Introducing BS 4.0
#1 At Disneyland California, May 2014.
Hello BS-ers,
How have you been? I'm enjoying the Labor Day holiday weekend here in San Francisco with Chean and Chloe so far. Ya, every "labor" in the United States deserves a break, that's including full-time stay-at-home mom like me! lol... Btw, I got up at 12pm today, 千金难买自然醒呐!!! Oh man, I feel so fresh and recharged.
As you already noticed, BS finally got a N.E.W makeover! After going through numerous trials and errors and multiple attempts on mitigating minor hiccups and setbacks, I eventually decided to cut myself some slacks and also make my non-programmer life easier (I hate coding)... So... I purchased the blog's template and paid for the design that I prefer!!! I fully surrendered honestly. But the money was well-spent, I just couldn't be happier and am totally in love with the new look because it best represents my current state of mind and my life--The Joy of Motherhood in Full Bloom ❤❤
I'm just so glad that I'm able to jive smoother and better with the rhythm of life in this big city rather than letting it go all over me with a sense of helplessness... I'm also extremely grateful that I'm able to be the person/mom that I've always wanted to be for my daughter (with continual effort of course and still working hard on this every single day like a hardcore palestrato hitting the gym daily) and witness her childhood unfold in front of my very own eyes. This kind of happiness is purely beyond words and most importantly, I enjoy my days being a full-time mom so much that I can't imagine myself doing anything else at this particular moment (well, blogging doesn't count). I feel like the sun is finally shinning on me after all the countless rainy days, at last I have gained back the motivation to love myself more, to take care of myself more, to have the courage to move forward in life... It's really not easy when you're a mom, trust me...
I'm not just happy, I'm contended and thankful :)

And just before my scatterbrain decided to stop functioning, the latest BS 4.0 design is actually inspired by one of my favorite poems by an Indian Poet Tagore:
"Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves." - Rabindranath
生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。——泰戈尔。
I hope that you've also been enjoying the posts over here, we're all together on our journey to experience this life in full bloom, at some point, to some extent... Motherhood, and in fact life, is often a journey of waking up and discovering self. I'm so thankful for you, I really mean it, for following every single words on BS and for witnessing every life-changing moments with me, and this time, you see me morph into a real woman, a happy one indeed :D
XOXO,
Bev
