Upworthy Voices: Cathy Caplener tells the world "You Are Enough"

Towering above a cluster of one-story shops on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach, the sign stands as tall as the nearby palm trees.
With bold white letters on a deep blue, the words say, simply: YOU ARE ENOUGH.
There is no tagline or hashtag. No website link or Twitter handle. Just those words.
“Anyone driving by is going to see it, even if it’s for a millisecond,” said Cathy Caplener, the 56-year-old Redondo Beach woman who has been working since September to raise money to get the billboard up.
“Those words are going to hit people in one way or another,” she said. “How often does that happen when you look at a billboard?”
While most billboards are advertisements for products - Buy this! Do this! Want this! - all Caplener wants to broadcast, she said, is hope.
“What it’s saying is, ‘You are OK right now. You are enough right now,’” she said. “There are a lot of people out there needing help, needing that hug, and needing to feel connected.
“Hopefully,” she added, “this is going to bring people together.”
