Empowering

So as many of you may know my life has been turned upside down recently. I am currently working on turning it right side up again or at least getting some kind of handle on things. The main focus of my life at this point (other than my family) is myself. I have been working on rediscovering Janna and what is important to me. I have realized that I do not need a man in my life, or anyone for that matter, to make me happy. Making me happy is my job and as long as I am concentrating on me and my needs, the rest will fall into place.


As a woman, I always wanted to be given the gift of jewelry. To me jewelry is something that has meant a lot with my family. We have very precious items that have been past down from one family member to the next. So I have always held jewelry very high in my book of things to cherish. I have also always waited for someone else to give these gifts to me, thinking that I could not obtain them for myself. Well I am turning over a new leaf. I am realizing that I am the one that has the power to make me happy. I went out and bought myself my first piece of real jewelry. And let me tell you...that was the coolest, most empowering thing that I have ever done for myself!

Ok, first I just need to clarify that yes, you do need me in your life to be happy.
:) Just kidding but I love you and want to make you happy!
And second, holy beautiful!!!! Good for you to take care of yourself, especially with something that is an important part of your life.

So pretty! That is one of my favorite stones. I am so glad to hear that you are putting yourself first for once. I am sorry that things in your life have not gone the way you had planned. Maybe it means there is something/someone better coming along in your future. You are definitely worth it!

Good for you! That just reminded me of Samantha on the Sex and the City movie.
