Valentine's Greetings!

WARNING! NEW PRODUCT TEASER!

I am TOO EXCITED about our new product reveal, so far! Last night, the beautiful Chrissy Weems (co-Founder) showed us a lot of new product coming available for purchase in early January! I cannot get over the little Message In A Bottle charm! How cute! Men, if you need some ideas on what to get your girl for Valentine's Day, please message me! Don't get her something that means nothing AGAIN this year. Get her something that speaks to her heart about your story, no matter if it's the beginning or middle of your tale. 

There will also be a plate that will fit in the regular sized large Heart Living Locket that says "I Kind Of Like you A Lot" and you can pair that perfectly with the new Do You Like Me? Yes or No note charm! How adorable!

Happy Times

Some people think that a work from home, direct sales 

careers are "easy". Those people are insane.

The average adult person spends 40-50 hours at a "job" they HATE. I can honestly say, I work my business wherever I am, whoever I'm with, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and I LOVE it.

Origami Owl allows me to help other people to tell a story. Whether it's their story, a story that means a lot to them or someone they love or something that is completely fictional! I can help people realize who they want to be and help them plan to be that person. 

Now, is all of that in my job description? No. I sell Origami Owl and help to inspire people to be their best. The rest of it is just my passion. I believe all people have a purpose in life and that purpose is found through their God given passions and talents.

It is my job to talk to people and LISTEN to who they are, where they are in life, who and where they want to be in their life. 

To me, THAT is what Origami Owl is all about. To me, it's not just jewelry. To me, it's God's greatest gift.... People. And, God's greatest to people? Well, that would be their journey in this life.

I don't even know what I would call myself. But, for now, I'll just say my title is "Happy". 

I talked to my husband, and as we are getting ready to close on our house in about 2-3 weeks, I am excited to say that we are thinking about starting the research so that we can possibly start a not for profit in order to set up a hotline for those in crisis. Domestic violence, mental health issues, that sort of thing. I just want to help people. 

But, don't you worry! I have plans to stay with Origami Owl as long as I can! I love the jewelry and the fact that it touches EVERYONE. Because THAT is who I want to help. 

Keep your chin up! It's almost 2015!

Be You! You Are Wonderful!

Do you know what you're worth? You are absolutely worth EVERYTHING. You have special gifts nobody else has. You have talents that could be used for good! You could help other people, no matter who you are, what you have been through or where you're from. 

If YOU make a plan, YOU can take action and YOU can live your dreams! 

Don't give up and you can be your own boss, live your life the way YOU want, make the connections and money you want! Just keep it up!  

People think that they are stuck in their lives, being what the world wants them to be and doing what the world wants them to do. But, I'm telling you right now that if you just be uniquely YOU, work hard and develop your skills, you will be unstoppable in your business, personal life and be HAPPY!

Just be you!

Love you all!

That Will Make Me A Success

This week, I have realized the real power of social media! 

I have been following the direction of my beautiful, wonderful mentor, Jill "Jilleysue" McCarthy and it has really been paying off on my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook! I am making so many connections and friendships through my different blogs and I am so glad I am able to spread joy, peace and love... But, especially peace, love and understanding for those with mental illness, like I have. 

I started my Dissociative Identity Disorder blog before I started selling Origami Owl. As a matter of fact, my business started because of the Childhelp organization Origami Owl has paired with. It helps children in child abuse situations and, since my "DID" is a direct result of trauma in my own childhood, I knew this was the company for me. Boy, was I right! The gorgeous jewelry is just a HUGE PERK! I have never loved a company more. 

Now, with my amazing mentor and the gift I have been given in order to survive my past, I am able to share my story and help those with stories similar to mine. I just love people and some day, I know I am going to change this world for the better and I will try to do that very thing EVERY day. 

At this point, I am in the process of writing a book of a series of letters to "misfits" to give them hope and peace, as I have never felt as if I have fit into the crowd. It will also include some of my case file. I'm hoping I can do it justice. I have an amazing story that could help so many. That's all I really want to do. That's what will make me a success. :)

Talk to you all soon!

Touch Someone's Life, Wear Origami Owl

I love the feeling when I am able to touch someone's life. I love when people share their stories with me. I feel truly blessed to have the "disability" that I have, so that I can help relate to others' struggles and constant battles. Origami Owl gives me the way to meet other people and network. It also gives me a way to tell my story and hear the stories of others. It gives me a way to reach out to the lives of everyone around me. It is truly a blessing. The beautiful jewelry is just a perk! Being able to wear your story, so you can touch the lives of others' is priceless.

Love you all!

Jessica

Really Live!

When you are living your life to the fullest, you are LOVING your life. 

Are you loving the people who love you? Are you doing your very best at a job you love? Are you happy about your house and friendly with your neighbors? Are you active when you have down time? Do you participate in activities outside of your home and work? If not, you are not living to the fullest. 

Of course, all situations are different and you may not be able to do all of that and still live to the fullest. It's a frame of mind, honestly.

Are you stuck in a job you hate with people who don't respect you? Are you looking forward to lunch before you even GET to work? That is NOT living life to the fullest. 

If you don't really live, you won't love your life. If you don't love your life, YOU are the only one who can change it! 

I know many people feel stuck. You are not stuck. Pick yourself up, forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow and really live and love TODAY. 

