and so am I. One of the things I love about these I am enough essays is that I can see myself in everyone. We are all worthy. BTW, love the pink, it looks great on you! 🙂
