    How a Pandora Charm Helped Me

    Originally published on Medium.com Jan 12, 2020.

    A few years back when the Pandora bracelet was all the rage, there was an offer in buying a certain amount of product to received a free new bracelet.

    I’m all in for a bargain! I choose the Essence Collection. And the charm that that caught my attention and called to me was the wisdom charm. I liked the way it looked, and I liked the meaning.

    I was at a point where I needed some wisdom — going through what I was facing, which was a big challenge and some big changes.

    In receiving the bracelet/charm, there was a card enclosed which read:

    You gain through experience. Every episode in life is of value….

    I cannot tell you how powerful those words were to me — and how much I really needed to hear that! I felt it was a sign. A sign in a Pandora store of all places….

    Who knew that free bracelet would have priceless advice?!

    It reminded me once more that I needed to trust the process of life. That what was happening was happening not ‘to’ me but ‘for’ me.

    In hindsight, that scary time was actually kind of a beautiful time! I look back and see that what I went through tested me. At that point, it was out of my hands. I had to turn strongly to my faith and had to trust not only the process, but the person who came forward to help me…

    …And I had to do some work on myself. I was so worried and wasn’t sleeping. I decided to spend time and money with courses to help me understand, to evolve.

    If that challenge didn’t happen, I would not have invested in those programs, invested the time — invested in myself as I did. I would not have been as far along. I would not have grown as quickly as I did.

    I’m not perfect, no one is. I still have growing to do, but I am a better version of myself. And I’m grateful for each experience, which was there to support me in where I am now.

    In the moment, it’s hard to see the bigger picture.

    I encourage you to try — see the light among the darkness. Find a piece of the silver lining. In doing so, you can begin to move forward.

    Trust the process, find some hope.

    To not stay stuck, to go from a victim to a victor.

    To realize that like the card from Pandora, Every episode in life is of value…

    Until next time ~

    Be Well,

    The title of this article is actually a quote that I recently heard in a teleconference. A very powerful one.

    “If….Notes”

    If you would have been on this call — I think you would have felt the impact that I did.

    Brian Seth Hurst is the author of the book WHOLE. He shared on this call, a prayer that he wrote as we enter this NEW year:

    May your blessings increase and may you stop to count them each day.

    May both your good days and your bad days be filled with inspiration and love.

    May the smiles, the kindness and the time you give to others be returned in grace.

    May you remember that your presence or absence truly makes a difference.

    May you have one person who is there to believe in you even when you don’t, and to love you even when you don’t.

    May you find value in any given moment and in every person that crosses your path.

    May the peace that is deep within you well up and fill every part of you.

    May you remember that if you think you are walking in darkness, you are the light.

    May you see, feel and know that you are part of something so much larger than yourself.

    If you have been hurt may you be healed and if you have caused hurt may you be forgiven.

    May laughter and joy ring through your heart and into the world.

    May you remember to give and receive thanks.

    And may love ultimately be your reason for everything…

    What more can I say but AMEN! As he wished this for all of us on this call, I wish this for all of you that read this.

    May his words have an impact and give you hope on your journey….

    Until next time~

    Be Well,
