Yesterday Ewian surprised me with this beautiful dedication that he posted on Twitter…
Thank you Ewian for such great act of kindness! My heart also goes to Emmanuelle.
Mojo was and is my wonderful and unforgettable Star She was already here when I moved from Italy to California she has been my rays of sunshine through the good time and the bad times she was very special and I loved her very much. Mojo left this world on November 2nd 2014 she was 16 years old.
That day was one of the saddest, when I left the vet office it was raining but after 30 minutes that Mojo left this world something superior happened a beautiful sign from above a beautiful full “Double Rainbow” appeared in the sky
I guess was Mojo way to tell us that she passed the rainbow bridge and that she was ok and happy…. <3

Today I am very happy to introduce you with Marissa Bergen
I actually had the privilege to meet her in person few weeks ago on November 6 while I had a Bloggers meet up here in California with our friend Erika Kind visiting from Lichtenstein Europe, and some amazing ladies one of them was Marissa. My fellows here on WordPress sure remember all of our posts. For the new fellows that missed, this is the link to my post “When Bloggership Meet…we did! we had a wonderful experience and meeting Marissa was great! She has a great Blog is a writer and a rock mom…since also play the Bass in her family band! Marissa has the ability to write poems fulfilled with creativity and fantasy and one of her great ability is to ends her poems with a unexpected twist…and some of them can be totally hilarious like the one she wrote after our meeting. I will post it here to give you an appetizer of her fantasy be prepared to laugh, I couldn’t stop when I read it! :-))))
(Photo In order from left: Corinne, Me, Ms. Erika Kind and Marissa)
It started out a day just like any other day
Blue skies, pleasant temperatures, typical L.A.
But this Friday was special as I was psyched to be
Meeting soon at Starbucks, a group of bloggers 3.
For a wholesome day of fun, coffee, gossip, laughter
With Erika Kind, Corinneonline, Carolina at Yesterday After
All the women were so sweet starting off you see
But I don’t remember much after sipping my coffee…
And the next thing you know, well, the scene was quite outrageous
My head was pounding as I woke in a hotel in Vegas
Corinne was sprawled out on the couch and starting to come round
Carolina on the floor, Ms. Kind was nowhere found
Strange clothing strewn across the floor, emptied bottles of booze
A gap where I once had a tooth, Corinne had new tattoos
And in the other rooms we found a tiger and a baby
Plus little Wayne, Wayne Newton and of course, Wayne Brady
But as for Erika,we’d no idea what we should do
‘Til looking out the window, we came cross our fist clue
For what did we see flying high as we were sitting there
Hanging from a monument, Erika’s underwear
And then we all did realize it was our mission then to find
Erika in time to get her back to Lichtenstein
And we would do all that we thought we could do in our power
To get her on that flight which was to leave in just 10 hours
Our mission was before us, and it was do or die
We pondered perhaps she was kidnapped by some Asian guy
But despite our best efforts there was no way to retrieve her
So we asked Mike Tyson but he hadn’t seen her either
Time was getting closer and still we had no luck
We’d have to call her family and say disaster struck
And just as we were bout to put the phone up to our ears
We heard Erika’s voice she said “Hello ladies I’m here”
We looked in disbelief sure her image holographic
But she said “It’s really me, I just got caught in L.A. traffic!”
And we said “Oh gosh you drove here? well you really are insane
At 6PM on Friday you should have just got on a plane!”
And so it seemed that Erika would safely make it home
And the rest revealed itself inside Corinne’s iPhone
With pictures so embarrassing we all squirmed in our seat
And with no time to spare we all just quickly hit delete
And no one will find out what went on, that we all did swear
Or what the heck was up with Erika’s flying underwear
And the only picture that we all agreed to show
Is the one that I am posting right here down below
Just four normal bloggers who you see are looking awfully
Happy when they thought that they should all meet one day for coffee

Now I hope that you all still laughing and had fun reading and travelling through Marissa creativity!
So if you want to have more fun and great reading please go to visit her Blog!
Have a great week!

The Tranquillity Stone
I am always interested to research and read about the natural powers of gemstones and their meanings. All my jewelry is created inspired by Nature and made with the use of natural elements and gemstones. There is so much beauty in nature that inspire me with my creations. I like the Blue Quartz very much for the beautiful color, translucent transparency and natural positive energy that this crystal emits. In my reading I learned that the Blue Quartz is a calming and soothing stone, I like to call it the “Tranquillity” stone because the natural energy and vibrations believed to soothe, calm and release from fears and negativity.
Here there are some of my designs created in different styles using Blue Quartz combined with other natural stones and crystals.

Just listed on my Etsy Shop!




Details if you are interested in my work….
My work is made as Custom Order can be purchased and ordered here on this Blog or on my Etsy Shop.

Crystals
translucent surface
of an inner energy
powerful light
radiating rays of depth
in the history of nature
sun reflection and donation
of universal love
for the humanity to hold
a cosmic revelation
sometimes unknown
like puzzle pieces to find
within our soul
awareness will come
with perception and feelings
love is power
light will shine
