May Is A Mother
Do you feel like you’re on a treadmill? I do. I feel like I’ve stumbled a few times this month as the ramp gets higher and the speed picks up. I’ve been keeping up the pace, but man, if I look away for one minute, I might be one of those complete disasters landing face first at the back of the room rolled into a ball, and if I’m lucky, with a broken bone or two.

Blood, Sweat and Tears
On this, the second anniversary of Bent Fine Jewelry, I wanted to write directly to you, my reader, customer, friend or acquaintance. A wise sister told me that my latest collection, Dunes Collection, was a culmination of blood, sweat and tears. I laughed it off at first, “tra la la, it was nothing! No really, I could do this all day long!” But then, when I thought long and hard about that statement, she was right. Side note: big sisters are always right.

There's Hope In Laundry
We just wanted to have a normal day again. For me, this meant a day in which I woke up, took a shower, had errands to run and work to finish. A day just like any other day.

Clean Your Junk Drawer, Cleanse Your Spirit
Do you hold on to things just knowing they will have a purpose in the future? Mothers, do you save all your kid’s art work? If so, what I’m about to tell you may make you shudder. I’m not that sentimental. Some call it being an ‘ice queen’, I call it efficiency. I don’t like holding on to things and I don’t find a fascination with hanging on to them for indefinite amounts of time. Shhhh…please don’t tell my daughter.

Part 2: Is Conditional Forgiveness Still Forgiveness?
I was going to write a follow up to my blog post and realized it’s been since the middle of October since I had written it. What? I could swear it was just mid-November, and with the holidays and such I didn’t get an opportunity to write a Part 2. How did the holiday season fly by as quickly as they did? I could write another blog post on that, but I’m kind of over it and want to move into a new year…2018.
