Cycles

"Those who can't remember the past are doomed to repeat it " ~ George Santayana ( 1863 - 1952)

No matter how I try, this time of year always imposes on my creative time. The chi is blocked till Uncle Sam has his due. Then perhaps the chi can flow once again like a beautiful river.

Learning

"Teach us the road to travel and we will not depart from it forever" ~Satank~ Kiowa chief 1871

Today 140 years later there is a challenge to not only find the path to your genuine self but to remain steadfast. There are so many distractions from the music of the spheres.

Valentine's Collection

This week I will be listing the valentine's collection, with genuine American Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, amethyst,kyanite ovals, green onyx briolettes, opaque rubies, white topaz, fine silver bead accents and sterling heart charms. Ear wires are sterling and may be changed out for your preference.

Blizzard Part Deux

Here we go again. We have had dinner plate size snow falling out of the sky , ok maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration but at any rate 3 hours and 7 inches later it is still falling .




I have been officially busted. Yes those are Christmas lights on my tree. An old tradition. Leave them up till you get arrested by the neighborhood association.



So all is cozy , the fur balls are curled up next to the fire, and the lights are flickering as the limbs get heavy and lean on the power lines. Thank goodness for wood heat. We will see how things are in the morning . For now I am out to "mess" up the snow and gently unburden the limbs so they don't break , humming a few barrs of "MacArthur's Park" and all that sweet cream icing melting ; )

Abundance

Today has come to a close with the upwelling of abundance and contentment. To live in the moment and simply be present, easy to say but sometimes a challenge, at this moment a reality .

"Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time." ~ C.S. Lewis

Hope

Life breathes in and out. It has cycles and rhythms, Day and Night, the seasons, yin and yang. Yesterday was a giant breath of Hope. The entire day simply reverberated in this feeling. It was so refreshing , a new spirit washing over me like spring water cascading from a waterfall.

Posting today a necklace that will be donated for silent auction for a children's charity soon. It is hand wired 22 gauge sterling and Nacozari stablelized nuggets. Accents of sleeping beauty rondels. Sterling heart made by hand in the Rockies. The stones have not been dyed. This necklace is also available by request.
