Hello gang, Emma here!

In this week’s note you’ll find:

👯‍♀️ Replays to nourish your mind and body from last week
🌼 A little story about enoughness
📆 Events coming up this week

In a little store in the Carmes quartier of Toulouse on Saturday I picked a gold bracelet for my early birthday present with my tiny mum, a circle on a chain, and then a matching necklace which the amazing woman below created for me, to my length from her workshop behind the counter.

All the pieces in Mademoiselle Nuage are beautiful, and they have little descriptions of what each stone represents or channels - resilience, trust, love, courage.

But I picked the gold circle because it said ‘Enough’ to me.

A circle is perfectly complete.

A circle represents community, support, cycles.

I wanted to have a tactile reminder that I am enough. That what we do today is enough. That the desire to create, connect and be is enough.

That being present is enough.

Last week I joined my first ever creative writing workshop with Joy Studio member More Than Just Views - curious yes, but also with zero expectations, I decided it was enough to just be there and open, and what I discovered from that place of enough?

A sense of peace and calm, of what I can only describe as the unself-consciousness I don’t think I’d felt since I was five or six, the age not coincidentally when like many of you I first felt not enough.

I found myself twirling my hair, letting my legs fall where they felt comfortable, not where they were arranged to be ladylike or not flash my non-judgemental dog.

I did not expect that, but I felt this enoughness carry through into the week.

So many of us create from not enough.

We have a perpetual hunger for something outside, ahead, elusive and it can feel like the sickly feeling of candyfloss when we do momentarily achieve our goals before setting the next one.

Others set small goals, survival goals, from feeling that we are not enough and so cannot have the beautiful things, the precious joyful things that are kept on the top drawer of life (we believe) for the efficient and disciplined.

I want to invite you to try a practise of being enough this week.

To use the workshop my coach Bridget hosted, the replay is below, to process any emotions that come up around this idea, and to then return again.

Just as I was able to touch the circle on my neck and remind five year old me that she’s enough when I had a frustrating morning and felt disappointing to everyone, you will be able to guide yourself to enough and then see what happens when you navigate your day from that space.

Let me know how you get on!

Emma ✨
