Project Beginnings

Sedona, Arizona, United States
The original idea came from a woman we read about, who lost her son Ben. His mother, Jeannette Maré, began fashioning bells as a therapy at first and then as a tribute. Twice a year they are hung around Tucson, with a note inviting those who find them to take them and let them serve as a reminder to spread kindness. It was kindness, after all - simple, everyday acts of human kindness - that had helped Maré through the hardest days after Ben died.

You are welcome to leave comments on where your charms “found” you and what it meant to you. You can also contact us at CharmedSedona@gmail.com or at Charmed Sedona on Facebook.

Charming Amsterdam

Below find three pictures of the key chains.  It was interesting, because any key chain that I hung on the street, as in the first picture stayed there a long time.  I think because there are so many bikes in Amsterdam, people just assumed it was someone's bike key chain and left it until someone actually went to the trouble of reading what it said! The bottom two, that I had left in a beautiful park close to my house (which was designed by an American, by the way!) were gone almost immediately.  The one I left on the bridge is one of my favorite stops to just go sit and contemplate.  The other one shows a favorite statue of mine in the background, a woman without a head (perhaps I identify with this a bit too much - LOL!)
Thanks so much for enabling me to be a part of this project, I truly enjoyed it, and please give the ladies my regards!
My best,
Tina
