NOTE
Welcome to the November Edition of House of Beverly. This issue is all about appreciation and I'm so excited to share the stories and images that remind us to be grateful. Embrace all parts of your life (even the unexpected ones) . We can't control everything in our lives, but we can learn how to be unconditionally grateful for what we have.
xoxo,

wondering whether I deserve all of this. Why do I get the large Thanksgiving dinner and the gifts beneath the tree? But I soon realized that life is a beautiful thing. It’s not guaranteed and every second should be cherished. I am truly blessed with the body I am in, the family I was placed in, and the friends I made and lost along the way. While you may not realize, there are so many things you can be grateful for..
So I am unapologetically thankful to be me. I am thankful for my fingers and my stomach and my eyes and my knees. Call me cheesy, but I am thankful to be where I am now surrounded by people I love.

LEARNING HOW TO LOVE ROCK BOTTOM
BY : MADISON COCHRAN
You develop coping mechanisms when you need to: when you’re in a fight with a friend, when you’re struggling to reach your academic goals, when life is generally not going your way. I didn’t develop good coping mechanisms until my bad coping mechanisms landed me in treatment for an eating disorder. It was in treatment, which Mental health exists on a spectrum; saying that there are “good days and bad days” is actually an extremely accurate description of what it’s like for me to live with anxiety. There have been extended periods of time where my anxiety has been super low: I talk in class, I go out with my friends, and I’m generally happy. But I’ve also had my fair share of panic attacks in the hallway. In those bad times, I’ve always tended to get angry with myself: why am I letting my mental health get bad again? But now, I’m actually kind of thankful for those times. When do we experience our greatest periods of growth? Unfortunately, we become better people when bad things happen, or when we have to struggle for something; we become stronger after low points for our mental health. You don’t develop coping mechanisms when everyone in your friend group is getting along, your grades are good, and the boy you like just texted you.
I consider to be my lowest point, that I made the most progress. Why? Because in digging ourselves out of a hole, we learn how to stay out of the hole in the first place.So what does all this mean? Take a minute. Think about your “rock bottom.” Feel bad about it for a minute. Yes, it was a dark time. Now think about how you got out of it. Did you learn that listening to music helps you stay calm? You need to set aside time every day to regroup? Did you work on your self-image, or learn how to stop negative thought spirals? Good. Now ask yourself: what would I do if I was struggling again? You would use the coping mechanisms you learned the last time you struggled! So, the next time you hit a rough patch, don’t dwell on how bad the situation seems in that moment. Think about all that you’re going to learn about how to help yourself in the future, because when you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up.

MADAME VICE PRESIDENT
By: Camryn Bryant
I grew up in a world where there weren’t a lot of people who looked like me. When I turned on the television, it was filled with people of lighter skin tones and pointy noses. This is taxing, because it teaches black children that they are growing up in a world that isn’t for them. For me, this changed in 2008 when Barack Obama was elected as President of the United States. Even though I was only five years old, the Obama family was everything to me. It was exhilarating to see a Black family in the White House. I even wrote letters every day to Michelle Obama, telling her how I saw the world through my kindergartener eyes. Knowing that there was a Black family in the highest home in the country made me feel like I could achieve anything. As a child, I dreamed of going to an Ivy League like Michelle and Barack to pursue a career in law. I even aspired to become a part of Congress and forge my own way to the White House. My point is: representation matters. It matters that all children can see versions of themselves in all pathways of life. When I realized that Kamala Harris is going to be the Vice President of the United States, my heart filled with the same joy all over again. I am so excited that brown and black girls can grow up with the knowledge that they too can become Madame Vice President. Politics need to be as representative as the people in its country, and I feel America has again made a giant leap in making that possible.
