I’m in Love

Have you ever fallen in love with a magazine? In the past when I went to Cape Cod with my sisters I discovered a magazine La Vie Clair. The quality of the magazine was only rivaled by the quality of the paper it was printed on. Just touching it gave me a thrill. The photography was splendid with quotes and articles on living a good, full and rich life. I tried to get every back issue I could and subscribed immediately. Unfortunately that magazine went out of print.

   I feel the same way about Southern Lady. Even though I don’t live in the South I was born there and maybe it was my roots or just my love of good recipes and stories that led me to continue my subscription every year.

 

  But today I made a new discovery.










Are you familiar with Bella Grace? I had never seen it before although this is the ninth issue. I was in Michael’s craft store today buying more acrylic paint and noticed it on the magazine stand by the register. Immediately my eye was drawn to the cover.  56 Ways to boost your Mood….Creating Sacred Spaces….23 things it took me 23 years to learn.  I was intrigued. And then I picked it up. It was hefty and the soft cover was thick and textured. Love! It went in my cart.






When I opened the inside it took my breath away. The paper was thick and the photography just lovely. All of the articles were uplifting. The premise of the whole magazine was to create beauty in words and pictures. “We knew there were people out there who would appreciate these tiny but significant parts of our lives, and we knew they wanted to share their own moments.”  The whole magazine is founded on readers sharing their stories and there is a place in the back with submission information. There are quotes from writers:







….and it is interactive with places where you can write in the magazine yourself like a little journal.



Now I will be looking to find out how I can get all eight previous issues. If you love the little things in life you will love this magazine.
