“What are you waiting for?  Wear the pearls!”

This statement woke me from sleep at around 3:00 a.m. recently.  I had selected a picture earlier that week for a collage that I was creating to honor my inner child.  The image was of a young girl, no more than six, draped in strand after strand of pearls.  So, I believe these pearls of wisdom came from her.  At 3:00 in the morning, I really didn’t want to ponder the message, but when I woke up later it was still ringing in my head.   What was the message?  What did that wise child want me to know and recognize?

Well, I can’t remember the last time I wore those pearls.  Etiquette has taught me that pearls are meant for special occasions only.  So, I think I’ve worn my strand of pearls maybe a dozen times in the last ten years.  They have a special place in my jewelry box tucked in the bottom drawer.

My little “pearl girl” wasn’t whispering, but shouting, “Get those pearls out!” So that very morning, I got them out and wore them proudly with my faded denim skirt, and white t-shirt with a hole on the side.

Several people that day looked at my necklace with an uncertain stare, but no one said anything specifically.  I secretly wished they would have because I wanted to share my story.  While I was working, I caught myself sliding my fingers over the pearls which made me smile.

I know that the pearls were only a metaphor for me.  They represented everything that I covet, everything that I stuff away in a dark drawer and only bring out once in a while for special occasions:  my wedding dress, my grandmother’s antique china, my dark purple eye shadow.  Life is meant to be lived.  Not once a year, not once a month, not once a day…but every single second.  All that matters is this moment.

So what are you waiting for?   Take the pearls of wisdom from my “pearl girl” and grab whatever you’ve been saving, and wear it, drape it, and use it.

Life is meant to be lived.  We only have today.  We only have this moment.  Saturate yourself in living loudly and outrageously.  Be daring.  “What are you waiting for?  Wear the pearls!”
