Do you know your life mission? Do you wish you knew your life mission?
Relax, my friend. I’m right there with you. While I’m waiting for my life mission to be revealed, if it is to be revealed, The Love and Kindness Initiative is a fine way for me to feel like I’m currently on mission.
It feels wonderful to be on mission. We feel we’re making a positive difference in the world instead of taking up time and space. Looking for and thanking people for being love and kindness in the world is a mission to uplift humanity we all can call our own.
What does watching a video of a lovely pond have to do with determining a life mission? I invite you to spend the next couple of minutes watching and answering that question for yourself. I’ll save your virtual seat for you here.
Welcome back! On to today’s topic: Love the bracelet now, love it more when it breaks!
I invite you to read the website page with the same title if you’re wondering what kind of warped advertising strategy I’m using. I’m far from being a strategist, and I’m even farther from being an advertising maven. I am, however, Instigator for The Love and Kindness Initiative. I’m on mission. Your bracelet, therefore, has another purpose after it has adorned the wrist of your choice.
Four years ago, I was given a bracelet of silver heart beads that had been strung on a stretchy cord. I’d wanted to sell some old jewelry to raise money to pay some bills and found a very nice man whose business was buying old jewelry. The man told me the jewelry was only worth $25, many hundreds of dollars less than what the giver had told me was the jewelry’s value. He understood my situation, he apologized for not being able to give me more money, and he offered the bracelet as his gift. What a lovely man!
I loved wearing the bracelet. It was a gift of love and kindness.
And then it broke.
I blamed myself for having not treated the bracelet with the love and kindness it deserved. I took the bracelet to someone who repairs broken bracelets. He restrung the beads on extra strong stretchy cord. I promised myself to treat the bracelet better. I cherished that bracelet each time I slipped it on and each time I slipped it off.
The bracelet broke again.
When I was able to accept that the bracelet wasn’t supposed to last (don’t ask me how long THAT took!), I began considering how I could repurpose the heart beads. Who said the bracelet had to keep being a bracelet? It could have a new life as individual hearts given from my heart to the heart of someone I wanted to celebrate!
With that story in mind:
Aloha, pretty bracelet! And Aloha, pretty future gifts of individual heart beads honoring The Love and Kindness Initiative!
When the stretchy cord on your pretty bracelet breaks, as it inevitably will, the pretty heart beads can go to people you want to celebrate. Give a single heart bead away or put together an assortment of heart beads in a little organza drawstring bag, like the bag that houses your bracelet.
Speak your heart’s truth as you hand them your heart or hearts. Allow all the love in your heart and all the gratitude in your heart to flow towards them as you thank someone or multiple someones for being love and kindness in your life and in our world.
Be specific in your appreciation. People love to be noticed.
When you see the look in the eyes of others, when you feel the appreciation in your own heart, you will understand how special it is to share your hearts with others.
I now look forward to my bracelets breaking so I can share the love and kindness with others. I hope you will, too.
In this moment, let’s be on mission together.
This Bracelet From Heart combines Abalone hearts with Green Opal spacer beads. The colors of the Abalone heart beads change in different lights. The colors are spectacular.
If you’re a beginning meditator who has difficulty quieting your brain, focus your attention on one of the Abalone hearts. I am one of many people who feels peaceful wearing Abalone. If you’re a beginning meditator in search of peace, Abalone might help.
Once you shut off your brain, meditating is easy. Don’t think, just be. Thinking gets in the way of admiring the hearts as they shimmer in the changing light. Thinking gets in the way of watching the hearts change color. Just be with the hearts as they do what they do. Just be with the hearts until your brain says you’re done.
You can now go back to overthinking. Your brain will thank you for having had the mini vacation.
The Green Opal faceted round spacer beads are said to bring healing to those who grieve or to those who are holding emotional damage. Faceted beads are said to emit stronger energy than beads that aren’t faceted. These Green Opal beads are faceted.
I hope you feel supported by your new Abalone and Green Opal friends. I hope they support you in fulfilling this part of your life mission.
The ceramic heart focal bead is a big bead hiding the knot that keeps the bracelet together. Feel free to meditate on the markings of the focal bead if it’s easier for you to focus on the markings of a big bead.
Every Bracelet From Heart is charged with healing energy. I facilitate energy healing work; wearing your Bracelet From Heart is one way to receive loving and kind energy.
This Bracelet From Heart will only be available for purchase from 13 June through 26 June 2019. I’ll be offering another Bracelet From Heart on 27 June; any remaining bracelets will be repurposed. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
This Bracelet From Heart comes in five different sizes: extra small (6.75 inches), small (7.25 inches), medium (7.75 inches), large (8.25 inches), and extra large (8.75 inches). If you need another size, just let me know.
The price in USD for all sizes of this Bracelet From Heart is $40.00 per bracelet plus $7.00 shipping by USPS First Class Mail. Your $7.00 shipping charge is good for shipping one to four bracelets in a single padded mailer bag anywhere in the US. If you live elsewhere, or if you want the bracelet to go elsewhere, or if you want the bracelet to travel faster, let me know and I’ll quickly get back to you with pricing and delivery options.
I expect it’s much easier for you to touch a couple of computer keys to place your order in the website store. I really wish my post-stroke brain was healed enough today to figure out what I need to do to use the website store. I’m keeping the store as it is, working towards the day when it will do what you and I want it to do. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
I hope you understand why buying a Bracelet From Heart right now will be a little different. It’s easy, but it’s a little different:
Step One: Send me an email at love@transformingthroughlove.com telling me how many bracelets you want, what size bracelets you want, and all I need to know to ship your order (name/address/optional phone number).
Step Two: I’ll respond via email with PayPal payment instructions. You won’t need a PayPal account to use PayPal for your order.
Step Three: Once I receive word from PayPal that your money has been received, I’ll be on my way to the post office with your order. That’s it!
The Love and Kindness Initiative is an easy life mission we all can make our own. Find someone to celebrate for all the good they do in your life and in our world and say thank you.
Repeat often.
Let’s do this together.
