It's September and for many, this is a time of new beginnings, moves, starting a new job or travelling. This year continues to be one of emotional upheaval and change.

For the past while, I have been contemplating about where I am in my life and what brings joy, personally and professionally. As a creative woman in her 70's, it's constantly evolving. Through it all, my passion for creating jewelry remains constant. What keeps evolving is how much I want it to be part of my life.

I look at each day as a fresh start and am excited about what the future holds.

This season, I am stepping back a bit to do some reflecting and some long awaited travel abroad. The summer was full of opportunities to re-connect with friends and family after plans got put on hold because of Covid and caregiving responsiblities. Things have changed and time became available.

I am hoping that travels to France, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands will fill me up with inspiration galore. For now, my tank is almost empty. Stay tuned.

Still trying to figure out who to be - a lifelong journey.
