Think about your home. Where is your favorite space? Is it the bathtub, your bedroom, outside patio? Now that you have it in your mind – why is this sacred space so special to you?

Calm quiet space within. Follow your intuition.

I think we should get into geodes, my mom says. She always has the next idea, whether it’s our jewelry design, or a retreat location. It’s as if her vision comes from the source of divine energy she taps into. I always get shivers down my spine when we are on to something. If we feel stuck on a certain project, Elizabeth finds a way to break through. 

Our final theme to conclude our month of love is to recognize that love is EVERYWHERE.

In honor of today, St. Valentine’s Day, our topic is the love you deserve. Last week it was all about, “in giving, we receive.” This week, the act of RECEIVING is our focus. Often giving may seem easier than receiving.

he other day my girlfriend showed up with a box of beautiful french pastries. Her generous act of kindness warmed my heart

A Month of Love. 4 week series: Part 1 (Self-Love)

Today, marks February 1st and St. Valentines Day is around the corner. We like to think of February as the month of LOVE.

I use the word affirmation interchangeably with sankalpa; a vow, a commitment to myself and a request to guide my choices.

While I have always known this special seed (bead) holds sacredness— I didn’t know it is believed to provide good support for those who are constantly on the move and sleep in a variety of places. This natural bead is claimed to create a cocoon made of your own energy. The belief stems from holy men and women who were constantly moving, traditionally never supposed to rest their heads in the same place twice.

We love writing e-inspirations each week. And, we especially love receiving your comments and feedback. It is your personal replies that motivate us to keep writing them. We want to do it better and we need your help.

You already have it .Embracing the new year with optimism is a beautiful idea, however it isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Who doesn’t want to be more compassionate and kind, to eat healthier, to find the sacred in every day? And, yet why is it so hard to act on these feelings? These positive ‘way of being’ that never seem to be within reach?

The Magical Joy of Giving. Our main intention for The Jewelry Project is creating abundance, so that we can use the resources to give back. In helping others, we feel we are helping ourselves too. 

Through the years we have continued to grow due to it’s original intention: To help you uncover the best part of YOU, your personal, TRUE WELL BEING.

If we look back in history, crystals and gemstones have held a revered place in our lives. They have been found in the tombs of ancient Egypt, adorning the breastplates of warriors, and sparkling in the crowns of sovereignty.

Watch how the Jewelry Project started.

I also believe the word friendship can represent the idea of supporting those who need it most. So in celebration of and in thanksgiving for friendships of all types, my guru friend Elizabeth Irvine and I have collaborated on a special bracelet that we named the Mitra bracelet. Mitra means friendship in Sanskrit. I believe we are all here to help one another and Elizabeth and I wanted to create an object that symbolizes supportive, loving energy.

A common goal comes back to the simple message. Women want to feel beautiful. We share the belief of empowering women from the inside out. Riane has great style and understands how to help women feel beautiful. She also understands the intention and meaning behind The Jewelry Project. Women supporting women.

What could be more precious than your health and well-being? Why do we find it so difficult to carve out time for ourselves, even when we know that by doing so we will be happier and healthier and everyone around us will reap the benefits? What if you held the tools to live in a way that transformed daily stress into peaceful moments, creative insight and purpose-felt action? You hold the power to live with authentic health and happiness.
