July Affirmations
I am…Enough
Now more than ever it is so important to know that we are enough. You are enough, I am enough, together WE ARE ENOUGH.
Lately, there has been a major shift in the conversations around the lives of Black Americans and all POC for that matter. With this month’s affirmation of “I am Enough”, Yvonne wants to stress that no matter your background, race, religion, sex, etc…you are enough, you are whole and you are worthy of living a life going after your dreams.
Now is the time that we can put ourselves in someone else’s shoes - where we can truly try to empathize with people of all different backgrounds. We are all universally connected to one another, and there is no time like the present moment to start (or continue) watching, listening and reading to learn more about the people who make up our communities.
We must be mindful of what we say to one another. Now is when we can come forward to listen, to speak up, to learn…most importantly to unite together (socially distant of course :)…) and lift one another up. You are Enough, I am Enough, We are Enough. Your battle is my battle, your pain is my pain, your success is my success.
Going forward, Yvonne’s blog will come with a Book Suggestion of the Month in order to highlight minority artists and creatives. This month’s book of the month is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see…” — John Lennon
