I am Enough: Journal Affirmations for Girls
eBook
(Diego Beach Publishing Nov. 29, 2013)
This book is also available in paperback format, which includes lined pages for journaling.
Our six book series is designed to empower girls to navigate their way through life with confidence, self-esteem, compassion, creativity, collaboration and joy through the thoughtful contemplation and expression of their own unique perspectives, ideals and experiences.
Each book is excellent as a journal for one girl or as a tool in a group setting for writing and discussion. Journal entries do not talk down or issue simple edicts, but respect the intelligence and individuality of every girl.
What does it mean to be enough? It means that you are complete just as you are. You do not require fixing. You are worthy. You are intelligent. You are beautiful. Use the notes pages to journal your thoughts as you affirm this truth. You are Enough.
I am not a measurement
A set of numbers
Their relevance determined by others
In a society that seeks constant judgment
A computation of my proportions
Against garish standards
Dividing the good and the bad
According to some scale
Created in absurdity
In some strange twist of fate
A crooked line in humanity's development
I am not a computation on a bell curve
A dot on a graph
I refuse to be measured
On any scale
Not wrought of my own design
The dial turning
The arrow pointing
In a direction of my choosing
And mine alone
For there is no equation
Capable of measuring me
My complexities surpass the ability
To be analyzed by numbers
Meant to fit inside boxes
I reject the proposition
That places me on any scale
I am not a measurement
