\u201cI believe in magic. Subtle, everyday magic. Each morning before I give myself a chance to to doubt otherwise, I smile knowing that this day is laced with wonders, and it’s my plan to focus on finding them.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I started working on the Grace Notes Blog Hop in March, I was a beginner to the process. It\u00a0was my first time coordinating anything like this and truth be told, I was a little nervous. I wanted this blog hop to be just as inspirational as the Bella Grace<\/em> Blog Hop<\/a><\/span> hosted on Somerset Place. I also wanted to have it be reflective of the kinds of heartfelt narratives found in the pages of Bella Grace<\/em>, and to showcase the fantastic stories that readers could discover within\u00a0Grace Notes. In retrospect, I didn’t need to be nervous. There was an indescribable kind of magic in the air that I trusted to guide me. By believing in that magic, I knew this blog hop was going to turn into something very special.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before I knew it, we had 26 soulful bloggers, writers, photographers, and poets on board to share their own tales of everyday magic through Bella Grace<\/em>-inspired stories, personal narratives, and photographs. These talented storytellers took us on a thoughtful journey, taking the A train to magic<\/a><\/span> and exploring new places full of wonder that were somewhere over the rainbow<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our co-hosts paused to discover joy in simple, everyday practices like the love of laundry<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0writing<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0and the ritual of tea<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0We read musings on the power of keeping a promise<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and fearlessly embracing big changes<\/a><\/span>. And much like the everyday magic you would find within the pages of Bella Grace<\/em>, they shared tales of discovering your wings<\/a><\/span>, quiet confidence<\/a><\/span>, and how life is in the lyrics<\/a><\/span> of a great song.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve only shared a handful of the magic from our co-hosts, but if you missed out on savoring the comfort, beauty, and inspiration, take a moment to go back<\/a><\/span> and dive into a world of original, encouraging posts that are now a part of our Grace Notes adventure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

None of this would have been possible without our brilliant co-hosts, so thank you to each and every one who participated.\u00a0Thank you for sharing your words, images, and hearts with us and the Bella Grace<\/em>\u00a0and Grace Notes communities.<\/p>\n
