This statement woke me from sleep at around 3:00 a.m. one night recently. I had selected a picture earlier that week for a picture collage I was doing to honor my inner child. The image was of a young girl, no more than six, draped in strand after strand of pearls. So, I believe these pearls of wisdom came from her. At 3:00 in the morning, I really didn’t want to ponder the message, but when I woke up later it was still ringing in my head. What was the message? What did that wise child want me to know and recognize?

Well, for me it was a message of living…especially in the moment. Why was I saving my lovely, expensive pearls just for special occasions? I can’t think of the last time that I wore them. Their beauty was trapped in a box and hidden from the world. What a shame? Needless to say, I heeded the message and put my pearls on with my denim skirt, flip flops, and my white cotton t-shirt that very morning. When I walked outside, I smiled a smile of naughtiness. Knowing I was doing something unconventional somewhat thrilled me.

During the day, a few people noticed. No one said anything though. I secretly wished they had because I would love to start a revolution. A revolution to not put anything on hold for the “right time”. There is no other time than right now. I am using the pearls of wisdom from my inner child to apply to other facets of my life that I have put away in a box. What am I waiting for? Wear the pearls!

At Seeds of Intentions, we have a perfect pearl necklace from Dogeared Jewelry to begin your process of “wearing the pearls”. It has it’s own inspiring message: “from humble beginnings as a grain of sand, the pearl slowly grows into an object of beauty and simplicity. symbolic of honesty, integrity, prosperity, and wisdom. pearls represent the best within us. let your necklace be a daily reminder of the beauty that shines from a loving heart. enjoy and believe!”

You may also consider journaling or creating a visual journal page to honor your own inner child.  His or her wisdom is magical and should never be taken for granted.  Below you’ll see my “Pearl Girl”.  She is a wise one!
