Renewal through writing...

I am renewing this blog for several reasons. One, I sell jewelry. Affordable items that share inspiration, uplift, recognize and share The Lord's hand in my life. But two, as a means to leave a journal for my posterity. If you have followed the bread crumbs here looking for a girl with perfect grammar, rhyming skills, quick come backs and hilarious one liners.....move along little doggie. If you are looking for someone with good intent, sass and sarcasm and an unfaltering love for her Savior Jesus Christ, her family and her chihuahua. Then hop on in the wagon and come along for the ride. The first story I want to remember was from the boutique show I just attended as a vendor this weekend. I seem to have a great gift for picking show's that are either new or run by some one who is inexperienced. Either way, this was a two day event and it was SO slow. I think I had only sold a couple items the first day. Saturday, the second day went much the same. Although there were lots of people that stopped to look. It was nearing the end of the show and gal waled into my booth. She came in, started looking around and loved everything. She commented on the "feel" of the booth. She said it "felt right". Anyhow, she came in and started looking around. She looked through the charms and started a handful of ones that she wanted. She asked about charms that were on necklaces already packaged and ready to go. I went ahead and decided to take them out of the package and remove them from the necklaces. She proceeded to tell me that she loved the feel of my booth. That there was something special about me and my products. As corny as it may sound, she told me that she had prayed before coming into the show that Heavenly Father would lead her to the place she needed to be to get whatever it was he would have her buy.I'll admit, I'm not sure I have ever put that much thought into a shopping trip. I'd have never guessed that Heavenly Father would lead someone to buy a $12 necklace, but it was then that I realized. It's not about the price. It's about the symbolism. The love and hope. It's about the uplifting messages. I set out to be a light to others and I am so grateful that when my own flame began to burn out that Heavenly Father sent this woman to me. To brighten my life and strengthen my spirit. It's my hope and prayer today that we all remember that we are worth much more than the price tags on our clothes. We are loved, powerful and strong. We are capable, cherished and adored. We are DIVINE daughters of a Heavenly Father that loves us. Note to self: Price has little to do with the sparkle of the heart. If you are still following along at this point and it's not because you are hoping for a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow....then check out my first listings for hand stamped jewelry. I'm feeling especially blessed and made this piece to express it. https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/DivineEnergyCTR/tools/listings/view:table,stats:true/279940012
