We lost a guiding light yesterday. After much thought, Jewels has decided to make her wonderful journal, Eyes of Wonder, private again. No public access.
While I completely understand her decision to protect herself and her family from the evil lurking on the internet, I regret losing her wisdom very much. Jewels taught us all, with grace and understanding, how to be a wife and mother. She did what all effective teachers do, she taught by example. Looking at her photos was like roaming through her house and garden. We all grew to know the family by name, we shared their joys and their sorrows, as well as the day-to-day activities of their everyday lives.
I can’t let this day pass by without a small comment on the love Jewels shared with people all round the world who didn’t know her, but felt they did. That was a nice thing to see and be a small part of. Jewels is a one off. So if you read this, Jewels, know that your words have inspired me, and I’m sure many others, to try to be better people, to hold our families close and to see the beautiful and joy in ordinary family life.
