I Am Enough Dish Soap Reminder

My I Am Enough tape on my dish soap

“…Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.”
Kabir

I started putting my own stickers on my dish soap bottles when our Co-op began carrying bulk liquid soap.

I think I got used to having a label I liked to look at when  Dawn dish soap started putting pictures of birds on their labels, after the Exxon Valdes Oil Spill.  (Dawn soap was used to help clean the oil off some of the birds caught in the spill).

But the bottles of dish soap I saved to refill didn’t have ducks on their label.  And the label was so big on one of the bottles that my stickers wouldn’t cover it.  So I cut a piece of my I Am Enough packing tape and stuck it on the bottle.

Now whenever I do the dishes, I’ll be reminded that I Am Enough.

“I Am Enough” And “Show Your Soul” Magnets For Sale

I Am Enough Magnet for sale in my Etsy Shop

I got my I Am Enough and Show Your Soul magnets today.  I was so excited to see them.  I’ve made them into posters and postcards, (which are mostly sold out at the moment) and I think they work really well as magnets.

(You can buy them here.)

I think both messages are timeless and important.  I know I often need to be reminded that, I am enough.

The words Show Your Soul continue to move me.  They come from this quote from Clarissa Pinkola Estes:

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these – to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.”

The images on both magnets are goddesses from fiber paintings that I made. I think they illustrate the words well.

Each magnet is 2″x4″.  They are $6 each + $1 shipping for one or more.

“Wow…what timing… At yoga today our Yogi (Courtney) told us that when we breathe in to believe that “I am authentic”… Then as we exhale believe that “I am Enough”. How cool is that… Will be checking your Etsy shop… I’ve got to get her one of these potholders… Rebecca”

I believe my I Am Enough Potholders speak for themselves.  And I know they’re speaking directly to people because I’ve gotten a couple of messages similar to Rebecca’s.

I Am Enough Potholders

While I was writing a piece on my blog the other day, I realized that the first and last time I made I Am Enough Potholders was years ago.  So I decided to make more.  I wanted these potholders to be as bold and direct as the words themselves.

I stitched the words then colored them in with permanent marker.  I’ll have these all done and for sale in my Etsy Shop early next week.

I Am Enough, In The Music Room And The Garden

My I Am Enough Poster hanging on the music room wall at Bishop Maginn   Catholic School.

I was surprised and delighted  to see my I Am Enough poster hanging under a crucifix and next to the posters and origami butterflies, made by some of the students, in the new Music Room at Bishop Maginn Catholic School.  

(click here to see and hear a student at Bishop Maginn playing a keyboard, just donated by The Army of Good, in the new music room)

The message is an important one and it seems to speak to people of all ages and places.

Jill, from New Mexico, wrote to let me know she was buying my I Am Enough postcards to give to her friends who were making fun of her.

Jill’s take a nine day stay-cation to do some major projects around her house like…  “repairing a fence, spreading about 2000 pounds of compost…, moving the last 4 tons of gravel that need to go on the garden paths, etc.”

Her friends say she can’t do it all alone and should get some help.  Jill knows she can and plans on sending each of her friends an I Am Enough postcard when she gets done.

I love hearing the I Am Enough stories, so many of us have them.  If you have one and like to share it, just leave comment on my blog or you can email me here at [email protected].

“I Am Enough” Vicki’s Story….

I Am Enough poster and postcards for sale in my Etsy Shop.

My I Am Enough posters and postcards are getting out into the world.

Vicki, artist and farmer, from Cluckin’ “A” Critter Farm, bought some of my I Am Enough postcards and sent me this story…

” I was on my way to tractor supply to purchase some new bird waterers and when I pulled up I saw one of the women who worked there loading a pick up full of 50 pound bags of feed while the gentleman who purchased them watched her load it.

At that point I was so happy that I had your cards and I took one out And gave it to that woman.

It made her day and mine too. I hope this email makes you feel as good as it did when I gave that girl your I am  enough postcard, I saw her run to her friend to show her and her friend gave her a high five

 I think I want to get more and keep them in my car just for such occasions.”

I hadn’t thought of my postcards being used in this way, but I love the idea of passing them out to strangers at just the right moment, like Vicki did.

Jon brought some of my posters to Bishop Maginn School, in Albany, where he is raising much needed money for art supplies and the chorus, and gave them out to some of the  students, who he said loved them too.

I’m seeing that it’s not just women my age who get the idea of being “enough” as we are.  It’s young women and men too.

I think this message has a bigger reach than I expected.

My I Am Enough posters are 11×17″ and are $20 including shipping. My 4×6″ I Am Enough postcards are 6 for $12 including shipping.  

You can buy them in my Etsy Shop by clicking here or on the shop Etsy button on the top and bottom of my blog.  

Or you can send a check to Full Moon Fiber Art 2502 State Route 22 Cambridge NY 12816.

I had about 30 posters that were printed on thinner paper by mistake, so yesterday Jon gave some out to the aides at The Mansion.  I never would have thought to do that.   They are mostly young women and I wasn’t sure if they would get the message, but they did.

I was happy with how the posters and the fabric painting turned out, but  to know that these women, who are much younger than me and  have no  knowledge of my work, understood the posters made me think they have a further reach than I would have imagined.

“I Am Enough” Poster and Postcards

I Am Enough Poster

I don’t remember who suggested making my fabric painting, I Am Enough into a poster, but it was a good idea.  (Thank you!)

I asked Sara Kelly to help with the design and she did a great job as usual.  I’m only changing one thing on this version.  I like the lettering, but want it to be solid not mottled.  I feel like there’s enough texture in the fabric painting.

I still have to get the final version from Sara then have the poster printed up.  They’ll be the same size as my Show Your Soul posters, 11×17.  I’m also going to make them into postcards.

I think this is a message that needs to go out into the world.  When we feel good about and accept ourselves for who we are, I believe we will then be able to do good in the world in our own unique ways.
