Eat Pray Love Jewelry Collection

Traveling 1/2 way around the world I found myself upon my return home whole.  I was in the former colony known as Ceylon.  It was there in that magical place of elephants and temples that I would fall in love with a place and  people.  And see gems of the earth in all the colours  you could imagine.  There was the orange robes of the Buddhist monks, the smell of incense, lemongrass and sandalwood.  Wonderful fresh meals, high tea, time, time enjoyed with new friends, swimming in the Indian Ocean feeling her power and knowing it was a direct connection back home to  the Caribbean Sea.  I am finding that peace again here in the West Indies through yoga and meditation.  And I am happy that universal consciousness is here.  While here I went in search for some cool secret island finds.  The EatPrayLove Jewelry Collection uses red coral wood, dark mahogany wood stain beads, job's tears, bronze pendants and charms, semi-precious stones and handmade tassels in the colours of travel.  It is my interpretation of that spiritual journey here.

Workshops at The Wortley Home

I will be meeting with the girls of the Wortley Home tomorrow in Kingston for a workshop using the arts to nurture and empower these young women.  We will be researching histories hidden heroines and buried warrior queens through art based projects, such as beading, writing stories, costume making, painting and drawing.  Reverend Patricia Johnson from Church of the Good Shepherd says they need it.  My past experience with workshops was in Florida with the Gritty Girl camp. Tomorrow I will get to know the Wortley Home girls and learn from them and see and hear what they would like to do.
