Living my Authentic-Self: My Journey so far........


It has been a busy month...... First of all I've been away working on a Jewelry partnership with a  business called "Backstage Beauty" (https://www.facebook.com/backstagebeauty4u (like this page please).The Jewelry is metaphysical with a fashion twist. So a little back story on how all this came to be. When I first started Spiritual-U https://www.facebook.com/spiritual.u1 ("like" my page if you haven't :) I didn't expect it to go as far as a blog and Facebook page however slowly it started forming it's own identity. Let me tell you a little bit about my journey,coming from a small community I was sheltered and never really experienced living life. Not until I moved to Fresno did I realize I wasn't living my authentic-self. Now Authentic-Self means finding who you truly are and not who society expects you to be. For me it's always been about embracing my spirituality and spreading my message about reaching your higher-self. Along that path came deciding how am I going to make this my life? My intuition has always drawn me to charms,amulets and talismans,my thoughts were to create pouches filled with herbs,stones and notions then charged with intention. My partner was trying to help me make it more appealing he suggested necklaces when he saw me tinkering with my ideas. He came up with fashionable meets metaphysical for the women who wants something with purpose but doesn't want it looking like a stone on a string. We played with the idea and came up with " From the Cauldron to the Catwalk" A Jewelry Line with Purpose. The four intentions are Goddess, Warrior, Love and Spirit each charged with intention and Reiki by yours truly.Coming up with prototypes wasn't easy thanks to my love he worked his butt off putting it together after that we started working on each individual piece. Then came the photo shoot for the collection I was in awe how good everything turned out.We had our big preview show on March 17th the turn out was great the reaction was just what we wanted everyone loved it, and they never seen anything like it, we sold quite a few pieces that night. From here my partner and I realized that we had something special. So the moral of this story is to break your mold and don't feel you have to conform to what everyone expects you to do or be. Find a way to be your authentic self and do what you love. Ultimately all you have to do is think outside the box. What makes you special?  How can  you do what makes you happy?Really think about it and try finding your Authentic-Self today.
