I Am Stronger Than I Have Ever Been Before

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
OMG...are you SERIOUS???

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
No you're not, you're weak from the chemo.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
We don't FEEL very strong right now.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
For cripes sakes, you can't even summon the energy to take a damned walk.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Not true. You were much stronger before all of this cancer crap happened.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
You are weak, girlfriend, just admit it.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
No.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
There are other kinds of strength besides physical body strength.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Well, I'll give you that.

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Strength is both inner and outer and we are pretty damned strong, I must say! Look at what we've been through, look at what we've survived!

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Yes!

I am stronger than I have ever been before.
And even if you don't feel strong right now, you will feel stronger and stronger as the days and weeks go by.

Day 3- I Am Enough. I Do Enough. I Have Enough.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Then why are you continually thinking of what to DO next?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But what others think really DOES matter.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Not to look at your bank account, ha!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
If you really believed that, would we be in this situation?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
It's not that simple.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I disagree... it IS that simple. Anne Marie is perfect exactly as she is, without any add-ons or more things to do.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But what about the list of projects hanging on the wall?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
She can still dream of putting her work into the world.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But is she only going to DREAM it or is she going to DO it?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
She can do both. It's just a matter of discernment. It's a matter of not getting carried away with the DO-ing.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Yes. She can relax when she needs to, especially now.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I don't think it will ever be enough. There is SO much that I want, want, want to have and to do and to be.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Let's get to the bottom of this.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You are encouraging yourself to relax and slow down and that is so good for you!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
How would our life be different if we operated from this premise?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.

Day 2- I Am Enough. I Do Enough. I Have Enough.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Oh boy, not this again!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
No, no. That is not true. There is always something more to do, to be, to have.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You will never stop shopping, that's for sure.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I don't THINK so!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
One wouldn't know this to look at your purchasing history.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Imagine what it would be like if we really LIVED from this belief!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Yes, we would get through life much more slowly and calmly.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
And we'd have more money for bigger things.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You'll never live from this belief. The opposite is too ingrained in your head.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But there is always something else.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
LOL.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I don't believe this.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I could believe this if I hear it enough.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But if I believe this, there won't be any more to-do lists or exciting projects to begin.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I think it is more about a way of life, believing enough is very rich.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You can still be creative and have a flourishing business. It doesn't mean that you'll never DO anything again!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Just relax and let yourself BE. Stop worrying about what other people think about what you are doing or not doing. Eh?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Thank you! This feels good.

Day 1- I Am Enough. I Do Enough. I Have Enough.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Ha!

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Well, where do I begin to refute all of this nonsense?

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I don't believe that.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Never never never enough.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But still you want more all the time.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Let's just focus on ONE of these biggies, eh?

I do enough.
I don't THINK so.

I do enough.
Not in this lifetime.

I do enough.
There is SO much still to do, how can you say it is enough???

I do enough.
If that is true, then your to-do lists are way too long!

I do enough.
Maybe she should stop doing and start BE-ing.

I do enough.
And sometimes you DO too much.

I do enough.
You underestimate your impact on the world.

I do enough.
You can stop DO-ing and start relaxing now.

I do enough.
I'll think about this some more.

I do enough.
You do plenty for others. You're just not aware of it.

I do enough.
People won't like you unless you keep DOING things to stay in their good graces.

I do enough.
People judge you by what you DO in this world.

I do enough.
It doesn't matter what other people think about the way she behaves in this world.

I do enough.
You do plenty.

I do enough.
It feels good to hear you keep saying this over and over.

I do enough.
Thank you! I feel a great release in this belief.

Everything I Need is Being Provided to Me

Everything I need is being provided to me.
Maybe some things, surely not everything.

Everything I need is being provided to me.
Sometimes, not always.

Everything I need is being provided to me.
What about what I need that I’m NOT getting?

Everything I need is being provided to me.
I need my cat Sasha back. That is NOT being provided to me.

Everything I need is being provided to me.

But you can’t say EVERYthing!

Everything I need is being provided to me.

Everything I need is being provided to me.
You have to have strong faith to believe this.

Everything I need is being provided to me.
Well, look back at the last few years, she is right!

Everything I need is being provided to me.
Yes, crap happens, LIFE happens, and there are some things we have no control over.
But Spirit provides what we DO need, every time.

Everything I need is being provided to me.
Hrrrmmmph! Further proof is warranted.

Everything I need is being provided to me.
One day at a time. Just believe.

Everything is Working for My Highest Good

Everything is working for my highest good.
Oh, bah. Chemo cannot possibly be for your HIGHEST GOOD.

Everything is working for my highest good.
Give me a break.

Everything is working for my highest good.
That can't possibly be true.

Everything is working for my highest good.
Not if you got raped and murdered.

Everything is working for my highest good.
You don't really believe that, do you?

Everything is working for my highest good.
Some things, maybe but not EVERYthing, not the crappy stuff.

Everything is working for my highest good.
I don't see how getting cancer again is for your highest GOOD.

Everything is working for my highest good.
You are living in a fairy tale.

Everything is working for my highest good.
I don't believe that.

Everything is working for my highest good.
What planet are you ON sista?

Everything is working for my highest good.
Maybe some things, but not the cancer, not the mastectomy, not the chemo.

Everything is working for my highest good.
This can't possibly be true, can it?

Everything is working for my highest good.
Even bad things? How can that be?

Everything is working for my highest good.
Let's wait and see. I'm still not convinced about EVERYthing.
