Oprah's OWN Network

I am so impressed with Oprah's OWN channel! I watched on her super soul sunday this morning an interview with Dr. Wayne Dyer and also a movie with Dr. Dyer called The Shift. It was very inspiring! I would love to attend one of his seminars, he is so enlightening and teaches us that we can be whatever we want to be, that we need to just "let go" and it will happen. It comes from within. He says we as humans should find our passion, it is always within us. It made for a great sunday morning. Thanks Oprah and Dr. Dyer!

Copper OM Necklace in Etsy Treasury

I was featured in a treasury on Etsy last night! This always excites me because my jewelry very important to me and others recognize it, it makes me happy!

Stress Relief

I have been searching all over the internet regarding stress relief because I believe it is so common for so many people these days. The world is always rushing around us, people to please and places to be that we sometimes forget about ourselves. I have come to a place in my life where I feel it is necessary to stop and think about who I am, what makes me happy, what can I do to "stop time" for a moment and relax. I have found that daily meditation really helps me. I am trying to take a few minutes out of ach day to meditate, stop, clear my head, breathe. It really slows my pace and makes me a happier person. Try it for yourself, and you will see too. Namaste.

Metta Prayer

I make many necklaces based on Eastern Spirituality and came across this metta prayer that I think is so sweet and peaceful. I should handstamp this on a disc, it would make for a nice piece of jewelry.

Metta Prayer

May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.

 Metta is the Pali word for lovingkindness, a sense of deep caring for ourselves and all other beings. Like Metta, the Möbius shape has no beginning and no end. A constant reminder to open your heart.

Pearls. Boring or Classy?

I have a new love for pearls lately. I don't know why, but I used to think they were quite "boring" and now I see their true beauty! Pearls have been a fashionable statement forever. I see so many ways pearls can be either strung, with or without crystals added for a little glitz, the simple pearl, the brides beautiful pearl strand. There are so many colors of pearls. My favorite being the champagne colored, but there is blue, pink, orange! and the sizes. Freshwater or cultured? So many ways, colors, sizes. A pearl is a classic!

Bridal thoughts

I recently attended a crystal and bead show here in Missouri. I fell in love with so many beautiful crystals and natural stones! They were from India and China. The ones I purchased are from India. I found pink amethyst, labradorite( I had never even heard of that one) rainbow moonstone(my fave!) rose quartz and more. I am thinking, hmm wedding season is coming up. I need to put my creative cap on and create some gorgeous bridal necklaces and earrings. My question is do most brides like elegant and simple or bold? I am leaning towards elegant and simple but need advice.
