Life is a Carnival

The Band sang a song once talking about Life being a Carnival…Take your best shot was one of the lines in the song if memory serves me correctly.  Well life is a carnival, and sometimes at the carnival we have a blast and sometimes we eat too much cotton candy and get sick as a dog!!  I have been there on both sides of the fence.  I have also been on both sides of the life fence…and can imagine that I still will be.  How we look at our life is what is important!!! 

As I write this right now there is a young woman who is on her way for chemo treatment…she is a bright star…and today while she is sitting there with a machine hooked up to her arm….I can imagine that she will make everyone smile.  Tomorrow or the next day she will not feel so well as this chemical goes into her body to do what it will do to help the battle this disease.  She will most likely go into her self and deal with the after effects of the “treatment” or the day at the carnival where we ate too much candy.  I know that during this down time, this young woman will take to the time to realease  some old stuff and continue to do what is best for her…because this dis-ease has taught he to do just that.  She will take these moments of being low and let herself be surrounded by love. 

 We plan these great lives for ourselves, and I am not saying that we shouldn’t, while we thought we were writing our own play, and in complete total control and balance something comes along and knocks us on our feet…well folks it is called life.  How we handle that is part of our learning.   At 50 did I write the story of being divorced twice and no longer owning a home…maybe I did and maybe I didn’t, but the one thing I can tell you is that we move on.  it is our life and we can see it as a great day at the carnival or a day where the fried Twinkies and cotton candy got to us.  Live you life with grace and ease,  look at your down days with a smile as much as your up days…because those down days as a friend of mine has told me…give us time to come back to who we really are…many hug with much love to all… Randi

Joy and Peace…

And it seems as if since the move blogging is a bit harder for me to get to…but I am back.  I am back because this morning while walking the beach I got to feel the coolness of the gulf.  While taking in the feeling, yes in the physical and emotional sense,  I looked to see dolphins playing maybe 50 yards out…such beauty.  They remind me that we are to have peace and joy…because when you see these playful creatures…they are truly peace and joy. I showed them to 2 little girls and watched their eyes widen with wonder, amazement and excitement.   Such a great feeling to share and see their delight!!

I have been struggling lately with letting people be where they want to be in their lives.  This includes myself …maybe because I am still finding out who I am.  Are we not at peace with who we are, we should be even while growing and changing…or not.     I sometimes find that joy is easy to have while peace requires a slightly differnt appraoch.    Seeing love in everyone…isn’t that what we are here to do.  So in the last days…I have felt a calmer sense of peace and as long as I look and see exactly what things are and how they are…and just put love to them and to me…then I will have my inner peace.  That love I speak of also includes loving myself, no matter what or how I see things…because this is really who I am.  If I don’t like something that is fine, but I must allow others to have their own experiences without judgement as this is how I want to be treated with my life and my choices.  If we see ourselves with love, then we will be able to see others with love.  I have chosen this amethyst and quartz crystal necklace to show for many reasons…amethyst helps us to see the bigger picture on any and everything while the quartz will clear, clean and energize us…be it our bodies, minds and/or souls.

many hugs with much love…Randi

Moments Remembered…

There are many moments in our lives that we remember that bring us joy and smiles…I’d like to recall one of them.  I ofter get asked how did I come up with the name “RandiBling” for the company.  Well to be honest, I didn’t!!  I remember working a home show while still selling wine for a living…had just snuck out of the booth and attended a small gem show which was literally right next door.  One of my friends went with me.  I walked into the room and it was if I was pulled into a certain direction…to a table with lovely amethyst on it!!  I could not move until I had purchased a strand of this awesome stone.  We went back to the booth and the story was told…and we decided right there and then that I was hooked and would have to be selling my jewelry.  So bored out of our minds we started brain storming  about names…with tiny cups of wine in hand.  After several minutes my good friend and work colleague Laura says something to the effect of I’ve got the name but it’s a bit out of date.  She blurts out “RandiBling”.  There and then the name was born…2 hours later I told my good friend Jim and before I knew it…the name was purchased…and there you have the story of how “RandiBling” was born!!  Great memories and great moments…thank you to all who helped create this amazing company!!  Many hugs with much love to all…~Randi

Walking, calm the beach…

 While walking on the beach yesterday, I had so many thoughts running through my head…nothing uncommon being an Aquarian.  The one thing that I did know was that being on the beach with my feet in the sand was calming and grounding.   I spent time focused on the water and watching the waves as they came in and out as well as the sparkle of the sun shinning brightly on the water.  There was certainly a peace out there, a peace that I was grateful to experience.   I noticed we all seem to be in a state of confusion/chaos at the holiday season…and I really don’t understand why?!   If we look at what this is really all about…it’s about being with family and friends, but then shouldn’t we do that everyday?  Peace and calm and harmony, it’s what we should all strive for.  We can find that peace and calm anywhere, we just have to look for it instead of pushing it away.  I hope that we can all find some peace and harmony this season, and be grateful for our love ones, whether they are our family or our extended family. What I do know is that we should laugh as much as we can while we can, live for every moment is precious and love, yep the one that gets us hurt…well love with open abandon to everyone that matters to you!!   many hugs with much love to all…~Randi
