“MY MORNING RITUAL”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…………………Now that the weather is warm I have a morning ritual…………..I take my bowl of cheerios mixed with corn flakes outside, and sit in my rocking chair……and look at the Long Island Sound……This morning the sky was a little over caste so the sun wasn’t sparkling on the water, but the water was as calm as a lake, and so beautiful…..not a ripple……….not a SOUND……The silence was so calming……..All I could hear was the bell on the buoy way off in the distance. You can actually see the buoy in the photo. It’s the little vertical speck to the right of the center of the photo.

……………………….The ANNIVERSARY BANGLE is BACK……but this time with a new inscription…………..”INNER BEAUTY IS WHAT COUNTS”……….In a world where too much attention is placed on the way you look, and the “standards of beauty” are impossible to reach for the majority of women and YOUNG girls…..In a world where young women are judged, criticized, and sometimes bullied for the way they look….where social media can be cruel and demoralizing…it is more important than ever that we must impress upon young girls that INNER BEAUTY is so much more important…..That is the reason I had this new inscription created……Me must remind young women what is truly important, and we must do everything in our power to have them BELIEVE it!…..My hope with this new bangle, and its’ message is to be a reminder of what’s important!……The new bangle is available right now on the Linea QVC jewelry site……It’s avail in STERLING SILVER ONLY in three sizes…….small…..average…..and large…….J422008 is the style number……This is a perfect gift for you, and the perfect graduation gift….especially for young ladies who are off to college and university, and for many their first time away from home…….Wearing this bangle will remind them what’s important!

…………………..It’s that wonderful time of year again when the……LILY OF THE VALLEY…….. are in bloom. Every spring I look to see how much they have spread, and they are doing wonderfully……They are the “MAY FLOWER” so Jac was especially fond of them. Her mother loved them too and always had bottles of Lily of the Valley perfume……….I plucked some, and mixed them with some lilac blooms. I have them on my kitchen window sill so I can always smell their intoxicating fragrance.
