Introducing The Open Hearts Sunglass Collection With Artist Pat Milbery
A portion of proceeds will benefit SOS Outreach, a national non-profit mentorship program focused on youth outdoor adventure.
Zeal Optics and Denver-based artist Pat Milbery have teamed up to create Zeal Optics’ first-ever sunglass artist collaboration, The Open Hearts Collection. The Open Hearts Collection features a bright new take on some of Zeal Optics’ most classic frames. Milbery – a pro-snowboarder turned artist and mental health advocate – draws inspiration for his imaginative geometric landscapes and uplifting color palettes from Mother Nature herself.
“Nature – specifically the mountains – not only inspires my art, but it has been one of the most effective forms of therapy for me. Getting outdoors and snowboarding with my friends is critical to my mental health, and I prioritize getting to the mountains more often,” said Pat Milbery, artist for the Open Hearts Collection. “Now, science is showing that time spent in nature increases happiness, improves our relationships, and can bring meaning to our lives. That is why I am so proud to be partnering with Zeal Optics and SOS Outreach to release the Open Hearts Collection. SOS is doing important work to pair youth with mentors to create powerful outdoor experiences to empower kids in our communities.”
The Open Hearts Collection includes four different colorways of Zeal Optics’ Windsor and Crowley styles. Thoughtful two-tone combinations and sophisticated frames are paired with a powerfully positive celebration of color, style and heart. Crowley is a plant-based polarized sunglass that combines round styling and smooth lines for a unique breed of fashion-meets-function. Windsor is also plant-based and polarized, but features an unmistakable oval shape and keyhole bridge. MSRP $179
Five dollars from each Open Hearts Collection frame sold will be donated to SOS Outreach, a national nonprofit with programming for youth developing leadership skills, life skills and fostering mental health through the power of outdoor adventures.
"People and organizations coming together over shared values is how we build community and change lives," says Seth Ehrlich, Executive Director of SOS Outreach. "It is so exciting to see this collaboration with Zeal Optics and Pat Milbery for the Open Hearts Collection come to life and bring awareness to the power of outdoor exploration. The donations we receive from each purchase will help us serve more than 3,000 youth, from the Cascades to the Rockies, through mentoring and shared experiences."
“This collaboration represents the mantra that with open hearts, we are better equipped to take care of our environment, ourselves and one another,” said Mike Lewis, Senior Director of Global Marketing at Zeal Optics. “Getting outside, spending time with nature, and being part of a community that supports you can help improve so many aspects of our daily lives. We hope that’s what this collection helps you do both physically with the product, but also mentally with that intention in mind.”
The Open Hearts Collection is available online now at zealoptics.com.

When the box of wisdom opened, pure love, care and compassion popped up saying...
 What my Coffee says to me December 26 - drink YOUR life in - “What if collectively we purred and sang love into the world. Would the energy of love shift?” The answer is yes. As more of us radiate a heart coherence of love we create an energetic field which connects to all hearts. Boxing Day magic happens with open hearts. Jennifer R. Cook @catsinthebagdesignposts loves creating an illustration and positive message for your mental health.

Last year, I couldn't believe I was 33. Not because I'm older but because I was told I wouldn't make it as a baby. I fought hard & strong & proved them wrong. Little did I know I was in for a surprise. At 33, I found out I needed another open heart surgery... 4 years after my 2nd one. I was shocked. Confused. & in disbelief. But it had to be done. 3rd one & hopefully the last one. 6 months postop & here I am! Back to work, back to traveling, back to being better than ever. Thankful to all my friends, family, & coworkers who reached out to me. Recovering during the pandemic was tough but they all made me feel loved even from a distance. Also I am grateful for my husband who became my nurse after surgery... feeding me, giving me my medications, comforting me, updating my friends & family, & even taking my vital signs. This post is just a reminder to check up on your friends & family. A simple text like "How are you?" makes a big difference. Take care everyone!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. For Today’s Cards of The Day I was guided to pull more Twin Flame Messenger cards. Please see how this resonates with you and leave what does not. I also pulled more cards from our Confirmations Deck - so for those needed a sign if this is for you, please see below. . Changes are in the air. The Past is returning to heal. This may mean a past relationship or a Past Life may surface for you to heal. It will find balance again. For some, this may represent karmic cycles coming to completion. Others will be moving forward together. It will be a time to lead with love, heal with loving energy (for some, you can heal a hurting heart with self-love) and when the time is right you can merge your love with another. For some, a past love will returns with forgiveness, so the connection can move forward. . Always listen to your intuition and let your heart guide you to a brighter tomorrow. You have put in the work and are almost there. Keep looking forward. . Letters: JSMNFJPATRICKSYDUCTBELLAD Numbers: 1167 Zodiac: Cancer, Leo , Taurus Sign point to: In time, maybe soon, it will be very possible . . . #oraclecardsreadings #oracleoftheday #movingforwardwithlove #findingbalance #balanceoftheheartandmind #healingyoursoul👈💝 #openhearts #healingrelationshipswithlove #openheartscanunite #twinflamelove #twinflamejourney #twinflameconnection #twinflamehealingjourney #pastlifehealing #pastlifetwinflame #twinflamemessages #twinflamemessagesoracle #twinflame #twinflamemessenger2 #nadineswiger #twinflamemessenger3 #tforaclecards #soulreflectionoraclecards #twinflames #soulreflectionoracle #lovereading #twinflamereading https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9uVSRO8Jt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Receive the waters of His Perfect Peace as He washes over you 💙

