«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 215 of 215Hi Lisa (first timer here)...
i love your jewelry and i might just need to break down and place an order... i've been looking for a piece for my lil' sister's college graduation... she's 8 years my younger and never had terribly much in common growing up. always at a different point in life. but now, now she's a woman with a heart filled of desires; she inspires me as she works three jobs (this includes her current internship) and goes to school full time. she has excelled highly; she's to be valedictorian of her class! she is going to do great things with her life. she is a great aunt too, to my sweet Claire... i love her dearly and she deserves so much. i love this piece especially; its says just the right thing.. she is known, we are finally beginning to understand each other, and we love...
thank you for sharing your talent and helping to make gift giving a little easier.
My sister is a wonderful friend and constant inspiration. She was with me through the birth of my first child, she empowered me, she believed in me. I drew strength from her when I grew tired. After the birth she came over almost every day to help me, even if it was just to wash the dishes or pop in and say hi. Even now, she's across the other side of the country, we talk every day. When I had my second baby, I thought of her throughout my labour, and again, I drew strength from her, even though she couldn't be with us for the birth. She is a wise, warm and wonderful friend, I am the luckiest.
My sister, Deb, has become one of my best friends and biggest supporters as I have grown up. She is 10 years older than me, and was married by the time I was 12, so it wasnt until I was married and a mom that we realized we had much more in common than just our parents! She has been one of my biggest cheerleaders and supporters and I am truly thankful that we have the relationship that we do.
My best friend and I found each other at youth group sooo many years ago. It was an instant friendship that has grown throughout the years. Today I call her my chosen sister. She is so amazing and I am so incredibly blessed to have her as my family. Right now she is in another state helping her dad through his chemo and radiation. She is so strong and such an inspiration. This necklace truly brought tears to my eyes.
Couldn't pick one special friend, rather a group of about 5 that have become my "family" over the course of the last 3 years. Our boys play hockey together and I can count on these women for anything.
My best friend Mabel has blessed my life in so many ways. We have been friends since the age of 12 we have certainly had our shares of ups and downs. The loss of her Mother. being 16 and pregnant one year apart. marrying our soulmates. Dealing with sickness. And now that I live over 500 miles away she still remains my One and Only BestTrue Best Friend. With Richard being sick not only with Cystic Fibrosis but with the Cancer too it makes for some pretty rough days and sleepless nights. And I can alwasy call on Mabel no matter what time of day it is. She is there whether to just listen to me cry or to hear me when I gripe and complain She is there. And I know that when the day comes and my Soulmate leaves my side she will be here to hold me and pick up through the days that follw. She will sacrifice everything and drive the over 5oo miles to be here whenever I need her. Because she loves me and I love her just as much.
my youngest sister kelli is a huge blessing in my life - she's as sweet as can be and always keeps me laughing!
HI,
I jus tfound you through Small magazine and I can hardly wait to order some of your gorgeous stuff....
I would have to say that my insiration comes from my baby sister 7 years younger than me she delivers me neverending support and devotion that takes my breath away.
Hi Lisa,
First of all, your jewelry is wonderful and creative. Thanks for all you offer.
Please let me share my friend Amy with you. Amy and I met in a Bible Study about 4 years ago. Unbeknownst to either of us we were both involved with men who were seminarians at the same seminary. Amy was married and I had been dating my boyfriend, at that time, for 4 years. In our small group prayer time Amy shared that her husband was being considered for a pastor's position and she wanted prayer regarding her attitude toward the situation. We were sitting next to each other and I asked a few questions, really understanding her hesitance. The two of us discovered in that conversation that we are quite non-traditional and outgoing - really not the "stereotype" pastor's wife and nervous about the scenario. It was refreshing to meet someone like me, and to feel like maybe I could do it after all!
Fast forward to last year. We had kept in touch over the years. Amy's husband did get the job and she had actually really grown to enjoy their position. She still had a great deal of freedom and it wasn't as restrictive as she had feared. Another thing we shared - freaking out over things too easily! My boyfriend had also since graduated seminary and was actively looking at different positions. Having Amy as a bar was so helpful to me. She was very honest and forthcoming, while being a great listener as well. It was just before Easter in 2007 that I received an email from the seminary that Amy and her husband had been in a massive traffic accident, and within days he passed away. Each of them just shy of 30 years old, having been best friends for over 10 years before getting married just a few years prior to the accident. It was devastating. And it still is.
