Calm Blue Ocean…

Well it seems to be time to write again…and I must admit, the last couple of days have been interesting for everyone I know.   With all of this moon energy, the eclispe and just a shift in lots of everything…I head to the beach to walk.  I find peace and solice there, and if not peace then atleast a moment or two where the waves drown out the thoughts roaming in my head and the sun fills  my soul.   For myself personally these past couple of days have been  a time of looking and reflecting and yep, growth once again.   Asking myself, what is it that I really want.  You would think with all of the asking and searching that I have been doing…I would find the answers…well I believe that I did (atleast for this moment in my Aquarian life).   I found that I want peace and harmony and at all costs.   I found that I truly want to honor myself and not settle for anything because I am worth it.  I found that whether  I am with a special person in my life or without that the person that I have to be honest and gentile to is myself.  We are so hard on ourselves at times, hearing the tapes of our past …did we do the right thing, what will they think…yada yada yada…well I ask you WHO gives a rats ass what anyone thinks…other than yourself.    And those tapes, they were put there by someone who either really didn’t love us or was jealous of us…so with this moon I say get rid of those damn tapes!!    So in honor of those many walks on the beach that I have been taking…I named this new piece “Calm Blue Ocean”.  She is made with jaspers and agates.  She is grounding but more than that she is a piece that says…”I am Worth it!!”    I will be at 3rd Friday Music Series in Saftey Harbor this Friday in front of Harbor Accents come out and see me.   Everyone enjoy the full moon…in all her glory and many hugs with much love to you all…Randi

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

 I have featured a photo of one of my favorite pieces that I do.  I call them collars with a twist.  They have the feel of vinage, very vintage (18th century vintage) with a bit of the present  added to them.  This was a special order fo a great friend/client.  When I saw the purple swarovski crystals and they were what I would call on sale….I let my friend know.  Actually I had already bought them because I knew that she wanted one of these awesome necklaces.  I was told to put it together with whatever finish I thought best for her…and she has her favorite stones!!  Well when thinking about this lovely lady, she just reminds of a bunch of love herself.  She has a bunch of kids,  a great husband and like all of us…those moments.   She is one of those that can loose time and space even with all that goes on in her life.  So when I found two awesome strands of rose quartz tear drops, well I just knew!!   I finished her collar off with those fabulous rose quartz drops because of the size of her heart…not that she needs help, but hey it never hurts!!  Anyway…to those that didn’t know…yes I do custom work.  Something just for you that will make you feel like the princess, queen or lovely maiden that you are…just contact me!!   And that whole thing with time and space…sometimes we just need to loose it for a day or two!!   Sandy wear her in great health and with the love she was made for you!!   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

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…
