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

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
