Think & Pink::

A little bit about Pamela Susan.  My love for art and originality comes from my mother, Susan, who is my
greatest inspiration. At an early age, I worked by my mother’s side on a
variety of handcrafted projects- making soap, spinning yarn, and throwing
pots on the wheel- to name a few. In addition, I was introduced to the art
of jewelry, which has remained a love of mine. As a mother of two daughters,
designing jewelry allows me to stay grounded as an individual. But most
importantly, I love sharing my creations with them and others!

Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted with a beautiful array of precious
and/or semi-precious gemstones, cultured freshwater pearls and precious
metals. There are rarely two alike!  I work closely with distributors to
ensure high quality products, and I purchase some of my gemstones directly
from a close friend who is a gem miner. This allows me to handpick some of
the finest gemstones before they go on the market.

When creating jewelry, my goal is to have an end product that is chic,
sophisticated, and fun. The greatest satisfaction I receive from my work
comes from making people smile. There is no better compliment!

I hope you enjoy my jewelry, and thanks for visiting!

Pink :: You always inspire me.

I have known about your "words" the last few years and had mulled over selecting one too. I could just never commit to one word. I would think of a word, then the next day I wouldn't like it anymore so I would choose another, not like it, so on and so forth. So I love this idea of going word2word from year to year. I don't have to pick the perfect word. Just a temporary word to borrow for a little while.

I love your word "Virtue". It says so many things with its 6 little letters. It is a beautiful word, heavy with meaning. That last statement in your quote is something I would love to become as well. A woman of quiet dignity and inner strength. Wow. Reminds me of my idol : My Mother. As much as I wanted to copy your word, I filed it away for another year and struggled to come up with one of my own.

My word2word is not as pretty as yours. It is a word used a lot in the English language. It is short and to the point. Almost brusk. It can be demanding. It can be exasperating. But it works for me.

My word is:

Told you it wasn't fancy. But it is just the word I need right now.

I am a perfectionist. Most don't realize what a debilitating disease that can be. I don't do things unless I think I can do them perfectly. I can't just tidy up my bathroom. I wait until I have time to take apart the faucets and clean them with Qtips, scrub the floor on my hands and knees, etc. which I never, of course, have time to do (who does?) so I don't do any of it. 

I wait for the perfect time to start. "Once my house is organized, I will have people over for dinner"

I wait for an even better, more clever idea to come to me. That's why no Christmas card since '05.

I wait for a deadline to force me into action.

I wait around doing unimportant stuff avoiding what I know I really should be doing.

I wait until tomorrow.

This is why I need "now".

I need to do it now. Not tomorrow. Not after I get the perfect this or that. Now.
I need to live in the now. Now is where I am. Now will never come again.
What am I doing right now?

Do what's right.
Do it right.
Do it right now.
-Barry Forbes-

Thanks for the push to do this, Pink.
I'm looking forward to living word2word right now.
