Used for many Purposes

Mostly for Pictures

A Beautiful Earring Hanger

Now Broken

Cream & Gold Porcelain

Smashed

I should have saved it

It still would have taken good pictures

But all broken things either need to be fixed

or disposed of

There is no in between

Because what has been shattered

will never come back 

the same way again

There will always be a shard missing

Unseen by the naked eye

Displaced in the force of breaking

That will weaken

Even the most tightly held mending

From the shattering

we are broken open

fragments and pieces

of a beautiful soul

The Heart of the Matter

Heart Shaped Rose Petals taken from a rose that was planted for me with love by the man that has proven himself beyond worthy.  A beautiful symbol to remind us that the seeds we sow in love will bloom with the most beautiful flower.

A New Direction

~*:: Chocolate & Raspberries, $189 at Kasia Blue ::*~

Some say that life cycles in sevens.  Every seven years your cells have fully regnerated and the human body is completely brand new.  Seven is a spiritual number, that is true, yet in the cycles of seven it is five that seems to have my life defined.  Case in point: in the year 2000 I had my first child and started a new job.  Five years later, things changed again with moves, meeting new groups of people, job changes.  Now, again, five years down the road, things are about to take me on a new journey.  I have switched jobs (really, seriously, nearly 5 years to the date).  I will no longer be directing the Handbell Group that I have been with for 5 years.  There is more, of course, but I must keep some things close to my heart.  Suddenly it feels as if so much has fallen away, that burdens have been lifted and doors opened so that I can fill my coffers with new and exciting escapades.  I feel the breeze....and it feels so good.

All that said, my creative side is making a change as well.  My designs are evolving into something more intricate and one of a kind.  Bejeweled, curved and complex (much like me...snicker).  No longer is cookie cutter appealing to me, although my current dedsigns that are simpler can, and will stay in the lineup, you will now be seeing the addition of these more decadent beauties.  Also, with my Body Luxe line, I too will be ramping it up, so to speak, with layered and thoughtful fragrances that speak to your body, mind and spirit.  I have discovered that "one note" is just not me.  That's good, because I have been stuggling to be myself yet trying to please the masses.  And although that may be my business side talking, I still need to find room for the the unique and unusal.  Without that, I will not evolve...or be happy.

Change is good.
