If I could have a word,
I’d tell you that you’re beautiful,
that you are loved,
and, most importantly, that you are enough.
I’d tell you that the stories you tell yourself are nearly all wrong.
The real story is that you are beloved, made in the divine image of God,
and all the other stories that don’t start with that truth are mere fiction.
What if you believed?
I don’t mean in God, because I think you do,
But what if you believed in you?

A Word is a semi-regular newsletter full of things that may help.
Sometimes there’ll be an essay written by me, there will be links to other things that may be helpful because they are funny, or poignant, or who knows what. We’ll see.
I can assure you there is no judgment here.
I can also assure you that I exist between absolute disaster and barely put together. I’m a mess, but at this age, I embrace it. I’m learning that I’m enough. I hope you’ll join me in learning that you are, too.

Beth
