Hello Everyone:

I thought it would be helpful to let my first blog be a brief explanation as to why I came up with the name – “passion and pearls”.

When I think of the word passion – I think of strength, strong feeling and emotion, devotion, and heart’s desire. I don’t believe passion is something that just ‘falls out the sky’ – it’s something that continually echo’s in our mind and heart. When your thoughts are not focused on any particular thing – it’s the stimulus that pushes your thoughts and actions toward a certain desire, interest, or even person.

I connect this to how a pearl is formed in that there is an actual irritant, such as a grain of sand, that works its way into an oyster and as a type of ‘defense mechanism’, a fluid is used to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating is deposited until a beautiful pearl is formed.

I see our passion as a positive ‘irritant’ that’s not always recognized in its irritant form but is much needed to create the ‘layers’ of our unique pearls we dream to come true.

Is it time to open your oyster?
