Hello Gratitude

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley

I was most excited this week to meet the fabulous La Contessaof theAntique Hen House blogin person when she traveled down south!
Never have I meant anybody who I share such a similar aestheticand love of larger than life style!
When people speak of true connections being made through bloggingtrust me it is so true!To be able to find like minded souls all around the worldis one of the  true gifts of blogging!

Speaking of around the worldI was most honored this week to be on the cover and a featured Skimbaour inside  of thebeautiful Skimbaco online magazine produced in Sweden.
Katja of Skimbaconot only produces the magazinebut also the beautiful Skimbacco Lifestyle site as well.
Katja's mission is to inspire
all of us to life life to the fullest
a sentiment I couldn't be more in line with!
I became familiar with Skimbacowhen my dear friend Adreinne of The Rich Life On A Budget
joined the Skimbaco teamto write the fashion articles for Skimbaco!

Speaking of Adrienne ..I am so excited and grateful for my upcoming trip to Napathat dear Adrienne has arrangedApril 15th will be here before I know it
and I can't wait!

I have been busy this week here at homebeginning the change out of  my home decorfor my summer styling.I am most excitedthat I have been contactedby a fabulous magazinewho is interested in shooting mylittle abodefor publication!Just the motivation we needed hereto finish/ begin some home reno projects!

As I reflect on my gratitude this weekI realize just how very much my life has been touchedand enrichedby this here little blog.

As wonderful as the external benefits of blogging I have received areand believe memy heart is most gratefulfor each and everyone ...
The truest most important gift I have gainedby writing The Blog I Want To Readis a better understandingand acceptance
 of myself.
Since this bloghas ended up being as much of anonline journalas it is a place to share my love of all things styleI have had much opportunityover the last two plus years to reflect on my lifepast, present and future.
Next week I will be sharingpart five of my series
Write the Blog You Want To Read
withWhat I Have Personally Learned By Blogging
This part five is the most personal writing I have done yet …and thus the hardest to publish …but I know by nowthat is exactly the point  where the greatest  personal growth can occur.

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