| Inner Strength Cuffs En Masse |
I was touched by this action at the time but frankly it has taken
me weeks to realize that I have done similar things in my life. I'm sure we all
have. I have definitely used jewelry to connect with other people, to reinforce
my own strength when I needed it, or to feel feelings felt long ago, as when
someone dear passed a precious piece of jewelry on to me.

| A few of my NAME pins |
I was the Madeline Albright of my office, and most people had NO
idea. I grouped pins, sometimes lots of pins, new ones, vintage ones, gifted,
ornate, bizarre, whatever worked in that moment to send covert messages of
strength or irony to both the world and myself.
Without even realizing it, I've amassed quite a collection of vintage
name pins, pins that carry the names of strong women I have known. If I had a
meeting that I was nervous about, I would group several of those pins on my
blouse or jacket, and feel empowered
by the strength of those women before me. It may seem silly, but, whatever it
takes sister!

| WONDER WOMAN |
Society thinks of jewelry as an accessory, an adornment,
something “pretty" and frivolous. Sound familiar? It should because that’s the way women have been thought
of. What about Wonder Woman and those giant wrist cuffs of hers? Her POWER jewelry! We tend to forget that metal and stones are
energy conductors. I see jewelry as both: your personal
power conductor and an adornment to your life. Go ahead, use whatever you can
find to embolden yourself, be who you want to be, express yourself. You may
only get one life, make the most of it!

| YinYang World Sterling & Copper necklace |
Warrior Shield represents this idea of power
conductivity. Copper delivers electricity. Power! And let's face it, we all
need the protection of a good solid shield
from time to time, especially if you're brazen enough to stand up for justice
and freedom (speaking of Wonder Woman here, of course).
YinYang World speaks for itself: different sides brought together
and held together by the power of a copper thread. Connections bring us together and make us
stronger. That's not a bad message to send to the world.
