Get With the Program

I am starting to get really angry at myself right now. Let me just fill you in on a few things that have changed in my life. I was in a relationship for 3 years. That relationship ended about a week ago. Because I could already sense that this was going to happen, a week before it actually happened, I have been in this really weird state. I keep telling myself that I'm fine, I don't want to dwell on it, I'm over it, I'll move on. But I don't think I'm being really honest with myself. I haven't really eaten much of anything in the past two weeks, which I know isn't healthy and is definitely the cause of my lack of energy. Anyways, moving on....

I am now a single mother who just wants to enjoy life and catch up on the life that I feel like I've missed out on for the past 3 years. I want feel free, not depressed. I want to be inspired by life around me, not confused. I know that jewelry is my passion and I have a chance to live and breath this jewelry obsession and enjoy this time in my life. But I found my self being very uninspired. I haven't made any new jewelry in the past 2 weeks since this whole relationship issue surfaced. I'm trying to get back on track but I just want to sit around and think about how wonderful life is going to be, from this day forward. I guess this is my way of dealing with this new change and trying to adjust to my new life as a single mom.

Everyone keeps asking about my jewelry, how am I going to spread the word to more people, am I going to sell my jewelry in bulk to other stores, am I going to open up my own boutique, where can they buy jewelry online. These questions are so overwhelming and I don't know how to begin to address these questions with an honest answer. I want to do all of these things, but I'm still lost and confused as to where to start! All I know is that I love making jewelry. I love taking different pieces and putting them together to create something new that is original and can't be found anywhere else. I love the feeling that I get when I sit down to start a piece, rip it apart, put it back together, and come up with something amazing! That is why I love jewelry. You never know what will come out of your mis-matched creation, but the end result is always spectacular. I love expressing myself through my jewelry, and I refuse to give up, just because of one little bump (or two) in the road. Please stay tuned, I will bring more one-of-a-kind creations your way. Thanks for supporting me thus far, and please continue to follow me on this jewelry journey.
