Today is Sunday #Day2 of #BlackHistoryMonth. I woke up wanting to wear more cowry shells, but decided to wear this artistic pair instead. I bought these with a few other about a year ago at my favorite costume jewelry store. They stood out because of the colors and art on them. There is a sun, a sea turtle, African patterns and an African man drumming. I had to get them. Finding black art on costume jewelry only happens once in a blue moon.
On this beautiful Sunday at church I was reminded that only God can satisfy my soul, everything else is secondary. I look at this pair and know exactly why I had to wear these today... there is a bright sun, beaming rays of God's goodness, the sea turtle is an ancient symbol that represents creation, endurance, determination, strength, stability, longevity, fertility, and innocence, which are all the things I hope to experience one way or another. Side note: The turtle also provides protection, good fortune, and brings happiness and good omens.
