12 Jul I am Enough from Lisa MacIntosh
I sat and stared at this coffee cup. It had my name on it, but who am I? Who is Lisa? It sent me into a spin that lasted the entire day. Suddenly I wasn’t sure who Lisa was anymore. Where had I gone? What...

05 Jul i am enough from Beryl Young
I had a moment recently where I started doubting everything. My abilities as a wife, mother, friend. and the places where I live and work. The wear and tear of a 2 hour daily commute to a full time job all while mothering a toddler...
28 Jun i am enough from diana foster
There is a long tradition with me of loving all things old. As the oldest of seven, I was born old. Others needed me to be old. Who depended on me? Some days, it seemed like too many. These defining moments called for fancy footwork. ...
21 Jun i am enough from Amy Lee Czadzeck
Dear You, I’ve been writing to you for years. I have collected little reminders on yellow sticky note pads. They aren’t all of me. They are scraps of the day, scribbles, you may say. The notes were for you to see when you woke up in...

06 Sep I am enough from Merideth Mehlberg
My 3 year-old LOVES getting her face painted. Everywhere we go where face painting is offered, she is first in line. Every time, she asks for the same images to be inked on her face: Thomas the Tank Engine and James the Red Engine (my daughter adores...
23 Aug I am enough from Jane Hinchliffe
The words - ‘I am enough’, resonate deeply for me. My moment of deep realisation came to me in a flash of insight, whilst meditating. I was so moved, that I drew an artwork poster for others to download as a daily reminder. Sometimes however, I...
