Not Young, Thin Or Rich ...

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley


I am still drawn to changing the name of my blog to
Not Young, Thin, or Rich
and 
Still Living a Wonderful Life
I wrote about the idea first HERE
I have to remind myself of this often recently.

Blogging and Instagram can be a tricky businessat least for me sometimesunless I focus on my own truths and gifts.
Some days it can be too easyto be swept up in the winds of comparisonsand lose  sight of  my own true path and vision.

So I must intentionally  refocus my framework
and
 remind myself
as much as I love and enjoy my creative pursuits
I will always step back from blogging or 'branding'
for family.
Family for me is always first.
So I give myself Grace
when I don't feel as accomplished as I would like some days
(or recently months).
I remind myself how blessed I am to have the opportunity
to spend time focusing on family when needed.

But the best thing I do for myself
is remembering toCrown Myselfand not be in the aimless search for outside validation.
When I do
I feel my soul start to calmin the knowing we are all blessed with our very own gifts, truthsand life paths.
I can feel my life blood of creativity return.

I remind myself I truly have no desire to be youngerbecause I am in love with the person age and wisdom have honed me into.
A soul much more loving and able to give grace not just to others,but myself as well.I am more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have been.

I often have to remind myself to see the beauty in this body that is mine.It is a strong healthy bodythat birthed three wonderful souls.I daily have to train my mind to focus on how grateful I am to have a body that still serves me welland
'let go' of some archaic inner voices of my pastthat try to suck the joy from my day by endlessly focusing on imperfections.
It is an inner monolog that never serves.

Lastly I remind myself to take time for Gratitudeeach and every day.
Gratitude for the person I have become
and
for the life I have the opportunity to lead.
I am all good with not being
Young, Thin or Rich.
Because I have truly learned to
Crown Myself.

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