                                          The Anxiety Ring
                                          The October Ring to the right.
While working in downtown Chicago, you meet a lot of interesting people.  About two summers ago, I met Katie Johansson, owner of Dollybird. She had the most wonderful jewelry.  I am a ring fanatic.  Her rings are definitely conversation pieces.  Every time I wear one of her rings, I get lots of compliments.  My favorites are the October ring that has all of the fall colors in it.  I am a fall baby and I was born in October.  So it was logical to purchase the one of a kind October ring.  The other ring is my anxiety ring.  The story behind this ring is this man I use to ride the train with was into natural stones that had healing properties.  He had two stones. I don't recall what the other stone was but I chose the amber looking colored stone.  I am into a lot of neutral colors.  He gave me the stone and told me that it heals anxiety.  Go figure, I suffer from anxiety from time to time.  He told me I should just carry the stone with me at all times. With that in mind, I decided to have it placed in a ring and Katie was the one I chose to do it. Like they say, the Creator works in mysterious ways.  Dollybird Jewelry can be purchased at http://www.etsy.com/shop/dollybirddesign.

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...
