Chapters end and begin…

Well I am back to blog again…now that my move is complete.  My move was a sad one in some ways, but very happy in others but definitely a learning and growing experience.   I bought the house when my income was very different than it is now, that being said…the stress that went with that income was also very different.  I put a great deal of my love and energy into that home.  If you walked in you knew it was my home…but with the choices to follow my path/dreams…and the land values taking a “nose dive” even more than they had…well yeah the story is one that could be sad. 

 There were the moments of what to do, who am I, what have I done?  Coming from a place/society of owning a home was a must, paying your bills were a must and if you couldn’t what kind of person were you…well they plagued me.  Responsibility, had I lost my mind…but then came the question…who am I supposed to be responsible to??   How about myself…so the choice to sell my house was my best option.  Short sale…oh no…what an ugly word, not today it isn’t.  It is only an ugly sad set of words if you let it be.  The contract was written, the banks approved the offers and the next thing you know the home I had worked on so hard was going to belong to someone else.    There were many surreal moments…then one day the time was here.  I was a week away from closing not knowing where I was going to live…then I found the perfect little place…a cottage closer to the beach than my house had been.  Close to the same size and plenty of room to create my amazing  jewelry.  The new owner of the house I once use to call mine, was tickled to buy the home and will love it as much as I did and that makes me very happy!

I learned a great deal through this process.  That some of the things/ideals we grew up with are not necessarily best for us.   That we need to be responsible for ourselves and our happiness.  That trusting is a gift and that you can either see the wine glass half  full or half empty…I always knew it was full…it was just a question of was it red or white!!

Speaking of gifts…I chose this fabulous coral and crystal necklace with Hilltribe silver as my feature piece because coral is a gift from the sea!!  (Not on the site yet, contact me for more info on this piece).  Many hugs with much love to all…Randi

And yes we all are changing…

It’s been a few weeks since I have posted a blog.  It seems as if things are changing, the world is changing, and many people I know are going through changes…myself included.  Most of the time we find ourselves afraid of change.  If I am honest about this, it has not been one of my favorite things to do, but then I seem to do a great deal of it…lol.  The question is…do we bring these changes on ourselves??  Or do we just wait and they come at us like a bowling ball down the lane headed for the pins.  In the tarot deck…the tower card represents change…a hitting you over the head change if the card comes to you up in a reading upright and if reversed more along the lines of we are helping these changes to occur.  One thing I do know…we need to take care of ourselves during these changes.  We need to be kind to ourselves, and to remember that what ever the change…there is a reason.  We might not know the reason yet, but never the less there is one.  I choose this rhodochrosite bracelet because it reminds us to love ourselves…so through your times of change…remember to love yourself…be kind to yourself and see the changes as things to bring you to a more better and kinder place.  Good luck with whatever in your world is changing…and I send many hugs with much love to you all…~Randi

Kindness to ourselves…

The last couple of days have been very interesting…actually the year has been very interesting!!  Some of us barely made it through last year, one could say crawling out of it on our bellies.  Well we are now 6 weeks into 2011…WOW!!  I am one of those that really had to come through last year looking at where I had been and where I am going.  We really are what we want, and our words…they are a powerful tool…not to mention our thoughts!!  Our past is our past, and the future has not been written, and when we try to write it, well it might not turn out exactly how we thought it would.  All of that being said, let me tell you…being kind to yourself is the most valuable tool in being what you want to be. 

At the ripe young age of 50, I am finally figuring out all of this.  Lately the smile on my face has been huge…some would say that I am in love, some would say that my stress levels are down…some would just wonder…what am I up to??   Well let me tell you, my heart is happy because I am finally easy on myself, love who I am and what I am doing.  I am going to school, learning my new business and creating amazing jewelry.  We are what we want to be!!    I get to create beautiful pieces of jewelry and they get shown at all sorts of events.  I get to share them with lots of people and they create happiness to those who see them and take them home.    In all of this what I am learning is,   be kind to yourself and be what you want to be and do what you love to do and all the rest of it will come to you!!   I can also say that amazing friends will help you because they will remind you to be kind to yourself!   If you have the vision to do it and are not afraid of what you want to accomplish…  Yes you can be what you really want to be…!!    many hugs with much love…~Randi
