“My value is greater than my body.” ~ Princess Lasertron On the heels of Artful Giving weekend, where I was praying people would like and purchase my new Maraviglia pendants, Princess Lasertron posted a Radvent about Self-worth. This post is flashing me back to last year’s Radvent on Style and Wrapping. And like last year, my […]
“In general I think it’s a mistake to be really, really sure about anything because the only thing you can know for sure is that things change. However, just because things change doesn’t mean you can’t live according to a set of beliefs. Even without knowing things for sure, holding on to our own truth […]
“There is no feeling better than realizing you are living the life you want to live.†~ Maike’s Marvels It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but I am filled with gratitude every day.
