Diamonds are a girl’s best friend

I met a friend who showed me a beautiful, personally designed engagement ring. She selected a particularly beautiful citrus coloured diamond stone and designed a leaf wreath around it. The job at a jewellery workshop took few months. The diamond was “trillion” shaped, the final result stunning.

I asked her why she did it. This is her answer: “I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday and decided to give myself a special gift. This ring represents my commitment to appreciate myself, to trust, support and love myself. I wanted an anchor to my inner ‘Me’, something that reminds me who is the most important person in my life.” This diamond ring is an amazing manifestation of love and it reminds her to say: “Thank you Elisa for being, I appreciate you every day and forgive you any mistakes you make, because they are part of life”.

Many of us have a problem with self-love. I know about the power of small steps to value yourself, to pay attention to everyday life, such as taking time for yourself, a morning coffee before a day full of challenges, or a short meditation at the end of an intense day. Elisa went further, putting energy, time and positive thoughts into creating something beautiful and lasting for herself. This idea has delighted me.

Every time I meet my friend Elisa, this beautiful ring on her finger impresses me and puts me in a good mood. We talk a lot here about raising your vibration and discovering your inner strength and valuing yourself. I think Elisa managed to include several elements in this "engagement project" - thanking and forgiving yourself and anchoring the daily practice of self-love.

I'm not suggesting that you should run to the jeweller now and order something expensive, but I encourage you to reflect deeper on yourself and to find an "anchor" that will help you to see ‘You’ with love in the daily rush.
