The Returning Place is somewhere in my soul...let me tell you about it.  The roses and peonies glow, so vibrant, smiling as if to say, "Welcome back!"  The breeze is gentle and light on my face, the caress so relaxing - I feel better already.  Strolling along a path so winding, never knowing what beauty will reveal itself, I begin to sing.  My song is one of connection, one of peace and joy...and of course, in this place to which I so often return, I can actually sing!  Each of us have this place, this garden of recovery...may you visit yours soon!

I couldn't wait to share the big surprise I received when visiting my Dad in Georgetown.  I picked up the Georgetown Living magazine and not only found an article about a friend who is a Texas author  having huge success on the national literary stage...but how wonderful to see that, in her photo, she was wearing the pendant I designed for her!  Thank you Sylvia Dickey Smith!  www.sylviadickeysmith.com

Introducing Anastasia!

Hiding

Joy has been playing hide and seek with me lately. She is my elusive muse...have you seen her? Here I sit, ready to create.....hmmmmm. Maybe she is outside on the patio or down by the river? Walking the banks of the Concho, I open a cerebral file drawer labeled "Rivers". Suddenly, I discover Anastasia strolling beside the Danube, listening to blue waters dance their way to the Black Sea. Why, Joy!......There you are! Now I am ready to create....and her name will be Anastasia!

Woven Miracles

American Chief Seattle tells us, "Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.  Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."

Each morning, I ask God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, my Spirit Guides and my Guardian Angel(s) to help me weave miracles knowing full well that I may never know exactly what outcomes I have created. If my vantage point was omnicient, I might truly see how connected we humans are.  This web of life is exciting - at least I think it is - when even the smallest kindness shown can span the globe one strand at a time.

I am thankful for you, my closely woven "miracle friends"!

Happily Ever After

...and just what, I ask you, is the definition of "happily ever after"?   I have come to believe that this moment, this second that is before me, is to be celebrated - that life is made up of timeless moments.  When I walked on the treadmill yesterday, was I doing that in the past?  No way!  I walked it in the only "time" I have - the present.  The challenge for me is to stay here...to stay present...to be exquisitely conscious of every breath, every sound, scent, sight, movement and feeling...to be "happily ever NOW"!

My first collection for 2012, Once Upon A Time, (click on pendant at top of blog) represents all that is mystical, magical and beautiful about fairy tales.  The innocence, sweetness, danger, love and triumph that mark the lives of many great women I have known are reflected in these pieces.  May we always see life through prisms of wonder...Enjoy!
