Christmas 2021 Reflections

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley

It's  Christmas reflection time for me.

When I like to gather all my favorite images

and

 memories of my 

Christmas Season.

To hold them tight in my heart.






 






This has been Jeff's project for the last few months.We are adding some beautiful storage to our side yard.We have been storing seasonal decor off site for almost 20 years.It was time to bring it all home.Jeff even added some temporary decor while he finished the build.

This year's  newest room got some Christmas magic as well!







We were invited on the sweetest Holiday Sunset Cruise!






I added a Christmas Suitto my holiday wardrobe this yearand it did everything I was hoping it would!


Besides dressing it upI styled it with tennies and a backpackIt worked perfectly for Christmas Day at the Zoo as well!

Paired the pants with my neutrals and signature necklace!

The suits pieces will be a classic in my Holiday Wardrobe for years to come!

I also added a red tulle skirt this season!





Spending quality time with my brother was a holiday highlight.

Jeff and I decorated the grave site.Our visits were quite comforting this year.

Our Christmas Eve family dinnerwas everything I was hoping for this year.




Spending time with these twois always the best!

We changed things up this yearand didChristmas Day at the San Diego Zoo!
I have become such a proponent of New Traditions 

New traditions bring such a lightnessand new perspectives!Embracing and Celebratingthe Life that is here now!

I was actually afraid of Christmas this yearwith so many missing.I was afraid I would completely unraveland ruin Christmas for those I love.
So I made an Intention Everydayto really focus on the Good Before Me
Letting go of Comparingthis Christmas to years past.Not  to focus on what wasn't there.instead ...
Letting little miracles and momentsunfold in front of mewith a heart full of so Much Gratitude.
I am wise enough to knowno season is promised to us.
 I know life is short.
It is my intention to appreciate, savor and enjoyit all.

My heart is full.



As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
