Every single week I look forward to Friday because it means we get the share the voice of a community member. A voice that has her own story. This week brings the voice of someone I consider to be a friend. Tracy of Sellabit Mum is a beautiful, intelligent, wickedly funny woman I had the [...]

You know those days when you’re reading blog posts from other writers you respect and you come across THE post? THE post that makes you nod your head up and down in agreement? Our guest poster, Julie C. Gardner, is one of those writers whose audience often is seen nodding their head in agreement and [...]
Be Enough Me: Looking in the Mirror
April 29, 2012 By 10 Comments
This week we asked you to respond to the prompt “When I look in the mirror…” I have been thinking about this prompt for days. DAYS. Because I could probably write an entire book just from this one prompt. (Don’t worry, I am not going to do that here.) But something happened to help me [...]

Voices. Many voices. One of the most prevalent bits of feedback that came out of our recent survey to help Just.Be.Enough. grow was the desire to hear many different voices share their stories of being enough. Which is why I love Fridays because in addition to the amazing regular contributors who write from Monday to [...]
The Face of Being Real
April 4, 2012 By 12 Comments
I have two faces that represent “me.” This is the face I present to the world, most days. This is the face my family sees every day. It’s the real me, and if it’s enough for them, I want it to be enough for you too. To be real and enough, you don’t have to [...]
Fulfilling a Promise

Today, like every Friday, we have a special guest to tell her story. Today’s story is from Ashley, mom to a 2 1/5-year-old boy and wife to an incredibly loving and supportive husband. When she’s not taking care of her kidlet and hubby, she’s chasing after four chickens and enjoying a (very large) glass of [...]
The Woman in the Mirror
March 13, 2012 By 8 Comments
I rise in the darkness, the stars and early commuters my only companions on the road. If I go now, I can be done before the busy day begins. The building is already starting to come alive as I walk through it. Through large glass doors, past a coffee shop and down an unassuming hallway [...]
Surviving Adultery
March 6, 2012 By 36 Comments
When my daughter was three years old, I found out that my husband (the love of my life, who was as perfect as a man could ever be in my eyes) was cheating on me. With more than one woman. It shook the foundations of my world, shattered my hopes and dreams, and altered the [...]
Challenging Media Images
February 14, 2012 By 9 Comments
After a day of impatience and hurt feelings, I curl up with my kids and read our bedtime story. Their heads lean into mine, small fingers curling near my neck. Goodnight sighs and hugs remind me that tomorrow will be better, that motherhood is filled with good and bad days. When I struggle with words, [...]
