“Essence of Healing” Bracelet by Essence Bracelets

** SOLD TO HELEN M FOR $25 **

Each of us is born with an innate capacity for healing which is in forward motion at all times. This life force lovingly breathes for us, regulates our body temperature and heals our wounds simultaneously, asking nothing in return. A profound intelligence that cannot be seen with the naked eye, this invisible fire heals each of us every single day. The strength of our fire is dependent upon how information and energy has been stored in our systems. Every experience we have ever had is stored in our cells as memory. A memory that has stored trauma without healthy resolution will reflect as a body and mind with symptoms and signs of suffering. A mind and heart that are unified as one, free of both conscious and unconscious grievances, will produce a body that is also free of physical disturbance. To ignite our invisible healing essence, we must become entirely aware of the source energy from which we all have come. When our attention is cast only toward the light, our consciousness is lifted and healing happens effortlessly.

“Eire Dusk” (Ireland Dusk) by Becky Schorr

** SOLD TO LESLIE B FOR $85 **

Absolutely stunning.  Quite a treat to see in person!

“I first discovered the artist in me when I was in grade seven art class. I did some sketches and paintings for the class, and the teacher raved about them and put my work up in the school’s halls. After doing a few more pieces, it was then that I realized there was something to it. Since then, I have been sketching, painting, moulding, crafting.
I absolutely love it, and my whole house is filled with my work! It brings be great joy to create, and make things beautiful.
This piece is inspired from our travels in Ireland and England. The smoky mist of blues and greys that was so often hovering throughout the day somehow brought me peace, and seemed to clear my mind. I love the peacefulness of birds and branches in silhouette, and adore the simplicity of it.
There is beauty all around us if we just look for it.”
-Becky Schorr

Personalized Photoshoot with Urban Couture Photography

** SOLD TO TERRY C FOR $80 **

* Package includes shoot w/ Jennifer & edited photos on a disc to print all you want!

http://www.urbancouturephotography.ca/

From the desk of Jennifer Lee:

All my childhood I thrived on passion, whether it was passion of swinging on the swings at the park or coloring within those lines in the coloring books. To take something ordinary and make it your own is what passion is about. I grew up always wanting to do something great with my life. I could be a doctor, a veterinarian, an actress, something that the world would notice me for. As I grew older and life pressed on, I realized I didn’t need to be noticed, I realized then it was my passion and dream to notice people.
As soon as I could afford my first camera it stuck by me constantly, never left my side.
All my friends always laughed because when most girls were glued to their purses and lip-gloss, I was glued to my trigger button.

My passion and dream is to capture the still images of life’s essences and with each photo, a part of me feels complete.

I am where I am supposed to be.