I can't begin to describe to you how brave Amy is. How she has just kept on looking forward, trusting that God has not abandoned her and still has a purpose for her life. She has been a true inspiration to me, and to all the people in her life. Very open with what she is going through, and really wanting to help and encourage others to grieve in the way that helps them pull through the best.
It was sad to think that some of the things we had anticipated facing together would now be a source of severe wounding for her. A constant reminder of what her life had been, and would now never be again. Amy continued to encourage and press me forward despite her own physical and emotional damage, despite my continuing to tell her we didn't need to talk about it and I could just suck it up and deal! I am so grateful for her friendship.
Then, about 6 months after securing a position and after 8 years of serious dating and much planning, my boyfriend broke up with me out of the blue. Boyfriend seems like such a casual title for how serious the relationship really was. It was like getting the wind knocked out of me for a very long period.
Suddenly Amy and I are back in similar situations yet again. Both of us having supported these men through rigorous studies and job search, coming to peace and actual enjoyment with how we would figure in to the whole pastor's wife thing, and then each of us losing them - although in different ways.
It's funny how we both feel as though we are back at square one. Each of us in our thirties thinking we would be doing one thing, fighting against it, giving in and enjoying it, and then having it taken away - wondering which way we'll go next. These experiences have bonded us like true sisters. We have laughed together, cried together, talked, listened, walked, ran, movie'd and ice cream'd for hours. She has been a lifesaver to me and I don't know what I would do without her. We often comment on how no one could understand the varying degrees of loss we've faced as each of us does for the other. We truly do know, understand and love one another.
I know this comment has been long, but it's as short as I could make it. And I still don't feel as thought it gives justice to Amy as a friend, a sister and a truly brave and loyal person. She would love this piece of jewelry and it suits her so well.
Thank you
My manager was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 months ago and she is the strongest person I know for having to go though everything she has battled. She is always so positive, loving, caring, and motherly to every single one of us. Her left side of her chest has burns the size of 2 dollar bills(next to each other)from direct radiation because her cancer is so bad. She has lost every single strand of hair on her head from chemo treatments that make her dizzy and sick, and still she shows up for work everyday so she can pay for medical bills and to solely provide for her family. Just a look at her makes you want to break out in tears for knowing how hard her struggle has been, believe me I have shed those tears for her, and with tears in her eyes she said "baby don't be scared I will win this fight!" for someone to be that positive over having to literally fight for their life every single day is a true HERO. If I won this necklace for her I would want it to say:
HERO
Known, understood, loved.
For each one of those words has so much meaning to her and her struggle.
my dearest friend Lindsay shares my heart & my head. I turn to her in times for comfort & joy. She understands & just listens. No advice. Just her ear. I love her to pieces. My cup runneth over!
I just found your blog and designs this week--I LOVE them. This necklace reminds me of my sister, Krystal. Krystal is a twin to my other sister, Katie. Krystal is single, so she seems to be the one who helps Katie and I out the most. I have a story similar to yours.....my daughter, Madeline (age 3), has a rare form of dwarfism. We found out just a few weeks before she was born. Krystal was there the second I needed her to support me and remind me that we all would love this baby no matter what. At the time, Krystal was putting herself through grad. school and supporting herself--money was tight--yet she bought me fun pajamas and robe to wear at the hospital when I was post-partum. Just recently, Krystal was on the Oprah show where she gave away her favorite things for the summer. One of the things was a gift card to a Marriott. I am taking my daughter to the LPA (Little People of America) conference in Detroit in just a few weeks. It is held at a Mariott and Krystal gave me her gift card when she, herself, could use to get away. Krystal knows my budget is tight and that this would help with the expense of the conference. She is always so thoughtful that way. Our sister, Katie, has been going through a rough time the past two years with her marriage and Krystal has supported Katie in so many ways--housing her and Katie's son, leaving work immediately when Katie was in an emotional puddle, and most importantly just listening to her. Krystal is an awesome sister--she defines the word in every sense.
I would say my beautiful daughter Gabrielle. She is my best friend. She is the only girl among four brothers. She was there with me when her fourth brother was born this past summer. We can say anything to each other. She is always there for me. I love her so much.
I have an amazing friend who lost her little boy last year to a brain tumor. She has been an inspiration and shown incredible strength as a mother, wife, sister and for me a friend. I would love for her to receive this as token of what she means to me a friend.
