New Medicine Jewelry

I'm getting geared up to create some new jewelry pieces. As I create "medicine" jewelry, pieces intended to work with you to enhance your own energy and work with your intentions for your life.. I'm coming to you to ask what are your needs?

I love working to bring forth jewelry that really makes a difference in the lives of the people who wear it. What issues are important to you right now?
What are the main issues you are dealing with at the present moment?
If I could create something just for you what would it help you with, what would it help you to do, be, have?

The process of inspiration includes you.. the person the jewelry is created for. I hope you'll take a few moments and leave a comment about your thoughts and ideas on this subject.

Remembering perfection,
Donna

New beads new creations

I love creating jewelry. The balancing of color, stones, metals into a piece of art that feels good is a joy to me. My joy is increased when someone comes along and loves it and enjoys wearing it. I recently got in a new box of beads and here are some of my newest creations. I list most of these on ebay.. check it out and if you love something just bid or purchase from the store.

New Thoughts New Reality

Think new thoughts, new reality.

I read recently that we have about 60,000 thoughts a day.. wow that’s exciting. What’s more interesting to me is that 90% of them are old thoughts. We seem to get stuck in thought habits where we rehash the same material over and over again. With all this rethinking going on, it’s no wonder that most of us experience the same or very similar life experiences.

Our thoughts are alive, they are energy. Our mind and body takes notice of and works to bring about those things we think about. The longer we think a certain scenario the more likely we are to encounter it as an actual experience. Our thoughts are bouncing about all the time, even while we sleep. Personally the sleeping thoughts are the most insightful for me. As I awake I lay still and listen to the thoughts running through my head. I am often surprised to find worry thoughts, anger thoughts, depressing thoughts there. I know that I have to reclaim my mind and my thought life.

Change for most of us is something we resist. However, only by changing our thoughts can we really find ourselves free from all the thoughts that keep us in limited experiences. Take the example of the elephant who is trained from being held by a chain to a large tree to finally a small rope on a twig. He believes himself trapped and doesn’t attempt to free himself.

How often are we as adults held by a tiny rope of thought we learned and accepted as children. We adopted others opinions of ourselves and how life is supposed to work. We find ourselves frustrated by our lives and wonder why.. why.. The why is found in our thought patterns.

Spend a week or two being aware of your thoughts. Stop now and again what you are doing and listen to the information running around your head. Once you are aware of the type of thoughts you are having, make a conscious decision to change your thoughts.

I have challenged myself to change my world by changing my thoughts. I begin the day being aware of what I am thinking. Once I locate an area of thought which is a rerun of the past I pay attention to rethinking that situation in my life. For instance, if you are worried about a bill not yet paid, change your thinking to being thankful for the bills that you have paid.
Changing worries to blessings is a very empowering way of changing your reality by changing your thoughts.
If your toe hurts, change your thoughts to be thankful for the toe and for all of your body. This type of thinking directs the body to create more to be thankful for. This works by programming us to be aware of the blessings in our lives and being thankful. Our mind begins to create in accordance with the thoughts we are having.

If you are worried about money, change your thinking by being grateful for all the money that comes into your life. Honor the money energy with thought and perhaps even a little ritual. When I pay my bills online I always take the paper bill and write all over it. PAID Yipiee Thank YOU, then tear it up and throw it away. I thank the money for being in my life. I thank the utilities for making my life comfortable.

Personally I have come to the place in my life where I don’t resist change so much, rather I welcome it. I have come to realize that resisting change is resisting new experiences. I have never been a person who enjoyed re runs on TV and don’t much care for them in my life either these days. I have reached down and released myself from the tiny rope that kept me in the same place and have walked on down the road to see what I can see. I take a new attitude and new thoughts with me to create a new experience.

My 5oth birthday brought about many changes in my thinking. I began to realize how limited I was in my life. I did the same things the same way I had done for years. I opened my arms to new experiences and challenge myself daily to new thoughts and new experiences. Will you take the new thought challenge with me?

Technology and Human Touch

You have found a great place to build a website. Perhaps you have uploaded your pictures and priced your products. You may be asking yourself, "now what"?
The internet has changed greatly since I first got online in 1996. Back then I was one of a very few who sold handcrafted items online. When I first started selling on ebay I sold items about as quickly as I could list them. I was even there when Paypal started up and made online payments quick and easy. I was tickled when they made a statement in an email that they would not be gobbled up by the Ebay Monster. LOL
Here we are several years down the road and guess who Paypal belongs to? You got it.. Ebay.

The first Delphi and Yahoo groups I started years ago are still up and running. I made some really great friends and shared a great deal about my life with these people. We even exchanged phone numbers and gifts during the holidays. There were no scams, phishing or exploiting of our infomation.

I have watched the changes on the internet, and like the changes in my business and personal life, rolled with them. I have learned from them great lessons about myself and my resistance to change. I am much better at rolling with the punches than when the change first started. I hung on doing things the same way I always had and watching them not be very productive.

Now we come to blogging. This is a good change. It gives us a chance to share with our customers on a person to person level. We really need this personal touch as most of us are frustrated by calling a phone number and doing the loop round a round of if you wish to do this, push a number. I have held my head and yelled.. " I just want to talk to a human being" on more than one occassion.

My take on my business is friendly. I desire to know those who purchase my creations. I create from a place of spiritual insight, a place of learning and sometimes these lessons are harder than others. I am not a Master living in the mountains, but a Master in training, living with my child, pets and sharing what I learn with others.
I don't come close to "knowing it all", but I do know more today at 50 than ever before. I choose to reach out to my customers. I am interested in them and their lives. Many of my creations come from conversations with real people living real lives.

I hear a song now and again that says" I just want some touch".
With all the computers.. which I dearly enjoy.. we are leaving out a very important part of our life experience.. touching one another. We crave a human hug, kiss, pat on the back and listening ear. I hope to touch your life with my creations. My desire is to let you feel the joy I experience in using stones and crystals to create a piece of jewelry which brings a healing or comforting property into your life.

My dolls are created to bring magic into your life. My hope is that the energy comes together in such a way that you are inspired to open yourself to more joy, more love and more fun. I create from where I am.. where I have been and where I hope to walk. May you be blessed by my blessings.

Healing Gemstone Jewelry

The use of stones and crystals for healing, balance, love has been around forever. As a collector of stones and crystals and a GIYAME healer it was natural for me to use the properites of stones in jewelry designs.
The picture shown uses Turquoise, know as the "Master Healer of Stones", combined with Rose Quartz for love, emotional healing and gentleness.. accented with Amethyst for spiritual insight, guidance, peace and calm.

Wear original gemstone jewelry that makes a difference.
I don't duplicate designs.. as each piece is unique and original. I also create custom pieces.Visit my website for jewelry.www.LyonZPath.net
