(Who is that vision of beauty???)
So you all know that really i am quite crazy, and apparently not looking too great in this photo op!! Ha Ha! I was reading it (i love the Ellen show), and it just spoke to me when i read the interview with Ellen and Oprah! You know, Ellen seems like such a genuine person and she has always been someone i love since i have such a love for animals as well. The reason i had to run to the computer and write this little ditty (well, not a ditty, but it sounded good) is because there were two quotes in this article that really spoke to my heart. We have all had ups and downs in our lifetime and some of them not so good. I have had some personal struggles from some really horrible incidents in my lifetime and I have always tried to remember that they have built character in me and have made me the person i am today whether it was hard or not. Soooo (there’s a point to all of this), when i saw these two quips, i had to share!!!!
The first one is on page 225 of the December Issue:
“Personality can open doors but only character can keep them open!” ~ author unknown to me
The second one is on page 276:
“Cracks in your heart let the sun shine through” ~ a quip from Diane Sawyer to Ellen (Diane read it somewhere)
Soooo, what can we learn from this? That we are all human and our journey is not complete without ALL of the ups and the downs? That we should always stay true to who we are (this is what i think about the first one), or that people know when they see truth from people and shy away from the fakeness? What about the cracks, wow, that is just soooo true!
Hey, on another front I want to take a poll of my readers here in Cincinnati Ohio!! How many of you would love to order beads and then see me make it right in front of you??? Just a poll, nothing organized or anything, just wondering!!!!! Or, how about if you bought a present (a bead of course) for someone and then they get to come with you and see me make it for them, maybe even a bead for them and the same bead for you, a connection between the two of you…… I don’t know, just wondering again!! Ok people, i have to stop wondering and get my behind to the studio and make beads for “The Good Life” in Surf city New Jersey!!! Have a great week! More pics at the end or maybe even the middle of the week!!!! Oh, and anyone who wants to be my friend on facebook, sign up and look for me so i can chat with you and also know what you would like to see!
