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

Fear…Does it Rule Us or Do We Conquer it??

Once again it seems that I have not blogged in awhile.  Since the move to the new place my words have gone more inward or to a very small group of people more so than outward…but I know that my blog needs some words.  So as I walked on the beach tonight, I thought about some of the incredible things that I have experienced over the last couple of weeks. 

Let me say first, that there are days when I choose to live my life, and others where I seem to be in fear.  I just recently met a little boy who was very healthy 3 months ago, and was struck down by some strange illness…I was so very grateful to get to meet this little boy who taught me that you fight for what is yours…he fought for his life and will continue…but they say within 6 months to a year he will be back to completely healthy!!  Yes he made a choice to live his life and face fear.  I also recently met a kind gentleman who had been in remission for 17 years but is now battling again that awful disease that will take more of us than any other…he has chosen to treat this alternatively and knows he is in for the fight of his life this time…but he to is choosing to live his life and deal with fears.  I was honored to meet him and his wife who stands by his side and agrees with his choices, allowing him to make the decisions that will untimately effect both of them. 

Then as I walked the beach tonight, I thought about a senario that has been with me for 16 years…something I have not closed the chapter on, used as a crutch, not faced.  I walked  and  wondered if I would have the courage to pull the trigger and face my fears…possibly having to close the chapter and not having the crutch anymore.  I have pulled the trigger on so many things…this is just one more of those and yet this one seems to stop me dead in my tracks.  Well when I came home I was given a sign, a great sign…a call form a friend out of the blue with the words that apparantly I had forgotten…or needed to hear.  So needless to say I am pulling this trigger to move forward and to face or conquer this fear….

I have chosen a bright pink Turquoise and candy jade necklace to show with this blog (not yet on the site, but feel free to contact me if you want more info).  Turquoise represents our connection to all that is as well as protection and recieving while the jade brings about prosperity and works on the heart chakra…and of course the Pink…is all about the heart…the heart knows that you need to face your fears and live and love your life!!  many hugs with much love to all…

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

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

HAPPINESS…..

The last couple of days  have been a real experience for me.  I have been in a class that really opened my eyes to the thoughts of inner happiness.  Sometimes we wonder what exactly it is, or if we ever really achieve it.  Some people ask is there really such a thing…well Santa I believe that there is!!  Inner peace starts with ourselves.  Looking at who we are and deciding if we have dealt with all of our “stuff” or if we are sweeping it all under the rug.  Are we really able to let go of the “ick” and have we been able to grow and learn from it.  Being happy is an achieved art…being able to be with your self, spending time alone, liking who you are and being complete.  If you can achieve all of that then you are probably on your way to inner hapiness. 

I am showing a piece of jewelry that deals with love. Kunzite is an amazing stone with the properties to help us find our love for our selves, as well as opening us up for love from all places.  When you can do this, accept love from any and everywhere , then you will find that you have your inner happiness…many hugs with much love to all…~Randi
