Natural Pearls form when an irritant - usually a parasite and not the proverbial grain of sand - works its way into an oyster, mussel, or clam. As a defense mechanism, a fluid is used to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating, called 'nacre', is deposited until a lustrous pearl is formed. Sometimes I think about the negative people around me, their choices, actions, unwillingness to forgive, energies, etc etc... and I realize I must keep living and doing me because they don’t mean to be an “irritant” — they just can’t help it, so if I can, I will keep sharing my love and compassion until they become sparkling pearls.

And I can’t seriously just show that one photo only... of course I’ve been dying to share this backdrop that I custom painted for our shoot! It was soooo fun playing with different brushes to create these textures!
