The inspiration for this poem came from a group of birds I happened to see while taking boxes out to a dumpster after work one day. While that probably doesn’t sound “beautiful” on the surface, I hope it can be a reminder that beauty and wonder exist, even in the mundane parts of life. We just have to look for it.✨

Bella Grace magazine is filled with inspiring articles, journal prompts, and captivating quotes, with rich photography that captures everyday magic and moments of beauty. Thick matte pages are filled with whimsy and warmth, evoking the same comfort as a hot cup of tea or conversations with a dear friend.
If you’re in need of a post-winter pick me up or looking to splurge on a little soul care, the Bella Grace Spring issue is on newsstands through May 2022 or available through the Stampington website.
