“How utterly vital is it to celebrate the romance in each day. What makes your heart dance? What makes you catch your breath in a surprising gasp? What is there in life that delights and surprises you? What in your life sets a trembling frisson of hope twirling in your soul? Embrace it! Love it! Celebrate it!”

– “Celebrate!” by Jennifer Clawson Farnes, Bella Grace Issue 6

 

Since the debut of Grace Notes, we have embraced perfectly imperfect things and got a glimpse of what it would be like to know Bella Grace if she were a person. Now we are onward to one of the greatest adventures of all: the Grace Notes blog hop!

 

Much like our Bella Grace blog hop hosted on Somerset Place, we have invited soulful writers, photographers, poets, and bloggers to join us all throughout March, April, and the first week of May.To celebrate the launch of Grace Notes, we’re asking our friends to share their own tales of everyday magic through Bella Grace-inspired stories, personal narratives, poetry, photographs, and art. As an extra-special surprise for readers, some of our co-hosts will be giving away a copy of Bella Grace Issue 7, giving our lovely readers even more chances to win their own free issue.
