I Love You
This day is about more than treats and gifts. It’s about sharing love. When was the last time you said, “I love you,” to someone? Actually, when was the last time you looked in the mirror and said, “I love you”?
Keep the Light Shining: Year-End Reflections
We are not alone. It takes combination of inner reflection as well as connection to others that helps me see the rainbow and keep the light shining…
Winter is Coming
Out come the blankets in our drafty loft. Time to curl up and cocoon. December days will soon bring us to the winter solstice, where the darkness will start to wane and the days will get longer. As the world keeps spinning, light will again prevail.
Realizing Abundance through Less
What if abundance actually came from less? Less work, less social media, less distractions, less clutter, less worry. What if we made room for more? More time to be present, more space for creativity, more peace, more quality time with the people I love.
The Simple Brilliance of Stepping Outside
Feeling the acceleration of time… Desperately wanting to slow down the pace… Wanting to press reset …. I stepped outside….
Clients I’ve Loved Working with in 2018
Sharing some time and space with clients I work with is a very personal and wonderful experience. Here are a few stories that were inspiring this year.
I Planted the Seeds, This is What I Grew
You work all the time – toiling and planting. When do you get to reap what you sow? This vacation was my reaping. I planted the seeds, this is what I grew.
Gone on Holiday
So many countries close their shops to take a holiday. The US is one of the few countries so bent on productivity, we can often times forget to enjoy the spoils of our toils. Well, enough of that! Ren and I are taking a holiday!
Intentional Elegance
Lately I’ve been finding that my clients are hungry for more meaning in their lives. I’ve gotten so many requests from people looking to honor their life experiences and reflect back their truths. To create intentional elegance for them.
An Elegant Equation
I am not a mathematician, however my life changed when I adjusted the equation. I started trying to live with intention rather than reacting to things happening around me.
The Men on My Mind
June is always the month I celebrate the men in my life. The truth is, there are so many men who have impacted my life and helped me grow.
What My Mother Didn’t Say
It’s not always the advice your mother tells you, sometimes it’s the example they live. Sometimes it’s what your mother didn’t say.
Natural Inspiration for Transformation
I’ve written a few times about how inspired I am by things in nature. The geometry of it, the beauty of it, the unassumingness of it all. But lately I’ve been thinking about the cycle of nature and the cues we can take from the transformation from dormancy into vibrancy.
What Will Be Your Legacy?
It doesn’t take much to make our world, or someone else’s day, a little bit better. It might take a little effort and some intentional mindfulness, but it can start with something as simple as a smile.
Laurie: Resilience and Success
Laurie was looking to have a modern piece that reflected the resilience of her grandmother’s life combined with the successes of her life.
She Moves Me
As International Women’s Day was approaching I was trying to think of a female role model. Someone empowered who inspired me and I couldn’t think of a single one — because dozens were coming to mind. Real and fictitious, famous and unknown, these are the women who challenge, inspire, and move me daily.
What it Means to Love
With Valentine’s season right around the corner, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to love. Love can live in the little things, and in the big overtures. It can be the easiest thing in the world and sometimes the most difficult.
Diana: Appreciating Transformative Power
What did you want to see reflected in your custom CED piece?
I am a photographer and love clean, minimal designs. I told her I wanted my ring to look like a camera, but only an interpretation, a hint, a feeling, not a literal design. And when people look at my gorgeous ring, they say it looks like a camera. So it is really perfect for me.
Perspective
Perfection is about perspective. Perspective is the truth as you see and experience it.
