Fifty Three: The sparklies have arrived!
A couple of months ago I had the idea that I'd like a piece of jewellery to commemorate how far I'd come since the car accident. Something that I could wear everyday so that I'd have a constant reminder, even when I felt low, that I was still making progress.
I didn't have a clue what I wanted, but knew just the lady to help. I emailed Caroline from COD to ask if she could help me with some ideas.
This (plus another necklace) is the result. It's a lotus flower, which has many meanings: symbolising the victory of the spirit over the senses and also the "flower stands for the journey from the darkness, represented by the muddy pond, to the light of knowledge or wisdom."
Sums it up rather well I feel! :)
