Many of us have dreams that we don't share.
Quietly keeping them to ourselves.
Watching them come to be
Quietly keeping them to ourselves.
Watching them come to be
or
watching them
sometimes painfully
fade away...
out of our grasp.
I've had a dream for a while.
Versions of it have already come to fruition.
I've had a dream for a while.
Versions of it have already come to fruition.
Opening a magazine and seeing your words.
Your creativity printed before you.
It's an incredible feeling.
That version of my dream was
Your creativity printed before you.
It's an incredible feeling.
That version of my dream was
promoting my dolls and my business.
This new rendering of my dream
involves sharing photos I've taken
around the Farmhouse.
Being brave enough to share
Being brave enough to share
the most quiet thoughts
I've only written for my eyes.
Able to reach back thru time
by reading them again.
Reflections of myself
only shared with
blank pages of journals.
I wanted to make sure to find a magazine that
seemed to fit with the idea in my head
of the finished concept.
Have been thrilled with the magazine I have already
been part of that Stampington &Company publishes.
Thought I'd lean towards another of
their amazing publications for this dream
to come to be.
A number of friends kept sending me messages
and emails about the magazine "Bella Grace"
that Stampington & Company publish.
Began thinking it might be the one
to look deeper into.
In the sharing of this dream and
the desire for this magazine,it was mentioned that
it was difficult to find in my neck of the woods.
{It's a tad pricey and I don't have the extra funds
to splurge at the moment.}
I was second guessing myself
and even the dream.
I thought further down the road
I'd spring for a copy and
be able to hold it in my hands.
See if this truly was the fit that
I was hoping it would be.
Beyond blessed to have people
in my life that wish to see
my dream come to life.
LOOK!
My amazing friend Sandra in Texas contacted me
and said she wasn't taking no for an answer.
She wanted my mailing address so that
she could send me a copy of the magazine.
She believed in this dream of mine.
Bella Grace blew me away!
What an amazing magazine and I may have been thinking
that it was too high priced but
it's so much more then the price.
This isn't a magazine that you casually read
once {maybe twice}and then toss away.
I am guilty already of reading this issue 4 times!
You notice a photo or a quote that you didn't quite take
in fully the last time you read the magazine.
I can see this issue being read so many times I lose count.
The photography is sheer eye candy alone.
Inspiration and fuel for a creative soul.
On their website {and inside the magazine},
it's stated that Bella Grace is a special publication
devoted to discovering magic in the ordinary. Our aim is to
touch the souls of our readers
through beautifully penned stories and
striking photographs that capture
life's beautiful journey.
Embrace imperfection.
Celebrate your messy life.
Shine a spotlight on small,
everyday moments
– they are special,
and they are yours.
YES!
YES!
YES!
This is the magazine that holds
my dream and will bring it full circle
into being.
I am going to:
- read this cover to cover
{again}
- write
- edit and fine tune
- practice with my camera
-look thru the lens of my camera until
my heart shows clearly.
Then be brave enough to submit
something to this incredible magazine.
The next photo of me holding Bella Grace
will be where I'm inside of that issue.
Where a dream has come true.
*****
Trust yourself to dream.
Trust that desire enough to share it.
Share it with those that will fan the flame.
That will encourage you and whisper
their strong belief in you.
With that powerful energy surrounding you,
watch your dream explode into reality
and place you exactly
where you imagined you could be.

I am so happy you feel a connection with the magazine. It's a beautiful publication, and as you said, it's so much more than a magazine. I can't wait to see your work in Bella Grace!
