Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero
Tags:
Today I want to celebrate a wonderful blogger, jewelry artist, mother, and life coach who has become a friend: Andrea Scher of Superhero Designs. [ photo below by Boho Girl Denise Andrade ]
Andrea is the reason I began blogging back in 2004. I was working on a project for a workshop about designing with color (& color inspiration) and was searching the internet using the search terms "colorful jewelry." I stumbled onto Andrea's Superhero site (and of course I had to order a handmade necklace as part of my research), started reading her blog and checking out all her inspiring links, and decided then and there that what she was doing was cool and I wanted to start my own blog.
I finally got to meet Andrea in person last summer after corresponding back and forth from time to time over the past four years. It was awesome. She has a heart of gold, a wonderful written voice, and a gift for helping people get in touch with their own inner superhero.
Today, lucky readers, Andrea is giving away a one of her fantastic, colorful bead necklaces. In addition, she has a special holiday sale happening now that includes $20 off necklaces bead necklaces. Passion would make a great gift for a special friend (or a suggestion for a spouse who may need a little help in choosing a Valentine gift).
Here's a little FAQ on her lovely necklaces. She has also added these very cool silver pendant necklaces to her offerings.
To be entered into the drawing today leave a comment that highlights your own personal superpower (or superpowers). And before you think you have none, stop and consider the possibility
for a moment. What is something you are just awesome at? Take a
minute to be proud of something about ourselves and share it publicly.
I bet you are your very own superhero in some very special way.
Comments will be closed at 8pm Pacific tonight with the winner posted shortly after.

Lovely necklace. I guess I would have to say my superpower is my ability to make others laugh, even under difficult situations.

I just discovered my superpowers while staying with my daughter in the hospital - I can be strong when I have to be, make her laugh when there is nothing funny, and find adventure in touring the hospital via wheelchair.

I recognised my superpower just yesterday. I am awesome at connecting with new mothers who are struggling with what life has dealt to them. Children with fatal allergies, chromosome disorders and heart defects. Although I have two stunningly healthy sons myself I am able to be really present and genuinely make a difference for these Mums in their hours of need. I am proud of that gift that I have. I am awesome at relating. Sarah

Hi Ali,
My Superpower is probably the same as most of your readers and yourself... its the ability to juggle life, kids, pets, jobs, marriage and hobbies all while doing the laundry and cooking dinner... etc etc... Good job all us superheros can multi-task :0)

LOVE this!! What a wonderful reminder, and what beautiful jewelry.
My superpower is a having a really good grasp of the big picture, abstract stuff that influences our lives combined with lots of attention to the little things that make life so meaningful.
Here's to being the the hero of our own story...

I would have to say my super power is the ability to carry children very easily...even twins. I never had any problem getting pregnant or during my pregnancy, it is a blessing and a super power that some women are blessed to have.

My super hero power is to never think that what I have taken on is TOO much. Then I look back and think...how did I do all that?
You'll know more what I mean when you start juggling two sweet kids! :)

My superpower is being able to put myself in someone else's shoes. Sometimes it can be a super weakness, but most times I think it makes me a better person.
