It took me a long time to realize that the frustrations, problems, health concerns, and difficult relationships I experienced were the most beautiful gifts of my life.
They were reminders that my purpose in life is to create beauty from dysfunction and illness. Today, I am happy to present this website as a message in the bottle for those seeking the same connection and healing that I am.
With Love,
Meghan
Why pearls?
This idea came from a conversation with a friend. I realized that I was tough and coarse on the outside but soft hearted and incredibly caring on the inside. When he compared me to an oyster that idea stuck with me and I thought, "Well, at least they make pearls."
Pearls are the result of a piece of grit or sand getting into the tender part of an oyster. The oyster covers the irritation with nacre, a beautiful iridescent coating that creates a pearl over several years. Creating a pearl takes a long time but the result is beautiful and worth cherishing. My hope is that you find ways to make your pearls and share your journey with me here.
This blog is a work in progress and things may change from time to time as I learn better ways of articulating my thoughts and tools to help you express yours. I never dispense medical, mental health, or relationship advice but I do write from my own experiences. I would never want someone to be harmed or injured from something I wrote because it worked for me and not for them. Please use your best judgment when reading the information I present on this blog. It is also expected that you treat those who share their thoughts with the highest standard of dignity and respect. No demeaning, hateful speech, or crude comments will be tolerated. Also, no soliciting or sexually inappropriate behavior will be tolerated. I reserve the right to remove comments and commenters who act inappropriately.
With all of that said, I look forward to this journey with you and all of the pearls we will make together!
Make pearls,
Meghan
