Influence

One of the greatest factors of change and growth in our life is the people around us. The influence of those who come alongside us. Family who raise us, friends who grow with us, neighbors who live alongside us-these are the influences pushing us to flourish.

I’ve had the privilege of amazing influences. I can see the marks of them in my life. The phrases I say, the things I choose to do, the values, beliefs, and way of life is very much colored by the people I’ve known.

Because of the great impact others have on us and our growth and change, there had to be a piece to honor them. This is my first venture outside jewelry, but I think it’s a special piece and way to consider and celebrate those who have changed us.
