hmmm… i was wondering who originally said “bloom where you are planted”, so i did a google search. i came upon this:
Flowers can bloom and thrive in a variety of circumstances—likewise, our lives are full of challenges and triumphs, easy times and hard ones,but we too can thrive even in difficult conditions. Make the most of your life experiences and enjoy the journey! Live an abundant life by putting your energy toward the things that are most important to you. Create your own wonderful life by maintaining your relationships with your friends and family and establishing traditions with your loved ones. Nurture yourself spiritually, mentally, and emotionally and allow time to develop your interests. Fill your heart with love, and serve those around you. As you balance all of life’s demands, bloom where you are planted, and experience the abundant life.
i can’t find a source, but i am “borrowing it.” i don’t think i can say it any better. a beautiful faceted amethyst sits in the center of a sterling silver bloom, created from layers of silver sheet. a fabulous, puffy prehnite leaf accompanies the flower and two lanterns adorn the chain. it measures 20″, but is adjustable.
