    A shiny gold and silver necklace that I pulled out of my jewelry box for my daughter to wear made me remember…. standing on the back porch steps and my Dad was saying, “Who is this lovely lady?” He picked me up and carried me to the truck. It was raining and I could smell the wet leaves. We were going trick-or-treating and I was dressed up like a gypsy with lots of blush, lipstick, a fancy scarf, and the shiny necklace. I must have been 4 or 5.



  2. Recently I was browsing the health and beauty section at Whole Foods just to play with the samples and see what was new. I found solid perfume, something I had not seen for a very long time. It reminded me of a locket my mom has tucked away in a jewelry box with solid perfume – I can still bring the scent to mind. I remember playing with it when I was a little girl.

    I picked up the perfume and sent it to my mom. It was then that I finally heard the story: the locket was something my mom wore when she first starting dating my dad. He took and hung it from the rear view mirror of his car so he could smell it and think of her when they were apart. Perhaps I should ask my dad for his version of the story…

    Thanks for having me, Christie! The event page now has a schedule. Christie is on at Noon PDT on Saturday, Oct 29th (2pm Central time).

      Andrea, love the story of the locket. What I think is so interesting is that our parents have all these stories and memories that they haven’t shared simply because nothing has triggered the memory.

      So looking forward to chatting with you again at the Grand Opening!!



  3. […] series called Women Branching Out. My interview is up this week! You can watch the interview here (it’s a video […]



  4. Christie, I just love this interview series you’re doing! I feel like I get to be a fly on the wall in a fascinating, relaxed conversation. Having it on video is extra-cool.

    I totally resonate with your inability to mail off your Journey Box item! It was really hard for me to ship mine off — I was really anxious it might never come back (bad Post Office experiences have a way of putting the fear of god in you…)

    I’m looking forward to Andrea’s grand-opening!
