I was out jogging one day trying to think of a gift idea for a very special lady. This friend gave so much of her time, energy and encourgement to many of us involved in a group in Bragg Creek. She was inspiring and non-judgemental. She pushed us beyond our expected limits. She was there for us every time we went on our journey. What do you give someone that has given so much to so many people? The same old generic gifts are repetitive and tiring. They don’t have special meaning. That is when I came up with this idea.
Every person in our group hand selected a special stone or glass lampbead that relayed a message to our friend. The messages were touching, supportive, thankful, loving, thoughtful, and meaningful. They were personal messages that were given from the heart, in hopes that this bracelet with all it’s love would give support and inspiration to this person. Along with the bracelet was a special write up on beautiful paper, to explain the meaning of the specific details on the bracelet and a list of names associated with their stones & messages.
