Big day yesterday. History was made in my glorious home state of Minnesota. Love is stronger than government. I'm proud of what we did, I'm proud to be a Minnesotan. I chose to wear purple today as a symbol of pride, in celebration for many of my good friends and hope for what this could mean going forward.
Beyond that, while I'm happy with the outcomes, I'm happy the election is over! No more ugly ads on TV. Probably some grumbling and debate on social media for a few more days and then we'll move on. At least I hope so. Love is stronger than hate.
Speaking of love, how much do I love my new blog layout designed by the fantastic Laura Go? She did a wonderful job, thanks for all the compliments so far - she deserves all the credit. I could not be happier with how this turned out. THANK YOU to Laura!!

I know that there are people who are hurting today because the election didn't go the way they wanted. I respect that. I hope you all can respect my happiness. In a spirit of peace as we move forward, I am leaving you with a quote from Jim Henson that was read at his memorial service in 1990, it seems very appropriate today.
Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody.
It's a good life, enjoy it. - Jim Henson
I love that quote, I love your outfit (especially the skirt!), and I love out state this morning! <3

ReplyDeleteLoving all the plaid for fall! This skirt really looks great on you. Your necklace is so, so pretty! And ahhhh Coach bags, why are they so amazing? Love this one you found here. I really need to get someone who knows what they are doing to give me a blog redesign, I seriously know SO LITTLE about the html whatever...haha. Your blog looks fantastic! Love the logo she gave you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I highly recommend Laura - she is awesome to work with!
DeleteI like the new layout. I'm proud of MN, and I'm hoping we can go even farther and legalize same-sex marriage soon.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both!
DeleteLove that quote! I definitely hope the grumbling subsides soon, because I am getting seriously sick of all the finger-pointing and complaining. On a lighter note, your new layout is cute :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the election - I'm glad that it is overwith. Very cute outfit today! I love that skirt.
ReplyDeleteSince I have no idea what you're talking about in MN...um, congratulations?

cute skirt! I'm happy that the election is over too because even though I am Canadian we still get so much US news here as half of our channel is US!
ReplyDeleteI love your plaid skirt with the purple skirt. I'm not going to say too much on politics, but I will say congrats to MN. I wish Tennessee wasn't so ass-backwards.

Beautiful outfit! I have a skirt I thrifted that is very similar- I bought it to reconstruct but now I'm thinking we should be skirt twins. :-)
ReplyDeleteJim Henson has the best words of wisdom.
Do it! I love plaid skirts!!
DeleteAnd yes, Jim Henson is awesome - I'm a big Muppet fan. :)
Love your new blog layout! Laura did an amazing job :) You handbag goes so well with your skirt. Great look Beth!
ReplyDeleteYay, Minnesota!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you wholeheartedly. You should be proud. Even though I live in a "red" state, I'm proud of everyone who got out to vote. I am personally ecstatic with the results of the election, and I'm also grateful to be able to put it behind now and work with the folks here who don't necessarily view it the same way. (Like most of my neighbors!) It's time to work with love, not fear.
ReplyDeleteI already told you I loved loved loved your new blog design! and I love this skirt on you!!!! The quote is awesome too.
ReplyDeletelotsa love today :)
