Checking In

Hey,

I just wanted to stop in and say hello.  Everything is going well and I am working on a ton of new projects.  I've been a little under the weather, but I'm back.  Since I have decided to stop drinking Pepsi (so sad) I may not post at night like usual, so bear with me.  To all the Mom's, "Happy Mothers Day".  That's it, and have a wonderful week.

Hugs,

Miss Kelli

The Prettier Side of Life

I think we all can agree that life is not easy, and more often than not quite complicated.  That's life.  But as I constantly have to remind myself, there is a prettier side to life.  The side I am speaking of is one of kindness and purity.  It's the moments when you feel the warm embrace of the sun, the free spirited beauty of the wind, and the lulling song of the earth.  We should all be a whole lot happier about the prettier side of life.  Think of how fortunate we all are.  Before you go to sleep at night set aside 5 minutes of time.  Allow yourself to hear the lulling of earths song. Open a window and feel the wholeness of the wind.  Until next time.

Sweet Dreams,

Miss Kelli

Checking In

Hey,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still around.  Tomorrow I will heading over to Blocks, where I will be purchasing our new roses and other flowers for the garden.  As far the collections go, everything is coming along great.  Hopefully once the weather cools down some, I will be able to finish some other projects.  Check back for more info and pictures.

Sweet Dreams,

Twenty Three Years Wiser

As I sit and reflect on the time now being 12:29 a.m. and the fact that on this very day at this very time, twenty three years ago, God was preparing me for my entrance into the world, I wonder?  I ponder whether or not I knew what I wanted to be, or who I was at the time?  Yeah that’s kind of silly.  I know.  But it’s the truth.  As I sit here right now listening to the melodic vocals of Amel Larrieux, embracing the INI, I say to the Greater Sprit, Thank You.  

We all have times in our life when we wonder why?  And more times than not how?  I myself have been guilty of this on more than 1 occasion.  But at the end of all the pondering and wondering, I know why.  Because just like everyone I have a purpose.  The Great Spirit shows me that everyday.  Even right now as I wonder what tomorrow will bring and if it means something greater?  I know I will learn a lesson that will somehow, some way make me wiser.  Fun or not.

I know tradition says not to share your wishes, but you know me.  Tradition only rules a small portion of my life.  My wish is for people to embrace and nurture one and other.  Provide a helping hand, give someone else a word or two of encouragement.  Call a friend and maybe a foe to say how are you.  Simple kindness is what I wish for.  Now keep in mind, I did not say be a door mat.  But just be kind.

In a world were there is so much trouble, there is even more greatness.  It’s within all of us.  Just search for it.  I stepped out of my comfort zone, away from the guilt of heavy weighted unhealthy responsibility, and went after my dreams.  No I’m not making the big bucks, nor am I a star, but I am living my dream.  When I look at my 96 year old Great Grand Dad, I hope that his longevity is passed on to me and that with Gods leadership and insight I can one day provide a wiser prospective to my own children and grands, and so on.  You get the drift.

This past year I have connected with family members I never really new, learned more about the greatness I have always proclaimed to come from (I was right), and of course became wiser.  As the elements line up and throw me off (we are all linked to earths energy, no weird stuff)  I feel the woman inside of me, the woman God designed me to be, come out and show herself.  It feels like just yesterday I was just a little girl with sausage curls, and here I am today a woman.  

Thank you to every one who has added to this journey, and to those in the future I thank you in advance.  I will continue to embrace who I truly am, my African, American Indian, and  French European blood.  I love who I am, and I thank the truly wiser spirit for giving  me the gift of creativity, and warmth.

Off to get some much needed rest and then have organic two layer cake.  Yes!  Look for more pictures and new items.

Remember to always embrace who you are.  If a history loving, cottage style loving little person like me can do it, so can you.

Happy Birthday April Babies!

Sweet Dreams,

Miss Kelli

Pretty Things to Come

Hey,

Just stopping in to say hello.  Hope everyone is doing well.  I'm working my buns off, trying to get everything ready and in order.  My web classes finally began so that's something else added to my plate.  Of course I am also working hard to get all of the new lines ready for sale.  Check out the new header.  Not perfect, but it's to the point.  Please visit the Boutique to see new items.  The new handbag you see in the header is apart of the Tickle Your Fancy Chic collection.  It's been waiting for it's debut.  The bags will run about $50.00 each, and are even prettier in person.  I'm taking pre-orders by e-mail.  Send your request to bijoubeauteintltd@yahoo.com.  As always be blessed and have a wonderful week.  By the way Mom gave me a new SLR for my B-Day.  Thanks Mom!
