Honoring Oursevles during the Heart month
This is the month of the heart…personally I think everyday should be about the heart, but we can come back to that thought process later. This has been deemed the month of lovers, the month of chocolates, valentines and red roses. I think that February 14th is a lovely day to celebrate…but on that day and in this month, do you only think of your partner, children, parents…or do you remember and honor yourself. Honoring yourself, a thought that has only come to light in the last couple of years. We are so busy taking care of everyone else, who takes care of us?? Do you pamper yourself, with a walk on the beach by yourself without your cell phone, treat yourself to a massage, a workout, a good cup of coffee with the sun shinning on your face. Do you think your worthy of spoiling yourself?? Do you love and honor yourself enough to take that time just for you, to find you, to love you. (Kunzite and crystal necklace…all about the heart chakra)
Then there is the matter of the heart everyday, do we come from the heart everyday?? Why don’t we do the things for our partners and ourselves everyday?? Has life gotten so hetic that we can’t find 10 minutes in a day to write a note, make the call and say I love you or that you are in my thoughts, to pick a few flowers from the garden or sit outside and watch the moon and the stars and feel the universe for just a few minutes. Yes these are easy things that you can do for yourself and with your partner…and there doesn’t need to be a special day to make those small but intimate things happen. There is one more thing, don’t forget to hug yourself, and look at yourself in the mirror everyday and know that you love yourself and that you are loved…and worthy of love!! In these crazy times, find the time to love those that matter including yourself…many hugs with much love to all…Randi

The Holidays…
Well the holidays are here…and there are so many things that I could be writing about. I could write about people shopping and trying to put the perfect presents under the tree…btw if you are out there shopping please go to the small business owners and local artists in your area. If you do, this will keep help to keep your community growing and thriving!! I could write about the rushing round to get to holiday parties and attending them, preparing the food, cooking in the kitchen, and shopping for just the right outfit. I could write about the fact that this time of year either brings out the best in people or the worst in people. I am not really going to write about any of those.
I am going to write about taking care of yourself. All year long we take care of other people, and we neglect ourselves. I am not talking about becoming selfish, but making sure that you have enough of you so that you can be there for others. We are always there for our friends, family, our bosses and our jobs. When are we there for ourselves?? This is the most stressful time of year, this is when we need to make sure that we have balance. I laugh sometimes when I discuss balance with people. They look at me like I have lost my mind. Balance, where do I make the time to have/find balance?? If there is ever a time of year…this is the time of year to find our balance. If we don’t take care of ourselves then who will?? We can’t be there for our friends and family when we are empty. If you find yourself in a conversation where you can feel it will go wrong, them honor your feelings and get out of the conversation. If you are tired excuse yourslf and go get some rest. Try to eat right and yes, the old drink plenty of water comment is next on the list. These are things that will help your body to try and stay in balance during this stressful time of year. Find something to read or do that is just for you, to remind you that you are special and important. Honor that inner royal person that you so often forget!! With all of these words, no matter what…be kind to your self and remember to love yourself!!
One final note…I will not be at Holiday Hoopla in Gulfport this Saturday or at Horan Park on Sunday, due to a special event over in Orlando. I will however be back next weekend Pass-a-Grille market on Saturday the 17th and Horan Park on Sunday the 18th. Hope to see you all soon, somewhere…wishing you a wonderful season with many hugs an much love to all…

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

Fortune and Gratitudes…
For the last couple of days I have had difficulty figuring out just exactly what I would write about. The hoopla of me turning 50 is now past and I am in the throws of the number. In just a few short weeks I was re-introduced to ego, vanity, self doubt, and trust. These are things that we work on understanding and then with all of our might let go of. Well some of us do anyway. While it was awesome to be the center of attention, the cold hard truth is that I am now 50. My life doesn’t look like I had planned…oops I forgot we shouldn’t steer, because when we do…we get reminded and there goes ego. The vanity was not so easy to re-let go of. Not caring what people think…that is a bit tougher, being an Aquarian, I have always been a peace maker…well I am but not so much anymore. I am happier than I have been in forever…and we have to be comfortable with who we are even if it doesn’t look like we thought it would. Self-doubt, don’t we all have it at some point in our lives, then we get reminded of something that we did to help someone else…or to make someone happy or make them smile or something that allows them to receive…in someway we are fulfilling what it is we came here to do. While we might not understand it, just know that you are on the right road and just continue it as long as you are true to you!! So self doubt…see ya!! Last but not least trust…the toughest, but yet the easiest…trust…do you trust enough?? I have asked for trust and it is coming back to me is spades…and I am grateful for all the teachers that are helping to remind me of this trust…I am so very grateful, and I have trust. Being able to remember these things, letting to of them and having a clean slate is part of what this 50 is about!! I am in fortune and gratitude for all that is occuring. I no longer wonder…I live in joy, bliss and trust…with much to be grateful for everyday!!

Turning 50…What a Path!!
Yeah, yeah, yeah…I am now officially 50 and many of you have heard this for a few days now. Looking back at the last 10 years a great deal has changed…Holy crap has it changed! Ten years ago I was married to a really nice person, but we grew apart…both wanting to be who we were and not loosing ourselves. Sometimes to keep who you are you have to leave…and while that is a very hard decision to make, loosing myself was not an option…and some would tell you I almost did. Then I moved, well yes that comes with divorce, usually and decided to rip up the house I bought and be under construction for 6 months …and once I had happily done all of that…I left a company that I had worked for for 19 years. What was I planning to do… follow my heart and create awesome jewelry…enter www.randibling.com. Now to add to all of this I have also gone back to school to learn energy healing. With all of this comes some sort of growth or insanity…I will personally go with growth and who ever said don’t do all the stressful things at one time…really I say just rip the damn bandage off!! I guess what I am trying to say…if you are on the fence about something, just do it! For those of you that have been in my life for the last years…I am blessed to have you. Thank you for all of your support, friendship and love!! many hugs with much love to you all…