Just a thought!

Fountain or Drain?

Are you a fountain or a drain? Positive or negative? 

Have you ever had a friend that you love dearly, but hate to see coming a lot of times because they are a "Debbie Downer"? They seem to leave you feeling less than when they showed up. Those people are a drain on other people. It doesn't mean they are bad people. They just see things negatively. 

Then, do you have that friend that brings you light and hope. This person motivates you to be the best person you can be. This person is a fountain. They see things positively and they sow positive vibes to everyone else.

Do you want to be a fountain or a drain? Sometimes it is very hard to change the way you think because you may have fallen on hard times. (We all do!) Sometimes you feel hopeless. Do you know what you need to do? Find a fountain! Rely on that fountain to help get you motivated and back on your feet! 

The best part about a fountain is that even when they have their bad days, they tend to still pour love onto the people who need it.

If you're a drain, change your heart and count your blessings before your hardships. If you're a fountain, constantly keep your eyes open for those who may need you for inspiration and hope.

Most of all, love yourself. You are wonderful. You just have to keep your priorities straight. God may be blessing you in ways you never even thought of. 

And, always know I love you! I like to think I'm a fountain. If anyone needs to talk to me, email me! jessica.starwalt@yahoo.com and I would be happy to talk to anyone!

Got problems? Lay them on me!

Much love!

Jessica

Be Brave!

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for Jehovah, your God, goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.

I am a follower of Christ. I don't like to use the word "Christian" because I don't really like labels. This is a great verse for me. I do have an anxiety disorder, among other things we have discussed in the past. I do worry. I fret over nearly everything and I wish I didn't. 

But, Origami Owl has brought me out of that a lot! Now, I know I have a reason to talk to EVERYONE and I have the feelings that I am not alone in this world and that not all people are "bad". In fact, it has shown me that there is more "good" in the world than I ever thought before. 

It has given me the opportunity to restore my faith in humanity.

I now have an opportunity for people to love it, buy it, sell it, tell their story, help someone else tell THEIR story, touch someone's heart, honor someone, encourage someone and so much more. You get to name the story on your heart and whether you put together a shameless self-indulgence locket, like my Pretty Little Liars locket or your favorite fairy tale, like my Alice in Wonderland locket, or your goals and dreams, like my house, garden, health locket, you get to express what's on your heart THAT DAY. You can change it out all the time, because we are constantly changing. We are all different and we are all beautiful.

It has taught me that you can live with courage, even with anxiety disorder. Courage is being brave, even when you're afraid. THAT is what Origami Owl has given me. Not only has it helped my financial situation, it has given me a freedom and has helped my mental health in a way nothing else could.

So, are there times when you worry? Are you afraid? Be brave. You can do it. Live a life of freedom and try to stay positive. Maybe try something new. Maybe take a risk. Just do something to make your day AND someone else's day better. You will be glad you did. Because, it meant you really LIVED today.

Live out loud!

Grey Skies Today

Today, my heart is sad. I'm not exactly sure why. I think I'm just a little stressed. It should be a GOOD stress, but with me, stress is stress. Lol. 

So, today, I am letting my dogs comfort me and I am making lists and checking them twice, trying to figure out how to make Christmas FEEL like Christmas AND try to buy a house. Hahaha. We won't close until after the first of the year, so during Christmas this year, it will be the FUN part.... Inspections and appraisals. Merry Christmas! Hahaha. 

Now I can't wait until next year!! It will be a Happy Valentine's Day this year, though!

Well, I have to go make some more graphics! I love you all! Remember to buy your beautiful woman something sparkly for Christmas! www.jstarwalt.origamiowl.com

Believe In Your Future!

Sometimes your plan isn't exactly what you're supposed to do. You have to believe that things DO happen for a reason. Sometimes we are put onto a different path because we are MADE to accomplish MORE than most people can dream. 

Very few of us will live up to our potential. Very few of us will succeed in our dreams because we don't give it everything we've got. We don't buy into our dreams. We only think we are meant to go to work everyday and come home and maybe have a drink and then go to bed, looking forward to sleeping in on the weekends.

Friends, this is NOT what we are made for. We are made to really LIVE. We are made to have connections with people and have FUN! We are made to give thanks for the blessings we have been given and give glory to our Creator. We are made to love and be loved. 

So, believe in your future. Love everyone. Be happy with your blessings and if you only remember one thing, make it this.... Believe in yourself because YOU are made for greatness.

Wake Up On Purpose!

As I stood and looked in the mirror this morning, I realized that most days I get up, drink coffee, write and maintain my online relationships. I don't get dressed in clothes I would leave the house wearing. 

I realized I need to start dressing the part, if I'm going to be successful. I need to get out of the house and see people and smile at people and get to know people, in a real setting. The internet is WONDERFUL, but I fear it has taken over for real relationships in my life. 

I do have an anxiety disorder, which is a bother. But, I can get through anything if I try. I need to get myself into the mindset that no matter what happens, I can control ME and that is enough. 

I know I need to invest in myself, so I started reading books that will make me more valuable, with more knowledge; skill sets. I feel really good about where my life is right now and I can't wait to see what is in store for the future! How exciting. 

So, tomorrow, I'm going to get dressed and wake up on purpose. I might even leave the house! (Who knows!)

Love Always,

Jessica
