Hello and Welcome!
You must be wondering why my I chose gems & geodes as the name for my blog...well the answer is quite simple, to many of us identifying the gems in our lives are easy; our families, friends, accomplishments, etc. But it's those diamonds in the rough that we have difficulty uncovering, quite similar to how a geode is constructed.
These rough, unattractive, coarse looking rocks would to the average be tossed aside when uncovered, but when the time is taken to examine these ugly looking rocks one would be amazed at what is uncovered. Just by splitting it open will reveal a phenomenal construct of beauty and intrigue. How could this horrible looking rock reveal such hidden amazement?
There is something to be said about taking the time to examine the people and things around us, and not to take everything and everyone at face value or even for granted as there is hidden potential in abundance.
My blog is meant to provide insight and inspiration not only in our day-to-day undertakings but how we perceive and are perceived. By the way we present ourselves and the spaces we live and work in have a tremendous effect on our attitudes and how people respond to us. There is something to be said about hidden beauty, but by bringing it to the forefront in everything we do speaks volumes. There is hidden potential everywhere and my hope is to provide my readers with the inspiration and ability to have their potential be realized.
Some of us are already gems, but for the rest of us geodes we need to uncover our hidden potential and start to see and realize that we are truly gems on the inside :)
We are all (and yes, here comes the cliche) diamonds in the rough.
