Moments of Clarity

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley

It's funny how some moments in lifecan make you stop in your tracksand see things in a different perspective.

After over ten years of ownershipwe sold our beloved Airstream this weekend.
As much as we loved itwe used it so infrequentlywe just couldn't on any level justify the cost.
So it now lives in a most beautiful part of Santa Monicaopening a brand new chapter  with it's new owner …

as Jeff and I close a chapter of our own.

The finality of closing our Airstream chapterreiterates againhow our child rearing chapters are truly  closed.

And I realized this weekendI have spent so much time pining over each child as they have  grown and flownthat I have never truly looked forward …

to put together a vivid plan for this second half with Jeff and I.

All of a sudden there is a lightness with the future possibilities.

Jeff and I have made it through some rocky times
as parenting can be hard on a marriage.We have  come out the other endstill togetherwitha whole future in front of us.

This weekend offered me some momentsof clarityregarding my future.
It hit me that in 9 short years I will be 65.In fifteen I will be 71.
Ages and numbersI really haven't thought through at all.Andit all seems to be going so very fast.

But I do know it ismy intent isto live them fully and passionately.
So I will put even more focus on
health and longevity.

It's kind of a beautiful thingto look towards a futurethat is yet to be scripted …
Especially knowing I get to still  hold closemy loves ... 

while I reach out forthe best of what is to be.I will make agingand my next chapters my Art.
I will head into growing olderwith courage, passion and graceful intent.

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