Enigma
2013
Enigma: something hard to understand or explain.
I step out of my 12 passenger van in my black high-heeled boots, skinny jeans and Long Hair Don’t Care shirt, large silver earrings dangling from my earlobes and push out a car stuck in the snow.
I am a Mom to 7 and an aspiring writer.
I am trying to be closer to God and I yell at my kids to put their damn shoes away.
I love makeup and nice clothes and take my daughter to run errands in her bright green princess dress which she accentuates with my brown high-heeled boots.
I am a terrible housekeeper, but my schedule is organized beyond belief.
I wear knee length skirts and high-heels to church, then sit on the floor to play with the nursery age children.
I am a Pepsi drinking runner.
I am a proponent of natural childbirth and a believer in pain medication for afterbirth pains.
I make my children healthy school lunches and feed them cold cereal for breakfast.
I am me.
I have loved being part of the Just.Be.Enough. team and learning all about other women and who they are. I am touched and inspired by each and every one of them. One of the things that I am learning by being part of the team is that I am enough. I am enough of me.
I am finding balance in my own diversity.
I am finding tenacity in my goals.
I am laughing at my faults.
I am me.
Sometimes, I am an enigma.
And that is enough.
Enough me.

You are wonderful! You have always made me laugh and this post was hilarious! Don’t ever beat yourself up, you’re doing great! (Just ask my Mother! Tee Hee)
I love this. A celebration of you, and your enoughness. That is a beautiful thing. (Even if enoughness isn’t a word!)

I think that’s the point, to be a little bit of everything. To celebrate all the PARTS of ourselves. That is why I love being part of JBE with you. It’s inspiring.
