Your authenticity, good intent and loving spirit shine through in this post. I've been fortunate to spend time with you three different occasions and I know your compassion and caring come through in person. I can't imagine you being a 'bitch' ;) but we all have our times. I like your reminders of holding on to ourselves and good intentions even when feeling anxious or emotional. I'll never forget how kind you were to me in our conversation at the Andaz when I was dealing with a mix of emotions from some personal things going on in life. You are a rock and a comfort when you need to be. I've seen it in action. I'm sorry I am unable to join you and the ladies at BlogHer this time due to our family reunion. Tip a toast my way and I'm already looking forward to our next get together. <br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032908426814046368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-1878262587271124372014-07-22T04:34:40.967-07:002014-07-22T04:34:40.967-07:00Thank you for your visit and kind words!Thank you for your visit and kind words!Tamera Beardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855427513744644731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-1352350381032903052014-07-20T16:40:17.301-07:002014-07-20T16:40:17.301-07:00Refreshingly honest post, you are one brave soul T...Refreshingly honest post, you are one brave soul Tamera!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-36938257757688848482014-07-20T09:03:42.276-07:002014-07-20T09:03:42.276-07:00Thank you Jill!

One sip of a fruity drink, however, and all bets are off! <br />You are so right about the "highlight reel."

You are a talented artist with your own unique brand of beauty and style.<br />When it comes to being in big groups of talented women it’s easy to forget who we are. To look around and get distorted. We make comparisons from a distance that over-glamorize others and leave us feeling somehow diminished…an observer of someone else’s shiny spotlight. I haven’t been to a blogging event yet, (although I think I’m ready) but I can relate to this post and your need to give yourself a positive self-talk in order to keep your perspective. Thank you for being so open with your vulnerable feelings and reminding me –and your readers—that we are all a work in progress. I SO appreciate your insight and wisdom on life.<br />I know you’re going to have a great time!<br />xo<br />Leslie<br />Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367872267145012395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-48753780415276428262014-07-19T05:01:21.392-07:002014-07-19T05:01:21.392-07:00I agree with Beth.

I do believe that in everyday life we are sent just what we need through another person. Today you are that person and you have given me a truly sacred moment to sit back and reflect on the words you have written and how they strike home with me. Thanks Tamera.
