Über mich

Translation please...

Arete(pronounced ahr-eh-tay)...indefinable. Understood only from within. Excellence within oneself. That ONE Thing you are good at. The One thing you are meant to do...supposed to do. The ONE Thing that DEFINES YOU. This is Arete.

Become what you are...

**In March of 2004, my mother sent me a clipping of my birthday horoscope, just as she did every year. As usual, I skimmed over it and stuck it in a drawer, not giving it much thought...

The next month, she died, unexpectedly.

I have always been a creative person and tend to seek new avenues of creativity when times are tough. That summer I began making record album purses to try and keep my mind off my loss. My purses became a hit and I sold quite a few. I even toyed with the idea of starting my own business. But with life's demands of raising a teenaged son and working full time, I dismissed it as a dream and purse production stopped.

One breakup, a miserable job, and a year later, I began creating jewelry with some stained glass shards that had been lying around the house. Once again, my designs became a hit. I couldn't go anywhere without someone commenting on them. I would literally sell them off of my neck.

'Something' kept telling me that this is it...that this is what I'm supposed to do.

That same 'Something' lead me to pull out that old horoscope. And there it was...

..."A project done well in June will
push you into a new career realm"...

hmmm, I thought...it was June of that year when I made my first purse...

I knew then that this is what I am supposed to do. I never looked back...I took the leap, formed my own business and have never been happier.

I encourage everyone to discover their talents and follow their dreams. It makes all the difference in the world!!

What a beautiful shop. I wish you good luck, and that everything that you read in your horoscope get's true. Life goes sometimes strange ways.
By the way I really like Florida. I lived in Ft. Meyers in the 80s for about a year and a few month.

j'ai reçu ce matin, les colliers que j'avais commandé. L'envoi est rapide (une grosse semaine, le temps de faire le voyage de Floride en France). Le travail est délicat et ravissant. Le suivi est fait avec beaucoup de gentillesse et d'attentions. Un gros merci.

My Dear...Your personal story in your Profile touches me so very much!
Both, the mystery of last advice from your mother given in that strange way, but also your words for people like us: Just to do what we are meant for and to give the world the very best of us....I believe this will always stay in my heart and mind. And this is exactly how I myself found my profession! You reminded me, thank you!

Your work is so very moving, one can feel a deep "message" in every single piece. It "hits" the heart directly! I believe your mother watches you from somewhere. Go on like this! I wish you the very best!
