    “The birth of a Pearl is a wondrous event. A particle of sand, piece of a shell, or foreign object drifts into the Oyster’s body and the oyster begins to secrete layers of nacre (Mother-of-Pearl) around the irritant. Over time, the layers transform into a glowing one-of-a-kind Pearl. Pearls have taught me about gratitude and nature’s wisdom. How many of us are able to take a challenge, as Oysters do, and find the gift in it? It isn’t always easy to find the positive in the hardships we endure, but in time beauty is often revealed. When we assimilate what we have learned from the difficulties we have overcome, we can then celebrate them as blessings and continue to grow. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful. Pearls can help us feel beautiful on the outside, while we practice embracing the challenges on the inside.” I’d like to share our Treasured Gems with you: Gem #1: Everything happens to us for a reason, from which I can learn and grow. Gem #2: Trusting my intuition and a power greater then myself provides the best guidance. Gem #3: All I have is today. Let me make today a fully alive day. Gem #4: I will take full responsibility for my choices and not feel responsible about the choice of others. Gem #5: I will not hurt others, instead I will use compassion and always use respect. Gem #6: When I treat myself as a priority, I am better able to deal with life’s challenges.
