For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by anything that sparkled.  I love remembering  my grandma’s costume jewelry and how those rhinestones splashed rainbows all over the room; it delighted not only my eyes but lifted my heart and made my imagination soar.  One of my sweetest memories is how she let my little hands pour over her treasure chest of dime store gems and pearls.

It was that early love of gemstones that rooted deeply in my heart.  I loved everything about them and dreamed of becoming a Certified Gemologist when I grew up.  On my way from here to there, however, God blessed me with my dear husband.  It was time to put my childhood dream aside while we set out on the adventure of our new life together.

Throughout my life, my love of the Catholic faith remained constant, but it wasn’t until my husband’s second deployment that everything came together and became Miracoli Rosaries.  It is the perfect blend of our Faith and all things rich and gemmy.

Looking back, it is amazing – and very humbling – to see how God has worked in my life, no detail too small to escape His loving attention.  What’s more amazing is that God loves each and every one of us with that same love.  Truly, we are blessed to be called His children.
