be still

'courage doesn't always roar. 

sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end

of the day saying, 

'i will try again tomorrow.''

~ mary ann radmacher

it's there if you listen earrings... calming, empowering... wear your affirmation to grow quiet and listen to your inner voice...

'listen' is set in resin with a concave surface as one has to turn inside and dig deep at times... the paper was left unprotected and so is a bit darker - also reflecting quietude... 

'voice' has been preserved with some dried seeds... seeds to remind you of your potential for growth and of opportunity... use of faceted african opal (which is just so very beautiful), vintaj brass and bezels from objects and elements... 

this can be an overwhelming time of year... while joyous, it also places upon many extra demands created by heightened expectations... it can be hard to get through the day and when the day passes you merely feel like you have one less to accomplish your goals... take a moment, be still, breathe... enjoy what the holiday season really means to you & set aside all else for just a bit...
