Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I too struggle with the “am I enough” fear.

You are enough. What you can and do offer is enough. Take good care of you! ❤️

So glad to hear from you again and thankful you took time for yourself. You are enough and we are fortunate to receive your thoughts and words when they are available. This statement, 'stories are made to create light and freedom not cages of obligation' says so much. You are a blessing.

You are most assuredly, just the right amount!

Every word out of your brain, every thought you share is enough. I have even found myself having trouble keeping up w/ your enough some days. Your enough is a lot and always welcome. You do whatever is enough for you and it will be enough for us.

Peace to you Marcie! I was thinking this January about how wonderful it has been to follow Black Eyed Bible stories for an entire year (and what an amazing thing you created and remained dedicated towards)— and I am so happy to hear you’ll be continuing at a pace that is sustainable, balanced, and joy-filled for you. There‘s liberation in the model you set for us. Happy New Year!

Ayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! I have been deep in conversation with other wonderful creative souls about monetization and worthiness and the agreement is its time. Your words gave voice to something I have been struggling with too. And to be honest your work is priceless. It continues to be a riveting journey, thank you for the privilege to come along. I am taking risks in my life now to live in my purpose and try to understand, remember, hold tight my value. And honestly your work has played a big role in my life. Not a lot of people walking on the road you are charting and this absolutely is an indication of its rarity. I always felt you were doing us a kindness by charging 5. And by writing this today you have done us another. Peace and respect and courage and its a blessing to follow somone who trusts God and shares so honestly

Thank you for leading the way and teaching us all with your example about a healthier self-love and a healthier love of community. I am wrestling with “enough” this year and your beautiful writing today and decision are stepping stones on that path. I love what you write and am looking forward to enjoying it weekly. (And looking up London Ladd’s book!)

You are more than enough. A beautiful creative. Your work is a gift to the world and we will be thankful for any amount.

This new “fewer” posts is actually better for your subscribers, at least for me. I need to sit with your words sometimes and can get overwhelmed when there are a lot of posts because I don’t want to miss them, but I haven’t finished sitting with the last.
