bling and baubles

bracelets.  earrings.  necklaces. rings.  hair bands.  toe rings.  turns out...i like them all.

i spent so many years not having anything for myself.  always having to be last.  always being questioned if i bought anything. i became...hesitant.  reticent.  i became unaware of what i actually enjoy.

it's not the expense.  it's the....feeling of pretty.  i love the feeling of getting my jewelry on in the morning. i love the feeling of dangly earrings and clattering bracelets.  i love the remembrances in my rings of grandfather and mother.  i love the friends who have made me things of beauty.

bling and baubles.  outward adornment of a soul set free. ready to fly.  a soul growing in the beauty that was placed there by her creator.  mind and heart and soul...free to worship...free to love...free to give...free to risk...free to flaunt it all just a little bit.

oh...and lace.  lace is lovely. :)

have a blessed april fool's day.  he is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.  i gave up popularity and respect.  i gave up looking right.  i gave up pretenses.  i gave up.  and i gained life.  a life that i cannot lose.

i am delighted.  i am delighted in.  and it is spilling over in the silliest ways....including jewelry.
blessings my loves.
