"Sometimes, I only have half to give… "

National Wear Your Pearls Day is this Friday, December 15th.

It's probably not what you think it is.

It's not about pearls or fashion.

It's about how the adversities we face in life make us more valuable and beautiful.

Founded in 2015 by best-selling author and motivational speaker DeAnna Bookert-Heard, MBA this annual campaign aims to raise awareness of depression and anxiety.

Like the photo in the ad campaign I created below, sometimes we only see half of what a person is going through in life.

Periodically the other half is hidden.

Either slightly or completely.

You never really know what another person is going through unless you ask.

And that’s not always a sure bet, either.

Occasionally laughter and jokes can parade as happiness and mask extreme loneliness, uncertainty, anxiety and depression.

For everyone suffering with anxiety or depression, please ask for help.

It can be challenging and extremely hard to do but we all need you here with us – fully here with us - because there’s only one you in this world.

Although it may not be easy, maintaining good mental health is important and well worth the effort to sustain.

DeAnna says she, “Wears pearls as a reminder that I have purpose and value."

We all have value and purpose, even during times when a part of us is uncertain, confused, or is feeling depleted.

Start a genuine conversation with the person next to you.

Take the time to tell those you know what they mean to you and how they positively impact your life.

Ask them how they are… mentally, physically and emotionally.

Then listen.

Because it's always nice to know when people take the time to care and see both sides of us.

Please - Wear Your Pearls Today!

Today is National Wear Your Pearls Day. Celebrated annually on December 15th and founded by best-selling author and motivational speaker DeAnna Bookert, this annual campaign aims to raise awareness of depression and anxiety.

Associated with Hope, Transformation and Love: The Pearl is the perfect gem to be associated with helping people heal and transform their mindset when going through depression or anxiety.

The Pearl, having long been deeply connected to nature, wisdom and new beginnings, is said to be symbolic of wisdom gained through experience and is believed to offer protection to the wearer.

Pearls represent renewed hope and demonstrate how we can transform our lives through love and nurturing. And it is through the love and caring we show those around us that we bring hope and help each other adopt a positive and healthy mindset to heal and transform our lives — just like a pearl.

Pearls invite us to symbolically do a deep dive into our own inner oceans and discover the treasures that shimmer beneath the surface. All these qualities, along with their calming energy, make pearls the perfect gem to help people heal, rise above adversity and emerge renewed.

Like the Pearl - anything is possible with hope, nurturing and love.

Today is an opportunity to show solidarity for those struggling with depression and/or anxiety and to celebrate how we all have the strength to overcome hardships and transform our lives.

So, don your pearls to show your support and remind yourself you can transform and glow - just like a pearl!

It appears the production of freshwater cultured pearls will become much smaller in years to come...

While doing some research today - I found out that 'Pearl Cluster' necklaces are trending in 2020. Guess I thought they should be trending in 2013 when I made this one!🤣What trends have you worn and/or created before their 'time'?
