Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable." -(Osho) This is what I used to tell a sister-in-law. She's fond of saying, " 'Dee', you're very lucky. You're creative with your hands. You are so endowed. Too bad it's not the same with me."  Well, first, it may seem all glitz and glamor.... "But she doesn't know the me in this casing. She'd know how pathetic I could be at times. I don't even envy myself. It's been grace."  Two, she hasn't found her purpose yet. I may seem good with my hands. "She doesn't even know what goes on in my brain and mind while seemingly expertly executing any idea. Hands are just a significant little part of a whole body. And well, she's forgotten she's versatile business-wise which I am not." Nobody is unuseful. All it takes is being objective and focused; finding one's purpose; and us...

I wanted to change the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. I was insisting we had to have only the best people... If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence... -( Jack Welch).  The first time I set my eyes on www.seundsbeads.com  online, I went... "Kai, I can do better." That-local-kind of ego! You know! Do the bead; snap it; upload it... Finish! Thousands of likers&followers appear; clientele explodes; overwhelming cash flow begins. Have I considered the nature& the ever changing rules of this particular engagement, the hassles;  the hurdles and personal negativities?  No! That's the mindset. That's the attitude. Today, I understand better. Nowadays, people goes, "yaay! your work is different; your illustrations are out of this world. Please tell me how to achieve this feat." Guess I should allow my back and my eyes to do the answering. First thing is that I don't go out at all. If I do, it definitely has to...

This was one work ( the bold one with a write-up) I did in adversity. That work that makes you emotional everytime you look at it.. And the quote on it again!!! Chai! You don't want to know! It marked a turning point in my life. It's not been so easy but it's been the best DECISION/CHOICE I made so far. Grace is "Knowing when to take a step." Mercy is taking that right step & getting a glorious result/effect. This bead is significant. It was a beginning of something new. Even, from the picture, graphically, it's glaring that it was amateurish. This is where it all started from: The #evolutionoftoday (a story for another day) ..... one is never there yet... It will continue to get better... The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is practice, . Also passion, vision and objectivity CREAMS&CORALS: GRACE My name is 'D.'This is my #experienceasshare #grace #extraordinary #practice #creamsandcorals #creamsandcoralslovers #welovec...

After blooming 🌹, pollinators 🐝 came. This was followed by fruiting. How tasty the berries 🍓 are could only be testified to by the hummingbirds🐦 The first #beadstyle 💎 I originally 👀 @marcoljewelrycafe🙌👌👍😘. I love😍 it especially the #colorcombo. Couldnt wait to replicate it. The idea for the second style came from a different idea 💡 which I later adapted as a follow up👆for the first style. RATIONALE: when we are in full bloom(successful), see how people(the good, the bad, and the ugly) would be attracted to us; swarming all over us; overwhelming us. This stage seems the sweetest. Everybody wants to identify with you. One may tend to become intoxicated, giddy, conceited and pompous(PRIDE). Loss of focus sets in. At this stage, One needs to be very careful you know! •Success, like politics makes/attracts strange bedfellows •Most importantly, pride leaves no room for Grace. It is a spiritual cancer; it eats up the very possibility of love, contentment or even common...
