Keeper of Hearts: Another Bel Kai Necklace for the Capture Collection

November 30, 2010 By Chris Sneddon

 I can’t believe this year is almost over.  It’s been a good year for me in the sense that I’ve made a concerted effort to be more ‘in the moment’ and to make a point to ‘listen with my heart’ more often.  I even shared my heart, trusting those who love me to be a keeper of my heart when I needed it the most.  Because of this, I’ve had some really great opportunities come my way and have connected with some great women that I don’t think would have occured had I not let my heart guide me and for that, I am so very thankful.

How fitting then, that I am sharing my Bel Kai Designs necklace, the latest addition to the Capture Collection of Shutter Sisters photographic jewelry.  To celebrate, today we are giving one away.  Just leave a comment here by midnight PST and please, show us what your heart is telling you.

    My heart is telling me to live today, not the past. You can't change the past, you can only change the way your future will unfold. I feel you hold the key to your life, it's going to turn out the way you let it.

    You know, you're blog has helped me out so many ways. I was "focusing on the moment" last night when I fell in the parking lot at work and sprained my ankle. Now that's the moment I said, "Oh, this is the one of many!" and I picked myself up, got in the car, and took my beaten body back home.

    and all the photos here inspired me to try some new things. I have grown in the past 2 months that I have been watching this blog. I love it. Thank you.

  77. Becky R. says

    December 1, 2010 at 3:52 am

    To finish off my comment:

    So I guess that means that my heart is telling me to man up and do it. I've become more brave in the past few months of trying out new things and I'm not afraid of what people say to me anymore.
