T. Golden Rex Presents: A present for you!!

ON BEING PRESENT and ACCOUNTABLE

That is my action phrase for 2015 . . . Present and Accountable.  I've been thinking about it a lot lately.  I needed something to help me with my focus when I get overwhelmed or even underwhelmed, you know like when you just ain't feelin' it, but you need to deliver on what you said you were going to do?  

When I say present, I mean:  living in the moment, in the now, you know THE present.  Enjoying and taking care of my life, which includes my religion, my family and myself.  Myself includes my business and my friends and  so much more.  Counting my blessings. A LOT!  Giving thanks.  Giving back.  Helping. Listening. Caring.  None of us are guaranteed any more time beyond right now.  I need to remember that and this word I've assigned for the year, "Present" will help.

The word accountable  is to remind me further, that my actions or lack thereof, have consequences . . . whether it be good or bad.  I am accountable to Allah (God) first, then myself and my family AND all the responsibilities and wonderfulness that comes with this life.  

You have been such a lovely part of my life this last half of 2014, that I wanted to give you a present.  I wish I could give everybody a present.  I really wish I could just be in the biz of giving presents, ya know?  Oh, and being paid to curate Pinterest Boards one day a week and then paid so well that it would sustain all my crafty needs and desires and present giving too!  Until that happens, and I'm not giving up on that idea for one minute, I have one pair  of lovely "present" earrings to present you with.  

My sister, Carol donated these earrings for my giveaway!  Is she not AWESOME.  Yes, indeed she is!  I got to spend 4 weeks at her house this past November and let me tell you I had the best crafty time EVAH!  She actually put together a craft/sewing room for me with the most comfortable bed and pillow, again . . . EVAH!  She let me take over her kitchen and practically every available space to do as many photo shoots as I wanted!  That's where I did the T. Golden Rex shoot and a fun jewelry shoot with her gorgeous jewelry!  

She runs a lovely shop on Etsy called The Jewel Lady and she makes some unique, handcrafted BLING!  I'm talking some serious stunning Swarovski Crystal  and Cat’s Eye bead creations.  Check her out and discover why she is called The Jewel Lady. Oh, and tell her I sent you and I'll make sure you get the "family" discount! ;)


That's it, my friend.  Now all you have to do is look at the pretty pictures and ooooh and awwww and then leave a equally pretty comment or maybe you have a word or phrase for 2015, that you are going to focus on.  Let me know in the comment section below!  You will then be entered to win these beautiful earrings.  Oh, I almost forgot!  Thank YOU for your present to me!  You are AWESOME!  T. Golden Rex thinks so too!
