Hello and welcome to my website!

It’s my deepest desire that this will become a gathering place, a vehicle for sharing ideas, inspiration and thoughts on living a mindful life.  As happens to many of us, I woke up one day and realized that although I longed to have more meaning in my life, I was really just crossing tasks off a never ending list of things to do.  Living a mindful life was always set aside for ‘some day’ in the future when I wasn’t so busy!

As a way of relaxing I began designing jewelry.  At first I was drawn to the colors, shapes and textures of natural gemstones.  I would go to a gem show and just wander the aisles wanting to squeal in delight as I took in all the pretty beads. As I began researching the healing and mystical properties of gemstones, it occurred to me that jewelry could be more than just beautiful – it could actually assist in living a more mindful life!  If living a mindful life means living in the moment and focusing our attention, then wearing a piece of jewelry with particular gemstones can be a touchstone, a reminder of our ‘intention’.

As I write this, I’m wearing aquamarine for illuminating intentions.  Because it’s often difficult for me to capture my thoughts on paper (or computer screen as the case may be), wearing aquamarine is assisting me by illuminating my inner ocean of knowledge, wisdom and creativity!  I hope you enjoy browsing my current jewelry collections and learning more about gemstone meanings and intentions.  Please touch base and let me know your thoughts and inspirations for mindful living.  Also, check back often – and make sure to add your name to my mailing list - as I have lots of new ideas in the works including jewelry for our beloved fur friends!   

Blessings,
Melissa
