Over the years, I’ve refined my pricing so I can offer something personal and beautifully made, using high-quality materials, while keeping itContinueContinue reading “Personal, Meaningful, and Made by Hand: Custom Rosaries & Prayer Beads”

The Spirit in the Sweetness: Honey as Sacred Symbol
It’s harvest time in many parts of the world. A time to savor the bounty of nature as days get a bit shorter and cooler. We begin to draw inward, slow down and prepare for winter. The call from Our Lady of Bees this season has me contemplating these threads of honey’s symbolism. Honey asContinueContinue reading “The Spirit in the Sweetness: Honey as Sacred Symbol”
Our Lady of Bees devotional for Peace in the Middle East
I was raised Catholic and grew up asking for Great Mother Mary for help—because let’s be honest, if you want something done, you ask Mom! While I am no longer a practicing Catholic, my devotion to the Holy Mother is deeper than ever. I create and sell rosaries and prayer beads as a form ofContinueContinue reading “Our Lady of Bees devotional for Peace in the Middle East”
🐝 Bee Together: A Call to Community
We are living through times of great upheaval—where peril and possibility walk side by side. In the midst of this, Our Lady of the Bees calls us toward community, creativity, and joyful, sacred action.
Our Lady of the Bees: An Invitation to Community, Care & Joy
The world is so nuts and the last 6 months in the US – crazy town. I’ve felt every flavor of flight, fight, and freeze, sometimes cycling through them all in a single day. I ask myself “what can I do?” “is it enough?” over and over. If like me, you often feel helpless inContinueContinue reading “Our Lady of the Bees: An Invitation to Community, Care & Joy”
Ancestor Hoops: Using Beads for Ancestor Work
I am super excited to finally be able to share this!!! Many are called to ancestor work when needing guidance, support, healing, or connection. I get the sense that they want to reach us as well. Unless you come from a culture with specific practices around ancestors, you might feel called to connect with themContinueContinue reading “Ancestor Hoops: Using Beads for Ancestor Work”
Self Compassion Meditation and Prayer Beads
The world has been extra crazy these last couple of years. How we navigate it can be expanded and made more bearable with a self compassion practice. I created these beads for just that.

Free Range Rosaries Origin Story
One year ago today I sold my first Free Range Rosary on Etsy. This was my first official sale and it just so happens that the same person who purchased it, just bought another one of my creations yesterday. I’m still unclear on whether it’s freerange or free range or free-range but that hasn’t stoppedContinueContinue reading “Free Range Rosaries Origin Story”
What is a Free Range Rosary?
I started making rosaries a little over a year ago. I had started praying the rosary again last year out of need, desperation really and I came to make rosaries out of a need to create love out of misery; to walk a spiral around the difficulties of the worst time in my life, spreadingContinueContinue reading “What is a Free Range Rosary?”
A Spiritual Practice for Guilt
We come to prayer and meditation for many reasons. Some have a daily practice, some come to prayer the way you grab the “Oh Jesus” handle in the car when things get rough. Praying for help in the clutch of difficulty is as old as old gets. Then there are the long-term difficulties that seepContinueContinue reading “A Spiritual Practice for Guilt”
Free Range Inspiration for Summer 2021
So I’m pretending to be an organized business with “seasons” just for fun. (Worth a shot right? lol😜) I’m just SO stoked to connect to Makuahine Nui (Great Mother) and co-create some new free-range rosaries, malas and chaplets this summer. Summer is almost here! More are people vaccinated and some places can see ahead toContinueContinue reading “Free Range Inspiration for Summer 2021”
Rosaries For Rebels: Non Churchy Ways to Use the Beads
This article is by my dear friend and podcast co-host Cyndera Quakenbush. It was originally published here on Your Tango. Check out her work with Story Through Stone. If you’re anything like me and about 23% of all Americans, you are not affiliated with any religion. What cannot be captured in a poll, however, areContinueContinue reading “Rosaries For Rebels: Non Churchy Ways to Use the Beads”
Our Art of Heaven Hallowed Be a New Prayer
This summer I found a beautiful translation of the Our Father prayer and shared it with my Rosary Circle. We soon adopted it into our rosary practice, using it for the first Pater (Our Father) bead. This translation is from the original Aramaic and was done by Neil Douglas-Klotz, who is a religious studies, spirituality,ContinueContinue reading “Our Art of Heaven Hallowed Be a New Prayer”
