Dear Beverly Jo

Alexandra wrote a beautiful post a couple of weeks ago about her lovely and fashionable grandmother. It was the first time in far too long that I actually paused my busy life to just reflect on my belated grandmother and how much I love and admire her.

Certainly, our whole family admired her caring spirit, her perseverance in all things, and her good nature. But lately I have been thinking about her self assurance and charisma. I pinned up a couple of her old snapshots in my cube at work to remind me in times of self doubt that I am as strong as I believe. It's true. Confidence is part of her legacy, and I shall make it mine too. And it all starts this swimsuit season. :)

    Grandma’s styles, in both personality & fashion, can be so inspiring. Yours looks like a confident beauty–the best possible kind.

    This is a great post – I love looking back at people I know back in the day – they often seem like different people, yet you know the younger spirit is still in the person you know today!
    She looks like a cool grandma :)
