You're already enough

"You're already enough." This quote is something Cathy Heller, podcaster and author, says all the time. I wonder, "Do you know that you are already enough?" I sure don't! I'm always looking to find a better way to do something and be a better human. When words speak to my soul, I don't want to forget them.

For many years, I have been in the habit of taking powerful words that I read or hear, and I combine them with pictures that represent how I want to feel, or that are beautiful to me. Then, I'll add other quotes or phrases that are meaningful to me and suddenly, I have a collage. Thanks to Unsplash, there are photographers who publish their pictures for free use by people like me. 
​

"Listen to the whisper's of your soul."
"What makes you come alive?"
"There will never be another you."
​

I don't know who spoke these quotes but they stir my soul; they comfort me, they make me pause and reflect, they make my heart feel overflowing with deep joy. I've created hundreds of collages just like this one. Sometimes I print them as a photograph to frame and hang on a wall. I save them digitally and use them as a screensaver. I create a digital folder to store them for future use. The point is that I put them somewhere I will see them frequently so that I don't forget. When I need a boost, I scroll through and look at them and it redirects me towards joy, love, and beauty; the place where I prefer to live as much as possible.

"This is for you, Dear One." (Did those words just speak to your soul? They are the words of Sarah Blondin, teacher, author, podcaster.) They touch me deeply each and every time I hear them. So, this is for you. Use it with your best intentions to soothe your soul. Print it, save it, bookmark this post. May the words and images wash over you like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for reading. :-)
