Food for Thought: "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.

Hi All,

I'm not sure how to start this post, so forgive me if it gets long winded or sounds like I am preaching by the time I am done....

If you haven't heard already, celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is dead. The cause of death was suicide, this news coming just days after fashion designer Kate Spade was found dead, her death also ruled suicide. I can't even begin to imagine the pain they were in and how long they must have been suffering in silence.

You might be thinking, why does this matter to me and why should it matter to you? Well, it's quite simple, really. There are a lot of people out there suffering in silence -- people you know, people you don't know, maybe even you. In fact, a few weeks ago, the co-worker of a family member took her own life. I didn't know this person, but someone close to me did.

So, you see, just because we never knew Anthony or Kate personally, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't care. What we should be doing is opening up our eyes to those around us and letting people know that they are not alone. This is why I am sharing the video "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. I've also included the lyrics below. I just want to offer some hope in whatever small way I can, and the message in this song expresses what I want to convey.

Everybody Hurts

R.E.M.

When your day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on)
(Hold on) if you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life
Well, hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone

No, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts

You are not alone

Get 20% Off Engravables at Stella & Dot!

**This post contains affiliate links and we will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on our links.

Hey, hey, it's May!!

How's everyone doing this fine day? Yes, it is f-i-n-e -- fine -- because we finally have some beautiful weather. Last I checked it was 21 C / 68 F outside. Woo!

Anyway... how about an awesome deal from Stella & Dot? From now through May 14th, Stella & Dot engravables are 20% off, so it's a great time to buy.

For those of you still trying to figure what to get the mom(s) in your life, a personally engraved piece of jewellery would be a very thoughtful Mother's Day gift.

Maybe you're getting married and haven't purchased anything for your maid of honour and bridesmaids yet. Even if you bought everyone the same thing, you could make each jewellery item unique by engraving something that's specifically meaningful to each one of the ladies in your wedding party.

What about the graduates in your life? Graduation is just around the corner, so why not commemorate the day with an engravable ring, bracelet, necklace, locket, or charm?

There are so many different pieces and ways to personalize them -- initials, names, important dates, etc. One of my personal favourites is the Signature Engravable Bangle. Check it out below.

Remember, this promotion is on now through May 14th, 2018. If you're shopping in time for Mother's Day, be sure to buy your gift(s) at Stella & Dot now.

Have fun shopping!

Until next time,

Eddy

Hi All,

At last, it's the first day of SPRING! Did you know that the first day of spring is the only time of year when the sun rises in the east and sets in the west worldwide? Pretty cool, huh?

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to not having to put on a zillion layers of clothing before I can step out the door. I figure that kind of weather is still a couple of weeks off, though. Gives me time to buy something new to wear!

International Women's Day 2018

Hi All,

Thursday, March 8th is International Women's Day -- a day that celebrates the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women around the world, AND acknowledges the challenges women continue to face in the quest for gender equality.

I know I'm a week early with this post, but I just wanted to send a shout out to women everywhere and say:

I celebrate you, I am proud of you, I believe in you...

You are strong, you are intelligent, you are beautiful...

You are everything and have everything you need to be anything you want...

You can do great and be great...

Your voice is important, there is power within you...

You can make a difference, you can bring about change...

You are a person, you matter, you deserve respect...

You are good enough, you are smart enough, you are brave enough...

You are worthy, you are lovable...

Food for Thought: Grief is Just Love...

Hello Everyone,

Since my earlier post last Friday, JB and I have had a bunch of sad news come our way. The saddest news of all being that a very dear cousin of ours passed away. Cancer... I hate that disease.

Our cousin was something else. Husband, father, brother, friend... story teller. Truly, he could talk and talk and talk! I have no idea how he could remember so far back into his childhood with such clarity. I'm lucky if recall what I ate last night for dinner. I'm going to miss his stories. I'll miss his phone calls -- "Hey, what you doin'?" -- every month. He lived out west, so we didn't see each other much. I think the last time we got together in person was over five years ago. Time goes fast when you're busy living your life, but he's done living now -- at least on this earthly plane. No doubt he's chatting up a storm with his parents, my dad, and other family members who've crossed over. Yep, they're having a reunion party, while the rest of us are grieving. And so it goes....

What is grief? I came across something by a woman named Jamie Anderson that really resonated with me and I want to share it with all of you.

"Grief is just love with no place to go." Well said, Jamie, well said.

Goodbye, cousin. Thanks for the memories. We'll miss you.

- Eddy & JB
