Maui Nuptials

This Sacred Embers was created for a beautiful woman that was recently married.  Her mom collected some sand from the spot on the beach where the couple stood and exchanged their vows.  The pendant represents the Maui ocean and sunset and the beauty of their union.

In honor of Tao

Yesterday I delivered a Sacred Embers to a woman that is a dog rescue person.  (Someone that I think has the biggest of hearts).  Tao was only 6 months old when he had to be put down because he was deemed to be too timid.  He really just needed a longer adjustment time. 

When she brought me the ashes of Tao the pain was so very apparent.  She brought me a picture to see, he was beautiful.  I created this ring for her and the color of the glass is a reminder of Tao's coloring.  I pray that the ring, when she looks at it on her finger reminds her of the precious work that she does and the love that Tao had because of her.

Neverending Love

I just presented a woman with her Sacred Embers honoring her husband & best friend. She got this Sacred Embers for her husband's sister for her birthday. You can still feel the neverending love that she has for him.  She shared so many beautiful stories about her husband.  How lucky am I to be able be the recipient of these memories.......

Closure

When someone loses a person or pet in their life to death, for whatever reason, there is a void left.  There are so many thoughts & memories.  Sometimes, even anger for the "leaving".  And of course there is the sadness & heartfelt pain.  Take peace in knowing that your lost one will always be with you.  When the vessel, or body can no longer survive, the spirit lives on!  Take time to mourn, find closure and allow yourself to have sad moments, but know that "they" wouldn't want you to continue to be sad.  They love you and want you to continue on with life.  You will never forget them, that's not a possibility. 

I can tell you from personal experience that it is never easy, but I know they would hope for more smiles than tears of sorrow. 

Smile when you think of them and live life!
