It\u2019s been some months since I last checked in with you\u2019ll, but don\u2019t you worry&#8230; I\u2019m here to stay! Expect monthly blog post, bi-weekly podcast recordings\/videos, and overall great things within our communities. I missed sharing space with all of you and know that I\u2019ve been using this time to work on ME!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said&#8230; let\u2019s discuss the importance of knowing YOU\/WE\/I are\/am ENOUGH! Male or female&#8230; this is all inclusive, lol. Those who know me&#8230; or who have followed me &#8211; know that I\u2019m always down for a good quote, well here you go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.\u201d\u2013 Maya Angelou<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever had a moment or moments of self reflection feeling like you weren\u2019t enough? Questioning things like: I\u2019m too big, too small, too dark, too tall, too short, not good in the bedroom (ha! Yes I said it&#8230; lol), don\u2019t eat right, not a good communicator, don\u2019t express my feelings well enough for others to understand, I push people away, what\u2019s wrong with me, my relationships don\u2019t last, this isn\u2019t the job for me, this isn\u2019t the person for me, what did I do to deserve this, why me&#8230;.? Ha! I can go on and on but I don\u2019t want to take too much of your time, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m here to tell you that even if you have insecurities, things that you are working on, nay sayers, goals that you have yet to achieve, and\/or dreams that have yet to come true&#8230; be patient with yourself&#8230; because guess what? YOU ARE ENOUGH! Let\u2019s start by recognizing our self-worth. If WE don\u2019t believe we deserve what our heart, spirit, and soul desires things will never happen. If you are religious&#8230; that includes being faithful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take time to self-reflect and after you do that say it LOUD and PROUD&#8230; look in the mirror, SHOUT, \u201cI AM ENOUGH!\u201d Do it now&#8230; say it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you do it? How did it make you feel? Did you feel silly? Did it feel forced? Did you immediately start doubting yourself and thinking about all the reasons you aren\u2019t enough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth be told&#8230; I have a list of things that I\u2019m still working on and constantly have to remind myself that I am enough. I hope you don\u2019t mind that I share&#8230; lol well, if you are reading this&#8230; you don\u2019t mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m working on releasing the need to control because I\u2019m not in control. I\u2019m working on feeling defeated when I\u2019m rejected. I\u2019m working on juggling many things as a mom of four and feeling like I don\u2019t always have enough to give. I\u2019m working on constantly finding things to love about myself because no one (human) can love me better than I love me. I work daily at making and setting aside space for me&#8230; I tend to pour into people and consciously make an effort to be mindful of my energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all have days that aren\u2019t so great. We are constantly reminded of the list of things that weigh us down at times when things don\u2019t go our way or something happens within our day to trigger an emotion or feeling. Guess what? Those are the days that I tell myself repeatedly that I\u2019m enough&#8230; I gently start smiling and laughing to myself which then triggers happy feelings. I then start thinking about all the things I\u2019m good at&#8230; the people I love-who love me&#8230; my accomplishments&#8230; etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I AM ENOUGH! I\u2019m more concerned now a days with showing up, loving hard, and living in the moments without judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I AM ENOUGH! Im compassionate. I love serving the people in my community. I practice mindfulness daily. I am not afraid of the truth or telling it lol I am loyal, supportive, a genuine friend and a good person to be around. Im protective. Im a good lover&#8230; yes, I said it lol and will say it again&#8230; haha! Toot toot&#8230; beep beep! Go ahead and smile&#8230; lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I AM ENOUGH! I\u2019m human and I make mistakes, but I own them and learn from them. I\u2019m faithful. I\u2019m hopeful&#8230; did I say I love HARD? Lol, well&#8230; I do and my energy speaks to that. Even when I don\u2019t think so, I\u2019m reminded that I\u2019m beautiful. I\u2019m sensual&#8230; the list goes on&#8230; What\u2019s your list? Sit down and make one as a gentle reminder when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know and feel that YOU are ENOUGH! Self-care&#8230; self-reflection&#8230; is necessary. Make today the day you stop letting others opinions of or lack of love for you dictate your worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YOU ARE ENOUGH KINGS AND QUEENS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for allowing me to share beautiful people&#8230; peace and love until next month or check out my podcast: FACTS with Fontashia on most streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fontashia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"515\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-515x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-515x1024.jpg 515w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-151x300.jpg 151w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-768x1526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-773x1536.jpg 773w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-73x146.jpg 73w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-25x50.jpg 25w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581-38x75.jpg 38w, https:\/\/financialacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_3581.jpg 902w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Enough Hey beautiful people&#8230; Kings and Queens!
