Balance of energies and featured jewelry

The triangle. Upright it represents the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. But, turn it upside down, and all of sudden you have Maid, Mother and Crone. I get kind of a chuckle out of the fact that if male energy is thrown for a loop, you get female energy.

But, that is just me being sassy.

The fact is, we need both male and female energy. In the world, in our lives, in ourselves. One without the other creates a serious imbalance, and things go all wonky.

Case in point, let’s take my work. Now, I know one shouldn’t write about one’s job, but I work with a good bunch of fellows and they are in full agreement with what I am about to say.

Notice I said good bunch of fellows. Men. The management team at work is all men. And I’m not talking a management team of two or three. I’m talking six of them. Can you say ‘testosterone’?

So, when they were considering inviting me to join their management team, they asked me why they should include me.

Ladies, you will be shocked, but I said they needed to include me because I am a woman.

Trust me, I am not one to pull my gender. EVER! If I ask a man for help, it’s because I have determined that I either cannot do the task due to skill set, or I simply do not want to do the task. If a woman standing next to me could operate a skill saw, I would ask her.

Nor have I ever considered the notion of using my gender in any way to gain an advantage at work. As my dear friend Barbara, author of the Unfaithful Widow, says delightfully “I could never remember if you put out before or after to get a job, so I went with brains and hard work”.

So, my response to these wonderful gentlemen wasn’t about me being a woman so much, as all of them being male. And trust me, it showed in their leadership style, and our projects were suffering because of it.

Don’t get me wrong, male leadership style is needed. Rather, the projects were suffering because of the lack of balance.

And clever gentlemen that they are, they promptly invited me to the team.

Now, I realize I am only one woman to their six men, but I am one very strong woman (me being sassy again). I have in turn been able to empower other women in our division and there is definitely a shift in energy.

Not a pendulum swing away from male to female energy, but to a beautiful balance of both.

In honour of female energy, I have created the Silver & Grace Signature Pieces. Each necklace in this line has a chainmaille inverted triangle representing the Maid, Mother and Crone. While we may have moved into the Crone stage in terms of years, we continue to experience all aspects of this triad.

• The Maid when we are entering into a new situation
• The Mother when we are nurturing
• The Crone when we are sharing wisdom

The necklace pendants in the Signature line are one of a kind. When you buy a piece from this line, you are the only woman to wear it. It is unique.

As are you.

My first Signature piece is Dew Drops. To make this one of a kind necklace yours, please visit the Silver & Grace store. Upon check out, be sure to enter Discount Code C3609 to get 10% off. This code is valid on this item only and is good until August 12, 2010.
