Happiness - I will be happy when...

"I will be happy when..." (A post I read on Huffington Post , author unknown) This innocent comment is the very reason that happiness is so elusive for us in the modern world. We think: I will be happy when I have a successful relationship. I will be happy when I find a job. I will be happy when I'm out of this relationship. I'll be happy when I get that job promotion. I will be happy when my kid gets into the right school. The formula is clear: arbitrarily-defined success, then happiness. Think about how some people conceive of relationships: "I am unhappy being single, so I will be happy when I am dating the person of my dreams." I had a friend in high school tell me that he would never be happy until he methis other half. This is exactly the formula of "I will be happy when..." We don't quote Freud much anymore, but he did get one thing right: Freud said we leak information through every pore. Our brains are designed to look past thi

Olive Wood Bead Necklace One of my favorite necklaces. It can be worn with anything, like a dress, t-shirt or blouse. Today I am wearing it with a striped blue/white t-shirt from Brandy & Melville, midnight blue corduroy jeans from the Gap with my SCORED! thrift find brown platform ankle boots AND lime green leather jacket.

Reality - MY PEACE

Today would have been my mom's 63rd birthday, but she died a few months ago from cancer. She fought long, well not too long (13 months), but she fought hard to live as long as possible. What her illness taught me is that you have no SAY on when you are going to die or how long you are going to live. If it's your time to go, then IT'S YOUR TIME TO GO. My mom, who was obviously my mother, who I respected, my idol, who I adored, my best friend, who I could shoot the sh*t, my motivator, who would pump my ego and my all around everything I held sacred was the bomb. I miss you much and I thank you for being my mother and MY PEACE! You passed on to me to be CREATIVE, WORK WITH MY HANDS, MAKE STUFF, LOVE TO MAKE STUFF, BE PHYSICAL, BE ORIGINAL, BE CURIOUS, BE HONEST,, BE YOURSELF, DON'T DISRESPECT YOURSELF AND DON'T BE A BULLSHITTER even though looking at other people's blogs, I feel fragile, weak, dorky and HUGE), but I am tryingo to challenge myself to be BE TRUE TO w

Me and MY PEACE

It's not uncommon for me to have my jewelry, camera and tripod with me because when I know I will get the urge to take some photographs, so I am MOST of the time prepared. I am passionate about living MY LIFE. I am not concerned about getting rich, getting married, getting a new job, getting a new car, getting famous, getting popular. I am not interested in GETTING anything because I know it's not going to MAKE me happy. This what I have learned on my journey during this life process. The way I live my life is by creating, making, doing. If it's making a necklace, making earrings, sewing a skirt, making a mannequin, taking photographs. I have to be creating. I'm getting off the subject of this post. Anyway, I was riding my bike from work to the beach with my bag of jewelry, camera and tripod. It was such a gorgeous evening, I stopped on the beach path and started taking photos. Here's what I got. I look pretty serious in my photos because I don't know how to

Everyone is so different when it comes to with what to wear their jewelry. I've had a few of MY PEACE of JEWELRY pieces purchased across the country. Unfortunately, it's only been a few times that I've seen how it's worn. MY PEACE of JEWELRY is not meant to be worn a particular way. I just want a buyer to love MY PEACE of JEWELRY as much as I do. I price it at an amount that I am okay with parting with it, knowing it's going to a someone who really likes it. I am going on another tanget. What this post is about is showcasing how I would wear MY PEACE of JEWELRY. I hope one to see how a customer would wear their piece. My style of dress is jeans, t-shirt with boots, flip flops or low heeled shoes with a bohemian ethnic flair. The challenge for me is how do I merge my tomboy-style of dressing with MY PEACE of JEWELRY. Today, at lunch I did a solo mini-photo shoot. What the hell! I give props to models. I have no idea how to pose my body. I am not the skinny chic w
