Be An Everyday Warrior

Sometimes you need a reminder of just how strong you are (or could be!)

Hello, Gorgeous!

Today is Veterans Day in the U.S., a day when we honor military veterans of all wars. It’s a good reminder to thank those who fought for the freedoms far too many take for granted. And if you’re a current or past member of the military, I thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Since this isn’t a place for politics or ponderous thoughts, I’ll move things along.

Is anyone in your life the ultimate warrior? A few people I know immediately spring to mind.

And if you or someone you know

could use a boost of courage to unleash their warrior spirit, you should check out The Warrior collection by Goddaughters.

Wearable art for the soul

I’m a huge fan of designer Angela Deegan’s spiritual art as jewelry. From the brand motto —wearable art for the soul— to the inspiration and design and intention of every single piece, Deegan elevates the act of creating jewelry. As stated on her website “Much of our inspiration comes from the simplicity of nature and the complexity of life.”

World events can feel overwhelming for many of us right now. And sometimes something as small as a talisman reminder of what a warrior you are —or could be— might be the existential treat you might need.

Wander around the Goddaughters’ website if you have some time or are looking for a unique holiday gift ideas. There’s so much gentle inspiration there in Deegan’s lovely designs.

So do you have any pieces of jewelry* that always make you feel better? I’d love to hear about it in the comment section.

*I have a gorgeous Odin ring gifted to me by Angela a few years back that definitely increases my feelings of badassery when needed!
