Loving Precious metal clay

I booked a beginner in Silver course at http://www.sussexjewelleryschool.com/
yesterday found for me by my gorgeous daughter Jade. When I originally found it I thought it was a course to teach basics in silver smithing ~if I knew the term when I was looking would have probably found basics in SM~ I booked it then wondered whether PMC is what I wanted to learn, for although I make and sell jewellery, I have not been trained to ~should I be saying that out loud, oh well to late now, I strive to be truthful to myself and others as much as I can~ Still it was too late to cancel so trusted that whatever happens it was for my highest good.

I loved it, there were 7 of us and we all produced some lovely stuff, here is my creations, I am well pleased with what I did for the first time(see above) and the probable possibilities it brings me is immense. My creativity can run free :o)

PMC produces items that are 999 silver rather than 925 so it is a lot purer and softer but just as beautiful ~will be testing the joy pendant this week on my bracelet to see how it fairs~ I am so looking forward to combining PMC with the things I already create I have some ideas already and will be testing them out, so keep an eye out.

Here is some of my other stuff:

My favourite bible quote

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul (Psalm 143:8).”

Appreciating what makes you, you

Today a friend of mine asked me to write what I thought made her, her and what she is best at. I was a little...something...a feeling was there, not sure what, maybe not wanting to come across as smarmy or licking a*** I guess, as it is someone I hold dear to my heart and I admire greatly. The unnamed feeling was quickly let go as I started to write and the words flowed easily and effortlessly


In writing the things I think make her, her I got to focus on the things I appreciate about her all the things we can sometimes over look about a person as we go about our daily lives. It feels good to focus in this way and would recommend it to anyone. Doing this today has increased the buzz I already started with...nice one :o)


I write lists of appreciation about a lot of things however they do not go anywhere ~ well not always ~  I remember when I left RM that I wrote letters to the people I worked with, I let them know what I liked about them, it was hard to give it to them, I became very emotional whilst writing it and if I spoke in the giving of the letter it was all over (emotions you can't beat 'em) However I wanted them to know how I felt, it's nice to share your good thoughts on people with them, before dare I say it...it's too late.


The good thing about appreciation, when you focus on or notice what you appreciate about a person ~ even people you don't like or have hurt you in some way ~ what you appreciate becomes more prevalent.




Happy Friday everyone

Does it fit?

Sometimes I feel like I am trying to fit myself into situations, not ones that are unknown to me, completely alien or that I haven't done a good job in before, but some don't feel the same way now. The analogy that I came to was pegs, the one about fitting a square peg into a round hole, although that now loses some credibility for me know as in my mind as I could definitely get it in. However quite similarly I am a flexible triangular peg that can fit any hole but it doesn't feel as comfortable and cosy as when I am in my trangular hole. 

Hmmm! those maybe the wrong words to use as they make me feel like going to sleep (comfortable and cosy) however the feeling I mean gives me the buzz to do he things that flow for me as its in my *Zone of genius hmmm now I know how that feels I will notice when its more prevalent.

Will this keep me in my comfort zone I think not however...who knows, I guess I will find out that's what has just come up for me, maybe it's because I have used the the word comfort, but I like things to feel good. I am very aware of when things feel good and when they don't, my vibrational indicator is improving more and more every day.

*Zone of Genius is from the book 'The Big Leap' by Gay Hendricks

Was guided to check out YouTube for Gay Hendricks an found this.

Noticing, what I am noticing xxx

One of the things I am noticing is that although things are good I can sometimes pay a little too much attention to the bit that could do with improvement, still it's good to know. Awareness is the key.

Here's to Martin Luther King Jnr

Today is Martin Luther King day, he was a great man with an amazing vision that still holds fast in people's mind and have become their visions too, young, old, race, gender, orientation, religion, ability mental or physical we all seek some form of freedom


‎"Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom, by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred"

My favourite quote ‎"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." 


I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."


"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase"

It had to be

It's funny the people and things that can come to you when you trust the Universe to always have your back. I have many people shouting my corner at the mo, in the physical and in spirit. My Angels and guides see to it that I connect with the those that I need to, I am where I need to be, doing whatever I am doing. 


Sometimes the reason I connect with people may not just be for my highest good it maybe for theirs also, one can never really tell and I have stopped trying to work that one out ~ LOL I'm such a fibber I try and work out the situations that are painful, not always any more but more often than not.


I am very appreciative for where I am as I know where I have been and it's not pretty, it wasn't horrendous -though at times I thought some things were, it was what it was. I do know though that IT HAD TO BE. I would do it all again just to be where I am and be who I am. The thing about doing it all again is though I would know what's coming and where's the fun in that. 


I know some really amazing people that have me feeling truly blessed, everyone I meet and connect with brings me a 'lesson' or two, some more enjoyable than others, all of them...necessary. I have noticed one thing the more I am connected to my true Divine self (in the flow) the easier, enjoyable, painless,quick my learning of my 'lesson' is. 


It's so nice when I am in the flow as I feel I have my own magical wand, It gets better people it gets better, from wherever you are it gets better.
