I am en-route from my winter home in the Florida Keys to my summer home in southwest  Colorado.  Driving through this great big country, I am in awe of the beauty of nature I see passing before me.  As I look out the window I see lots and lots of color. Mostly green.  All shades of green.  I begin to associate the colors with the energy of gemstone beads and before I know it am designing gemstone necklaces in my mind.  I am seeing the light yellow green of Peridot mixing with a deeper shade of Green with Jade add in some brown pearls and the field of freshly planted corn comes alive in a new gemstone necklace.  More Peridot now added with yellow citrine reflects the green pasture that is beaming with yellow flowers.
The sky has been stormy for some of this trip and I am reminded of  some nicely faceted Labradorite beads  with color flashes of gold for the lightening that lights up the distant sky.  As we were driving out of the Keys, the water was all shades of blue-green, melting into the deeper shades of blue reflecting in the sky.  I would choose Chrysoprase, Sodalite, and bright blue Turquoise for that necklace.
I love it when nature can inspire me to create unique one of a kind necklaces with such ease. 
As soon as I set up my bead studio I will put some of these nature designs into form with my collection of gemstone beads.

Its time to make the shift from scarcity, lack, and fear to abundance and prosperity. I hardly ever watch the news these days. There is too much emphasis of the bleak economy, doom and gloom. I see this reflected in the people I talk with.

Thank goodness there are many people choosing to see the wonderful opportunity these times offer. Lets move into a positive space of spiritual change. Lets choose to see all that is good in our lives, to focus on gratitude and appreciation. To keep life simple, and enjoy what we already have rather than look at what is lacking.

It is with this intention that I created the Abundance and Prosperity Jewelry.

Abundance Jewelry

 I wanted to design jewelry that would bring the wearer back to balance. A reminder of all the richness that exists in life and from that place move forward to create more abundance. I wanted to create these pieces using high quality gemstones and still be able offer them at a very affordable price. Using various size Citrine and green Jade, I now offer the necklace for under $30.00 and the bracelet for $15.00. If you are interested in purchasing these pieces please go to my web site: www.spiralsoflight.com/healing-jewelry.html

The longer we believe these thoughts about the lack of money in our economy and in our lives the longer we will be affected by the situation.

Make the shift, move into abundance.

I especially like these words from Swami Beyondanada:

“As surely as the sun comes up every morning, we have more abundant wealth than we know what to do with. Wealth is energy, and how that energy is used.

Not only have we been given solar energy to grow our food and power our lives, we’ve been given soul energy as well – to use and magnify our resources wisely. With the collapse of the house of credit cards economy, we can finally get real. We can use the two most underdeveloped resources on the planet, love and imagination, to re-grow our Garden and have a heaven of a time doing it.”—_{^{Steve Bhaerman/Swami Beyondananda}}
