September 19, 2013 – The Beauty Near Me

#beautynearme #thebeautynearme

The discipline of seeing beauty changes us emotionally, physically & spiritually. Being a “beauty finder” enriches. It’s a way of life.

It’s not as physically demanding as it used to be, being the mother of five (ages 18 to 25), who have all “flown the coop”. I’ve had the joy of welcoming a son-in-law and daughter-in-law and now 2 grandbabies into my heart. I feel rich beyond words. Yes, we have our issues and hurdles like the rest, but I think “beauty finding”, within & without is a worthy calling.

My husband and I are RV nomads now, spanning our time in MO, GA, FL and CO. Talk about beauty?!?! We enjoy the beautiful trails, mountain sunsets and open prairie in CO. (And our youngest daughter is there). We love spending time with the children and grands in MO. And being from GA originally, I always find myself recognizing a scent, a red clay hue in GA. Some things seep into your soul for life. We lived in FL for the majority of our married life. (My parents are in the panhandle). So yes, the beach is ALWAYS calling my name!

I believe in the goodness of people and people represent the most extravagant beauty I EVER see. I’m thinking/looking/seeking out loud so we can “learn” to see beauty in every little place. I’ll do reviews, adventure and ruminate, pointing out what I see along the way. We are BEAUTY-FINDERS on a mission to impact the world with all that is good and within us and around us!

Feel free to to contact me with your thoughts and product review ideas.

I’d love to chat

The Journey of Grief

I think I should say up front that I am not an expert on grieving.[...]

The search for beauty within us and around us has it's own cathartic qualities Never underestimate what possibilities await while in pursuit
