    About this ebook

    This book, Ms. Good-Enough, is a book written to enlighten every female fortunate enough to be a member of this gender class. The author, Valerie Marie Gregory, looks to jar every female into the reality that she is not a diamond in the rough. But rather, she is a jewel that has not even been discovered yet. No two females are the same. How rare is that? The problem is most females dont realize it and even worse despise or dislike themselves. Well the pity party and victim mentality has got to go. After reading this book you will have no more excuses to not be all you can be. So if you dont want to hear the truth about yourself, dont read this book. If you do want to know the truth and want to walk in that truth, read on. The author admits she had to take this journey and it took years for her to see herself in the right light. It doesnt have to take years to feel good about being you. All you have to do is accept and embrace your own specialness.The authorgives hope to all females because she not only knows how they feel; she realizes that they cant afford to stay that way. Choose today to begin again and vow to never apologize for doing so

    Author

    Valerie Gregory Ed. D.

    The author, Valerie Marie Gregory, is a doctor of education, practicing as a psychological examiner.  She is also the author of “The Me in We” and “Understand Him and Keep Him.”  “Ms. Good-Enough” her latest book is dedicated to every female in all her glory.  Her aim is to help every female rediscover her beautiful wonderfulness.  After years of working in the field of psychology, with both youths and adults, the author concluded that most females have loss their sense of self, identity and true self worth.  She felt compelled to write a book to these women who need to rethink, what every woman must realize about herself.  Which is, her value is without measure and she needs to starting treating herself as such.   The focus of this work is to enlighten every female that her not realizing her true value cheats herself and the world of a divinely unique creature.  The title was meant to jar every female that where ever she is in life, she is GOOD-ENOUGH.  Most women all of their lives struggle with this thought.  Most women think there is something about themselves that doesn’t measure up and she deserves less.  So this book is to proclaim to all females, you are indeed GOOD-ENOUGH and only accept what you truly deserve.  Which is the best.  I learned this lesson from a kindergarten student and have never looked back.  My hope is after you read this book you will never look back either.

      Introduction

      This book is written to enlighten every female fortunate to be a member of this gender class. Do you realize how many sperm cells are released to determine the sex of every child and they all start out as female. However, only one prevailed to bless you with the crown of femininity. At work one day I was sitting at my desk and one of the students in the hall called out to his teacher, Ms. Goodenough. A bell went off in my head. He kept calling her until she responded. It was like God was saying to me, All women are Good-Enough. It’s ironic the teacher referenced was engaged to be married and was looking forward to getting her name changed. I talked with her later to say, even when her name changed, always remember she was Good Enough. Before getting married and would always be.

      At this same school, I was responsible for psychological evaluations of the student body. One of the males referred for evaluation was a nine year-old third grade student. Before every evaluation, I try to get to know the child and build rapport with them. This particular male was very pleasant and open to conversation. As our talk progressed he told me, I bet there is something I do you don’t think, I do. Of course I asked him what was that. He said, I date. That jarred my imagination. I asked him to explain. And he went on to say he liked a girl he had known since kindergarten. As he continued the list grew to another three girls all of which were in the third grade. Then he added he liked the sister of one of these girls, and she was in fifth grade. He had been referred because since the beginning of that school year he had been acting out and the teacher was not sure why. He was being sent to in school suspension and was due to see a physician. In a matter of a few minutes just talking to him, I found out that going to in school suspension gave him the opportunity to see these girls. Of course, I had to go and check out who these girls were. I couldn’t believe what I saw. The first girl mentioned was of his same ethnicity, the other three were of another ethnicity. And the sister of the first girl was his same ethnicity. I mentioned all
