Peace and Love in 2022

Happy New Year All!! Hoping you have danced into 2022 with a fresh outlook on life - letting go of any baggage from 2021 while retaining the beauty and magic it brought as well. For me, this is an ongoing process every single day. Perhaps for you too?

My Holidays were a bit hectic although happy and mostly peaceful. If I were more evolved, they would have been completely peaceful. Being human is definitely entertaining at times. I know what I need to do to be peaceful, and how wonderful it feels to be in that place yet still, I have my moments! It is an enchanting space BEing the Eye of the Storm. It is even more magnificent to be able to guide others to that place of peace as well. This isn’t necessarily done by preaching. Often simply walking the walk is enough. BEing an example of Peace sometimes makes people wonder what you are up to as well 😊 St. Francis of Assisi was a beautiful example of BEing an Instrument of God’s Peace. (You may wish to look up St. Francis' Peace Prayer if not familiar.) Although, keep in mind, we are all individuals for a reason. Each of us will find our own path of peace and share it with others in our own unique ways.

One of the ways I help spread Peace and Love is with my Valentines aka Hearts of the Sea ~ Rocks, Shells, Coral, Sea Glass - even Shark Teeth and Bone have all been patiently hewn by Nature shaping them into the symbols of Love they have become. Some embellished - others totally in their natural state.  They make lovely Valentines or “Just Thinking of You” gifts. Perhaps a sweet beachy touch to your own Valentine’s Day décor. A few have hangers but most just sit pretty or fit nicely in a pocket. The smooth ones even make great “soothing stones” (not to be confused with “worry stones”). Some can even be personalized if we coordinate soon enough. Pictured here are only some of the Love creations available. Contact me with your interest. Let me know if you are interested in mostly tiny ones, mostly embellished ones, all natural ones, ones that can be customized/personalized etc. and I will do my best to accommodate – hopefully in time for Valentine’s Day although the gift of Love is delightful all year through.

Something that has contributed to my peace is manifesting gorgeous conditions in which I personally thrive more. Thankfully, I have my tropical sand, sea and sunshine. This makes it easier for me to maintain my peace and be a peaceful force for others. Peaceful force? Kinda sounds like an oxymoron huh? But never underestimate the power of Peace and Love in all aspects of life. The more I get this, the more I get to experience Heaven on Earth. Can you feel it too? What can you do today to brighten your world?

Keeping this short and sweet as I wish you all a 2022 full of Peace and Love. If you have that, everything else will fall into perfect place. Namaste ~

Season of Selflessness?

Tis the Season of Selflessness – or so one might think with all we’ve been taught. How many times have you heard, “It is better to give than to receive”? Think about that for a moment. Without someone to receive, one cannot have the satisfaction of giving. Is not the receiver giving a warm fuzzy gift to the giver by accepting? And, you don’t know – but the receiver may be doing a grander service than meets the eye of placing themselves in the position of “receiver”. But that could be an entirely stand-alone discourse. To give you an idea, have you ever seen the paw outline accompanied by the words, "Who Rescued Who?"
It is a delightful balanced circle of dance of the highest order. In each of our individual lives, that balance must flow for us to be well. If one is constantly giving – getting nothing in return – they become depleted….drained…incapable of giving any more. We can no longer give if we have nothing left to give. 

Consider a shift in thinking this holiday season. Begin imagining a higher level of Selfishness/Self-Fullness. Remember, there is a Part of us that is “like God”. The more we can embody that, the greater the degree of good we can elevate the entire planet with. A truly selfish person – in this elevated sense – can help the most others from their place of power. When one’s own immediate needs are taken care of, when someone is coming from a place of Being whole and complete, their natural default is to serve others.

I believe it was Wayne Dyer who said something like - when an orange is squeezed, you always get orange juice. When a lemon is squeezed you get lemon juice. When squeezed by life’s challenges, you will ooze whatever you are made of. If you are happy, you will exude happiness. If you are healthy, you will ooze good health and vitality. If you are angry, stressed and overwhelmed, then that’s what you will produce more of. If love and joy are what you want to give and receive, change your life by changing what's inside first.

What are you made of? What are you radiating out to the rest of the world? What radical new self-care approach might help you shine you light brighter to the rest of the world? What is the kindest thing you can do for yourself right now?

These are simply thoughts for you to ponder. Realize the incredible power you possess to shift your own world and, in turn, the whole world around you. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!

Perhaps you’d like to treat yourself with some Holiday Gifts From The Sea? Or, in your wholeness, share them with others? 

There is the richly meaningful Sand Dollar with its Star Satellite Companions. They are encased in a vintage gold plated frame with beveled glass outlined in real sand. 

You can always go right with a versatile Multi-Shell Ornament. Not only will it enhance your holidays, you can enjoy it all year round!

The first Shell Ornament pictured is still available (as of this writing) while the rest have found their way to their new homes. More may be available if there is a demand also.

You can buy directly from our etsy shop or message if you are interested in something not offered there.

Wishing you all may manifest wonderful holidays no matter how you choose to celebrate. I see you whole and complete – healthy and happy! Thank you for the gift of your presents/presence in my life!
