The Necklace

I
cannot
begin
to tell you
how many
truly
SERENDIPITOUS
moments
we
have
had
at
Petit Soleil!


I
do
believe

I
BELIEVE!

A few weeks ago
I read in
the blog
(our
in -house
info-blog
where
the
Petit staff
write a
about
stuff
happening
currently in the hotel
i.e.
good/bad guests,
food,
messages
etc)
about these ladies and
"the necklace"


What necklace?


Kristyn
and
I
waited
to see if
"the necklace"
would
come
to breakfast


Sure enough.
Inbound,
two
charming
and beautiful women.
No make-up,
in sweats
ooozing style
and
charisma
We all chatted
I
am
good
at
chatting,
as were they
and
I noticed
"the necklace"

dazzling

brilliant

sparkling

zircons? rhinestones?

I
mean
this
was
an
18 inch
tennis bracelet
encircling
Patti's neck

Whoa!
"Is that real?"
I ask?

"You bet!
You wanna wear it?"

mmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmm!


To make a
long blog short
this
118 diamond,
brilliant cut
15.24 carat
diamond
necklace
was the
heroine
of
a
book
entitled
The Necklace
IMG_0823
It
is
the
journey
of
thirteen
extraordinary
women
and
one
mesmerizing necklace

Patti and Mary
are two of the thirteen women
IMG_0822

We talked
about the necklace
and the book
and
the
diverse
yet
inspiring women
that
wear
the necklace
and
share
their
inspirational
and
heart-warming
adventures




"Never before has one piece of jewelry changed the lives of as many
women- and created a lasting legacy of charity
in the community they live in. I laughed, I cried....
now I'm window shopping at Tiffany's"
-Leslie Lehr,
author of
Wife Goes On

The Necklace
is
inspirational
period
.
It is
humbling,
funny
thoughtful
and it makes
me
wonder
what would the
world
be like
if it was
ruled
by
women?
I
have
yet to figure out
why
Mary
and Patti
and Jewelia
touched
our lives at
Petit Soleil
...
I do
feel our
meeting
was
s e r e n d i p i t y
