Celebrating my journey and recovery: Soulful Reliquary

Tomorrow (April 5) will be a year from the date I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. Although it was a little shocking to found this out I also knew this type of cancer had a bigger positive outcome and I was ready for the battle.

The best way I have to express my feelings is through my art and I wanted to make a piece of jewelry that will be a symbol of my journey and recovery during 2013; I am still working on getting my energy better but I am sure I will get there very soon.

The symbols I wanted to have in my pendant have been with me during my whole journey as an artists and I have represented them a lot in my work. Now they have a stronger meaning for me and this makes my work have more soul.

The tree of life on top with the Milagro heart is the representation of the family and friends's support during this journey with the heart symbolizing all the love I have received and also my own love and passion for my family and life. The two birds looking at the tree represent my husband and me; he was and still is my best friend and companion but they also represent my two kids, my great loves in my life!

Thank You to all for your love and positive energy!!!

The big butterfly in the center represents my thyroid but mostly is a representation of my transformation, faith and soul. the butterfly is the bigger element because I am stronger and ready to fly again!

The pearls are the tears I had shared with my love ones but they were not only sad tears they also symbolized the happiness tears we had when I was told after my surgery that they were able to take all the cancer out. The red coral are a strong statement symbolizing my passion, love and courage.

New Beginnings

I am excited to start this new year and to come back stronger and healthier than ever. I have missed being creative everyday as I used to but I had to make a stop in 2013 and focus on my health and family first.
Now, I am more than ready to start creating again and eager to share my big passion for what I do.
In 2013 I embraced the symbol of the butterfly and started creating new designs with it, the butterfly will be a strong symbolic icon for me from now on because it represents my journey during my health scare last year. The butterfly is the symbol of the thyroid but it also represents faith, transformation, soul and new beginnings.

I want to wish you all the best for this new year that starts.
Thank you for being with me at all times and hope you will still keep me company during this new year!

Cheers for New Beginnings !!!!!
