Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Hello my dear friend,just want to share with you a beautiful e.mail that i got from my friend ,Deb. "All animals are habitual. Our diet, our walk, our daily routine are all for the most part the same every day. As a daily runner, my routes are pretty habitual as well. I run so many different trails throughout the week, and as I have written before, I strive to run new paths and trails frequently. This past weekend I ran 4 different places and trails and felt blessed every step by new scenery and eye opening vistas. However, this morning as I set off for my dawn run in the neighborhood, I realized for the umpteenth time what a creature of habit I am. I always turn and do loops in the same direction. I always turn right first on a loop. So this morning I decided to change directions. I went left first. How was my day? Fine. More expansive? Not necessarily. Did going left rather than right do something for me? Perhaps. But is it a metaphor for my life? Can I in the moment decide to turn left rather than right just because I realize I always turn right? Can someone have their morning coffee without reading the newspaper? Can you drive to work a different way- different streets, neighborhoods, traffic lights. Anything we can do to move out of our box, stretch ourselves out of our daily routine of coffee, brushing teeth, driving, helps us grow. When we allow all aspects of our life and day to become routine and rote, we close ourselves off on some level to others and the world around us. Dr. John Gotmann writes about aspects of healthy relationships. One key trait is the ability to be influenced by others. I would like to expand that to the ability to be influenced by the world around us. When we can let ourselves let go of our routine, ego, structure and be influenced by what’s around us by changing direction or changing opinions than we can show up more deeply and more open hearted in the world. We should all be blessed this month to change a little something every day in our routine from what you eat and how to where you walk and when. Open your heart and mind a little beyond the comforts of your routine and self in order to let those around you in a little deeper and thus be influenced and more intimate with them, yourself and the world around you. Blessings, Deb"

Every Disc Has Has A Story --- Thank You Everyone!

I truly see each custom personalized design as my opportunity to share in the life of that family through joyous occasions such as a birthday or holiday or wedding and through their sadness in my pieces of remembrance in sharing a family's loss. I create every piece with love, one letter at a time - it's the ultimate personal experience for me. This isn't just a job for me, it's a great passion and blessing, to be able to be a part of a family's story - even if just in that short moment of time. I never forget a family's special request for a custom order and every time I duplicate that certain piece, I'm taken back to the wonderful unique stories that my work allows me to share with my community.

Thank you for letting me create your necklace.

made with LOVE

Great Press - My Heart Is For You, In A Biblical Way.By Bryce-Oct 2nd, 2009 -Category- FASHION- Jewelry-Shoes and Accessories

{Again,THANK YOU so much Bryce for the beautiful press}

"I’m a big fan of shopping on Etsy, especially for jewelry. There’s nothing better than handmade, unique jewelry. Forgive me, but jewelry is a personal thing, and wearing the same Tiffany bracelet as everyone else is basically the fast way to say “Hey I’m stuck in 1999 and I have no sense of style.”

So, thank you, Sima Gilady. Your personalized jewelry rocks my world, and it’s almost all under $100. My personal favorite is this “My Heart is for You” necklace made of sterling silver and is somehow only $29! Holy crap, best small gift ever. Write someone’s name in Hebrew… how fun!? It’s like “Hey, I love you, and I want to write your name in a language I don’t speak.” Best friend’s birthday? Personalize a heart! Sister-in-law just got engaged? Give her a heart with her sweetie’s name! Just had a baby? Get one with your bubbeleh’s name!
