Hello everyone! I hope all of you are well and enjoying life! So I’m still working on design and concept for the new ballet inspired jewelry line and thanks so much for the amazing ideas that so many of you submitted. I would encourage you to keep the ideas coming. 🤗 This is a learning process for me and am loving every minute of it. I have great faith in turning intention into reality. I want to also share with you an amazing artist that really changed the way I think and view the world. If you haven’t heard of him or his music, please take a minute and check him out. His group is “Nahko and Medicine For The People” his music changed the trajectory of my life.
