Handmade Sterling Silver and Gold Jewelry with Luscious Semi-precious Gemstones


I design and sell my handmade sterling and gold filled jewelry using the most colorful, conflict-free, semi precious gemstones that I can source out. I am very proud of my full line of eco-friendly, 100% recycled fine silver jewelry and I am committed to to one day using 100% reclaimed materials.

I cannot go a day without creating! My passion is making modern, glamorous, one of a kind necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings and earrings that are good to the earth, and women can feel beautiful wearing everyday!

I also have a full career as a pediatric physical therapist. I use hippotherapy to treat children with disabilities. (Hint: Hippo is the Greek word for horse), but, more about that later.

I hope you stay a while. We have a lot to talk about!

Thank you for stopping by.

CPR and Lifesaving Techniques for Dogs


Take 5 minutes out of your day, OK, maybe it might be ten minutes, to really commit this to memory: CPR for your precious family member, your dog.

In a Red Cross survey, 89% of adult Americans think it should be mandatory for adults to learn Community CPR and basic life saving techniques. The number who actually keep up their certification falls sadly lower than this percentage.

As you can imagine, there are no statistics for canine CPR, yet so many of us  consider our dog a very important member of our family.

Read, understand, and memorize this chart. Practice on your poochie, share it with your family, hang it on your wall, email it to your friends. Look at these guys, how can you not take a few minutes to learn this simple, potentially lifesaving technique.

Great Post Norah. I think ALOT of people don't know the signs or what to do if their dog needed CPR. Thanks for thinking of our furbabies!

Cutest fur babies!

I have wondered about this for my cat and now I know, although I really hope I don't need to use this or to breath into his mouth:) Old kitty mouths don't smell very good. Thanks for the tips and a dose of cuteness.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Norah - I had a fright last week when my puppy Lucy almost drowned in the swimming pool (she'd stepped on the cover and gone under) so I'm more aware than ever of the need for this information!

So very informative! Even those of us who don't share our lives with a pooch should learn this!

Adorable photos too! Thank you Norah!
