Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift from the humble to the humiliated. Grace acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shelled casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense. – Charles R. Swindoll

Embracing my Cherokee heritage, I’ve had many spirit guides throughout my life. One being, the Monarch Butterfly, so it is not a surprise, or shouldn’t be, that when I find something with butterflies, I snatch it up. Kunglers released this lovely piece of jewelry at Cosmopolitan’s round September 18-29. It should be out in the store now. Please note that I modified the placement.

The following are not my words. The original is HERE.

Butterflies are known for their beauty and elegance, symbolizing grace and the ability to move through life with ease and poise.

The butterfly’s ability to effortlessly float on the breeze can serve as a reminder to let go of struggle and to approach life with a sense of fluidity. It also reminds us that we should strive to be present in each moment and approach life with a sense of balance and harmony.

In addition, the butterfly’s beauty and grace are often seen as a representation of the divine.

Its beauty represents the idea that true beauty comes from within rather than from external appearance.

Its colors and patterns are unique and can’t be replicated, reminding us that we are all special and that true beauty comes from embracing our individuality and authenticity.

Be kind to one another. Till we meet again♥

When it is time for something new, you will feel it. You will feel a desire to let go, to shed layers, to move, to re-create. You will know because there will be subtle shifts all around you. You will release the old because you are really clearing the path for what’s ahead. Trust this process. Know that life does not take from us anything unless there is something else imminently awaiting its replacement.

This new look for Cougar has been a work in progress. Over the last few months, I’ve been methodically updating Cougar’s look. Trying several heads, I finally settled on Avalon by LeLutka. Several skin creators were utilized over a few months, with The Skinnery being the current choice, for now. Four years. It was time.

While change can be good, I tend to drag my feet somewhat. Updating, instead of a complete makeover, is my preferred method. IKON did not have my former eye color in an HD applier for EVOx, and the eyebrows are from Nuve. Other than those two items, it was just a process of tweaking the head shape here and there. Cougar’s body shape was tweaked as well. Always a work in progress Cougar is taking an extended holiday from updates, for now. Maybe.

Be kind to one another. Till we meet again. ♥
