Let us live life with grateful hearts.
   Happy Thanksgiving from The Gilded Gypsies!

Be the Light

Each of us has a gift and talents which we can share with others. Smile at the people walking past you. Compliment the checkout person at the grocery store. Joke with the people who are serving you at a restaurant. Make somebody's day. We don't know what private battle each person is fighting. You may be the only bright spot in their day, so make it count!

Each day I climb the stairs to my studio I pray that God will use me as a tool to shine the light to others. It doesn't cost any money. It only requires being your genuine self and authentically sharing your happiness or creativity with one another. Particularly as women we need to support one another and cheer each other on! Don't be afraid of people "stealing" your ideas. Nobody can take your brain and the unlimited potential and stream of creativity you possess. YOU know what you've designed and created. If somebody copies you, consider it flattery and pity the fact that they can't come up with their own original ideas or creations. Be secure in the fact that you are UNIQUE.

Go forth and shine the light for others to see. It's contagious! YOU are one in a million, just like the stars in the sky at night. Shine Baby Shine!
