Enough

When you’re feeling like what you’re doing is small or insignificant. Or you’re wondering if you’re really making an impact or a difference in the world at all, just remember, that there is usually a delay in seeing things come full circle.

As I often do, I’m sitting thinking about the sweet girls at Pure & Faultless, and how they have taught me so well to use my voice and find my inner peace.

On my second trip to Uganda, Jess and Nikki allowed each of us to take ownership of something, my heart lept and I immediately knew I wanted to help with the empowerment program for the girls.

If I’m honest, I didn’t really know exactly what that should look like, but I just followed my heart.

I had brought these little warrior cards with me that I'd made for the girls... I will never forget standing there, as tears streamed down my eyes hearing these girls use their voices to claim “I am enough”.

Now, I have to tell you, that I had second guessed myself so many times. Thinking it was silly or not really that profound.... after the fact I thought to myself that I could have done something “better”, or impacted them in a more long lasting way.

I wanted these girls to really know how valued and loved and so freaking enough they are.

In March we returned & got to spend more time with the girls again... We were hanging out and just chatting, and then there it was... this poster on the wall, with my little card attached to it. It stopped me in my tracks and the tears immediately started to drop from my eyes.

It did leave an impact, it did make a difference, it was still impacting them.

This isn’t about me, but I know that it’s so freaking hard sometimes to just keep doing your thing and putting yourself out there. Sometimes you feel self conscious or that you could have done better. Sometimes it’s real and raw and messy and comes with tears streaming down your faces... but sometimes, you get to see that impact.

✨Be you, friends. ✨Be so authentically you. ✨You are enough exactly as you are. ✨Show up. ✨Be real. ✨Be raw. ✨Be messy. ✨Just be you.
