Jim uses special days to add to my September birthstone collection. The necklace matches my birthday ring.
Those who know me may question my faith because growing up, I did not wear jewerly. I still have to fight the urge to cover my necklace with my hands when someone comments how pretty it is.
In my mind I hear the words, "Grandma was right. I'm just another Jezebel."
In my book, Dusty Angels and Old Diaries, there is a story abut the first dress I ever bought. It was soft white with a gathered skirt, long sleeves and dainty flowers embroidered on the front. I hurried home to show my beautiful dress to grandma, but she got very angry and made me hide it away because she said it didn't completely cover my knees.
I tell this story because many times I meet other woman who have to fight the same guilty feeling about things that are completely normal and "okay".
I love pretty stones and sparkling diamonds. And, I love Jim.
Don't let old rules "rule" the special person you are!
Take Care on the Journey.
