My friend and fellow blogger, Tamera Beardsley is not only an accomplished jewelry designer, but also a woman who inspires others with her talents and messages. She has begun a new celebration of women called CROWN YOURSELF, and it is another way to say I MATTER. Here is today’s post in Tamera’s words:
“I am Tamera Beardsley and have both a life style blog and accessory line of the same name. After raising my three children, it was writing my blog that helped me reinvent myself and reconnect with my initial career in designing fashion accessories. Over the past several years I have realized the importance not only of self acceptance and self care … but even more so … the importance of celebrating our own souls … and what makes us each unique in our own way. I call this celebration of self … Crown Yourself!
Crown Yourself is a mission I have taken up this year … to help remind ourselves … to take the time to celebrate the magic and uniqueness that resides inside each of us. Crown Yourself is a literal and figurative reminder of our own intrinsic worth … the unique soul that resides insides each of us.
I have learned from the personal experience of being on this planet for 55 years … the more I can validate and accept myself with grace and kindness, celebrate my own unique soul and in doing so … Crown Myself … the more I can do this for others. The better care I take of myself … the more I have to offer others.
I have recently been designing not only literal crowns … but Crown Yourself bracelets as well! Realizing not everyone is comfortable with a literal crown, I have recently introduced bracelets that are a perfect reminder to Crown Yourself! The bracelets are made from howlite stone beads. Howlite is believed by many to reduce stress and anxiety. Each bracelet is finished off with a three dimensional crown … the perfect reminder to Crown Yourself … or even Crown A Friend!”

Love both yours and Tamera's blog. Not sure if I could ever pull off the look of a crown like Tamera, but certainly would wear the bracelet.
I love the concept (and love that crown!) Karen
Pam thank you ever so much for this beautiful feature, I am very honored to be a part of your I MATTER series. I think the two words you have chosen are so powerful … and can be life changing when truly taken to heart . Thank you for your continual message to invest in ourselves … to find strength, confidence and joy!

I do believe, and also, what lovely bracelets!
What a lovely sentiment and these bring it across. Yes.
Yes! I do believe I matter! (And I need a crown!)
Beautiful jewelry and a beautiful tribute to your friend!
I have been following Tamera for awhile, now, and enjoy her insightful posts. Thank you, and Tamera, for having this wonderful give-away~
Even as a blogger on the "younger" side I love the concept and the jewelry! Pam, your blog is great for all ages!

Your I Matter series is so inspirational to me, and I love Tamera's message. The bracelet is lovely.
Beautiful jewelry and even more beautiful message!
Love the Giveaway. Thanks for letting us know about Crown Yourself.
I would love to wear one of Tamera's crowns on New Year's Eve! I think she is a great stylist and has a terrific eye and her tablescapes have been very inspirational to me since I think I am missing the decorating gene. Thank you for featuring her here! Love to you both. XO, Jill
Tamera is a wonderful person and I can see her outer and inner beauty through all her posts, photos and lovely warmhearted comments! That is indeed the best part of blogging: Meeting wonderful women around the world such as Tamera and yourself, Pam!

Tamera is talented and inspiring! Thank you for featuring her, offering this opportunity for a giveaway and hosting this link-up, Pam. T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
Yes, I do believe.
This is such a beautiful post.
Pam and Tamera,
I just love this I Matter series! And the notion of crowning msyelf? There's nothing that says "I Matter" more than doing the things that make us feel like a queen! More important than the pampering, however, is that notion that we must treat ourselves like royalty if we are to be able to bestow generosity on others! Those bracelets are as amazing!
You are so right, Annah. After I began to take care of myself again at age 50, I was amazed at how much more I could do for others. My desire to help others was invigorated when I began to take better care of myself. I had been having a pity party for a long time and when I stopped, I could focus on the needs of those around me in a healthier way. It is amazing how the two go together.
Love the post and the bracelets are beautiful!
Yes, I believe in the I MATTER and CROWN Yourself Messages. I love your blog. Thanks for the opportunity.
I do believe, and also, what lovely bracelets!
Of course I matter and am unique! Empty nest is highly under-rated!
I think the message is brilliant. As women I think we get trained early to gauge our worth based on how others view us, or by how much we DO for others.
What a great message for all of us! WE DO MATTER 🙂
They are so pretty! I believe:)