A Little Holiday Cheer
Tumblr media
Happy Holidays!
@lilyoffandoms had no idea what they were creating when they wrote a tiny drabble about these three sets of loons. Since then, Lily, Dani (@storyofmychoices), and I have expanded on their hijinx, and it just gets more fun with time. I asked the lovely, talented, and all-around amazing @/artbyainna (IG) to create this commemoration not only of the friendship between Ethan, Merida, Bryce, Olivia, Casey & Tobias but, more importantly, the friendship between us! 😊 As always, she MORE than delivered! I hope this brings you a little smile.
Book: Open Heart Pairings: Ethan Ramsey x Merida (@lilyoffandoms), Bryce Lahela x Olivia (@storyofmychoices), and Tobias Carrick x Casey (mine!) Rating: Teen Words: 825 Summary: It all started at Ethan & Merida's place, so it's only fitting that we go back there again!
Tumblr media
There was something about this time of year... even the mundane seemed to morph into magic, and tonight's gathering of friends was no exception. While the robust aroma of lasagna competed with the sweet scent of sugar cookies baking in the second oven, neither managed to diffuse the fragrant pine from the Christmas tree. Music served only as a background to the laughter and lively chatter, but while Bryce and Olivia were too engaged in the conversation.. and each other... to notice the music shift from soulful renditions of holiday standards back to melodic strings and woodwinds, Merida didn’t miss a beat. Resplendent in her holiday attire, she halted slicing provolone for the charcuterie board long enough to shoot Ethan a menacing glare. 
“Ethan Jonah Ramsey, so help me God! If you turn Stevie off to put The Nutcracker back on one more time, I will not be responsible for my actions!”
“I’d be careful,” Bryce advised. “She is holding an exceptionally large knife.”
Ethan started to open his mouth, then thought better of it. With a quick flick of the wrist, “That’s What Christmas Means to Me My Love” blared through the air once more.
“What did it?” Olivia teased. “Knowing you were outnumbered, or the large knife?”
Ethan leaned against the counter, popped a piece of chorizo in his mouth, and shrugged. “It’s the season of goodwill. Let's go with that.” His half-smile quickly retreated when Merida slapped his hand.
“There will be no goodwill in this house if you keep sneaking food! You have to wait until all of our guests arrive.”
A sigh tinged with frustration escaped him. “I fail to see why we all need to starve because Carrick is late... again.”
“Technically, he’s not late,” Olivia advised.
“She’s right,” Merida agreed. “It’s only seven-fifty, and dinner starts at eight. They have ten minutes before we can declare them late.”  
Ethan turned to her with astonishment. “But I was there when you told him to be here at seven!”
“Yes,” Merida said matter-of-factly. “I told him that to ensure they’d be here by eight.”
“But since it's Tobias and Casey we're talking about,” Bryce interjected. “You probably should have told them six."
"True," Olivia nodded, biting into a fluffy cheese puff. “Knowing Casey, she’ll want to redo her hair and makeup.”
Ethan raised his eyebrows in disbelief as Merida smiled. “What?” she asked.
“Olivia is eating a cheese puff and not an ounce of chastisement from you... but I sneak a sliver of sausage, and you considered dismemberment!”
“Ethan...Olivia is a guest! Besides, she’s too cute to dismember.”
The doorbell rang, and the friends looked at their phones at 7:58 PM.
“Wow! They’re early!” Bryce exclaimed. “And they say Christmas miracles are a thing of the past!”
“Great,” Merida laughed as she wiped her hands with a dish towel. “That means they probably didn’t get it all out of their systems, and they’ll be horny on main all night.”  
“And that would be different from every other time... how?” Bryce laughed. 
Merida scurried down the hallway, high heels clicking, but her irritated boyfriend beat her to the door, swinging it open to find Tobias planting kisses on a giggling Casey’s neck.
“Do you two ever stop?”
“What?” Tobias protested with a sheepish grin. “We weren’t doing anything. We were just stuck in....”
“TRAFFIC!” The four friends shouted.
“That is what they call it these days,” Olivia winked, all too proud of herself.  "Aren't they?"
“Hey! You can’t blame us,” Casey said, tossing her fuzzy coat over Ethan’s unextended arm. “Boston is just filled with traffic!”
“Mmmhmmm,” Merida greeted her friend with a warm embrace. “And you two are always without GPS.”
“That’s right,” Casey smiled. “We prefer to go by... feel.”
“Can we send them home now?” Ethan groaned.
But Merida and Casey were already halfway down the hall, linked arm-in-arm and giggling like schoolgirls. Ethan jumped when Tobias’s hand landed on his shoulder with a thud.
“You were saying, buddy?”
Running a hand down his face, Ethan surrendered. “Olivia is right. I’m outnumbered.”
Moments later, the couples were assembled around the kitchen table, with wine generously poured. Ethan happily partook in cured meats as he endured one too many jokes about salami from his best-freinemy.
“Tobias, I swear, you never escaped adolescence.”
“Was that something we were supposed to escape?”
Bryce raised his glass with a smile. “Only during working hours!”
“And these are not working hours,” Merida gleefully stated. “A toast... to friends, who have become family.”
“And by family, she means you’re inescapable!” Ethan grinned.
“Just like adolescence,” Casey beamed, clinking her glass with the others.
Merida set her eyes on Ethan’s, a radiant smile on her lips. “And would you have it any other way?”
Wrapping his arm around her waist he pulled her close. "No," he beamed. "Despite each of you, save Olivia, causing me more grey hairs by the moment... I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Tumblr media
Several drinks in, you know they started teasing Tobias about his "Ho-Ho-Ho" sweater. Everyone except Olivia, who wasn't sure what they meant until Bryce whispered it in her ear. Merida and Casey quickly agreed to corrupt the poor dear much more before their New Year's Eve gathering!
Happy Holidays! :)

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them. 🤝💙 Trust is a bridge built on mutual faith and openness, and taking the first step often paves the way for a strong connection.
