A Play of Light

I have found that it is important to not think too much about names or choosing a title for what you want something to be.  After all, "being" can get to be so complex if you try to pin it down to actually BEING.  However, there is a part of me that wants to explain the meaning or the feeling or the mood that is behind my chosen name, Moonstone Designs.

I have a tendency to dream things into existence.  That is fine unless you are doing accounting or business plans.  And yet, this first post is really about addressing my dreams.....First of all, I think that moonstone is such a fine, descriptive term.  In reality, a moonstone is characterised by an enchanting play of light, just as it appears in these photos.  I love looking at the reflection of water and sun in carved ripples of sand, just as much as I love looking at the pearly coloration inside a shell, the play of light that constantly changes.

Although moonstone is actually a gemstone, it is known for its mystique and magic.  It has been known to strengthen our emotional and subconscious aspects.  Wearing a moonstone is also said to have the power to strengthen our intuition and capacity to understand.  I like these ideas.  They symbolize my dreams.  They push me to the edge of wanting to see something beyond the ordinary.  And this is how I want to envision my business.   In the days ahead, I will be writing more about my ideas, the changes that formulated new goals and processes and actions.  The questions behind the name will become clear and focused as I move slowly and more confidently into this altogether new blog.  I hope you will stay and help me explore this meandering path.  I feel certain it will be fun, exciting, and full of endless color and an enchanting play of light.
