Holiday in the Midwest

The journey of this bracelet starts in New York. I was about to catch my flight back home to Chicago and saw these bracelets. The numbers engraved on the gold bar caught my attention. I read the sign describing what Compass bracelets and there were several words that made me excited because they had so much meaning and relevance to me and what’s been going on in my life. Intention. Connections. Adventure. Strangers. This is a piece of jewelry that is meant to be kept temporarily and there’s more fun to be had when it’s passed along. The first bracelet I touched was the one I ended up keeping. I knew exactly who I wanted to pass it along to once I was done wearing it. It was someone I met and connected with unexpectedly. That first bracelet I touched happened to also be his favorite color. I love that this bracelet is a reminder to celebrate the journey and be excited for the unknown. I can’t wait to see where it goes, who it meets, and all the little pieces of its story I’ll get to read.

The bracelet will be celebrating the holidays in Chicago. I can’t wait to send it off to the next wearer!!
