I think I was pretty broken and lost -actually I know I was when I discovered glass. I have my mom to thank for that (the discovery of glass, not my broken heart). She has always been someone who has been curious of making and I guess I have a bit of that in myself. I know I am afraid of the new, of change. I think it’s just part of my controlling nature.
I think that loss and death is part of life, no one seems to get through life avoiding it. It hurts. And it changes you. I find comfort in the natural, in the universe, faith, essential oils, and studying the 7 Chakras and its healing powers. 
My mom was the one that brought up the idea of the Chakra colors in the hotshop – talk about bringing something so beautiful and relaxing into my happy place. Well it wasn’t! Let me tell you – 7 colors were not fun to blow out at once – I felt like a newbie for the entire blow slot on Sunday! It was awful.
But! After a good sleep I tried again. The results were amazing. I am so in love with the bright vibrant colors – they just say love and positive energy!
