Lately my mind hasn’t been clear due to personal things that’s going on with my family. I’ve been wondering why things happen the way they happen even though I’m not suppose to think this way. I’ve also been wondering how people that are back stabbers and snakes walk around so normal. I’ve just been praying for God to clear my mind and to keep me focus on the important things in my life. People will call me or e-mail me and go straight to a question, no hi how are you. Everyone always looks to me  because of my strength, but I’m human too and sometimes people forget…

 When I’m sad I normally look at my daughters and they instantly brighten up my day. When I’m alone I look down at these two special bracelets and I know I’m special and loved:) I love this pic because my daughter was looking down at me (and it also shows both bracelets clearly) with admiration. You can tell I’m looking at someone special.

When you’re down try to think of the treasures in your life.

I get a lot of questions about the significance of these two bracelets and why I never take them off. The green jade bracelet was given to me by my play mom Kim. When I was a young girl I was very independent. I would walk to the nail shop every two weeks to get my nails and feet done at the age of 14 with the money I made from doing hair in my moms kitchen. The owner of the nail shop took a liking to me. She always said “three’s something about you that’s special and you are wise for your age. When you come in the shop everyone is curious about you, even grown women ask me about you.” She also told me to be careful.

One day when I walked into her shop she told me she had a gift for me. I had just turned 19. Before I opened it I was thankful because she didn’t have to buy me a gift.  It was a tiny jade bracelet. She then called one of her employees to help her oil it on my hand. She told me it would shrink with time and the lighter it gets the better luck you’ll have. She’s Vietnamese so it’s apart of her culture. She also said it’s bad luck when you buy them for yourself. It never came off my wrist since that day. The nail shop is quite a distance from where I live now, but I call and check on her and she holds a special place in my heart;)

My Cartier love bracelet was given to me by my husband. It’s engraved with something special on the inside and I hold this bracelet dear to my heart… I can’t take it off unless we use the device that it came with. I recently got it polished and when I got home to put it back on I lost a screw. Getting one made asap:)

 Finally got around to sharing this with you.

Tip of the day: The fear of what hasn’t happened yet is pointless…
