First released in February 2020, right before the worldwide Covid shutdown.

"Le Joie de Vivre" is a phrase I discovered years ago while researching my Cajun heritage that translates to "the joy of living". This phrase immediately ignites images of old video footage of my young grandmother spinning across the dancefloor at a fais do do, & another of myself paddling down my fav bayou during golden hour<3

To me, Le Joie de Vivre is the journey of growth through all the soul fueling aspects of life (like exploration, recreation, community = all the fun stuff!) and it’s learning and moving forward with these things in a way that wakes you up from the mundane & lifts you up with a calming weightlessness that sends you further & further outward, expanding and growing into new experiences & connections. A never-ending spiral of personal growth! An infinity spiral.

I've translated this into this series as a simple sterling silver spiral with three dots at the end, to represent the continuation of growth, with Louisiana Opal & Palmwood at the center.
