This 5 lb box of findings arrived at my house yesterday ... yep all mixed together just like the photo ... needing to be sorted out to use in my jewelry ... it made me think that I kind of feel the same way .... a little unravelled some days... finding my way ... some days i feel like i am on autopilot ... coasting along ... other days i feel overwhelmed with JOY living my DREAM ... some days are pretty SCARY ... leaping fearlessly into the unknown ...... 
(gems purchased from Tucson gem show i recently attended)hoping i can land with my two feet firmly on the ground .... and making the right decisions for myself , my business and my family......
so i have decided to take a bigger LEAP .... I have finally hired a FULL time Personal Assistant to help me with the business side , to make sure things run smoother , to help me stay organized ... and make sure orders , inventory and the everyday things can function... it was TIME .... It was a DREAM and now i feel very BLESSED to say that my Sister n law can actually join me in my JOURNEY .... I can't be sure what the FUTURE will hold ... but all i can do is have FAITH ... that good things will come .... 
say hello to Heather ... my right hand gal and now Personal Assistant !!! Thanks Heather for joining me in the JOURNEY !!!xo,
