So, for those of you who know me IRL (in real life) - where is this coming from? Well, I will share a little bit with you. ;-)
This last year has been one of the hardest years of my life - - and I have had to give up a lot of things that have given me an outlet for my creativity and brought me joy due to new diagnoses and challenges.
I now deal with chronic illness, pain, and fatigue. That's a fact - but the fact remains that I am also - and will always be - a creative, inspired person just looking for a great way to express my inner self that loves to make and design beautiful things.
I have a good friend that is branching out to follow her dream in the next few months - - - and in looking at her, I have realized that there is something I have always wanted to do but have pushed it aside all these years to do more "sensible" things!
I want to design and create jewelry - along with keeping myself busy as I am able with photography and other crafts. I am NEW to jewelry making as a primary means of expression ---- but I can't wait to get started and start posting pictures of some pretty things I have made... (I hope they turn out ok!)
I am not starting a business, per se, but just like my photography, I allow God to work through me to be a blessing to others.
I pray that as you start seeing God bringing beauty from ashes in my life that you will be encouraged to believe in Him for the miracle you are wishing for in your heart too.
I am grateful for my generous friend, Cynthia, who has encouraged me to reach for the stars and will be sending me some pretty things to get me started. She is my fairy-jewelmother!
God bless you - and know how much I am thankful for ALL that God has given to me - including the inspiration to start something fun and exciting.
