Life Happens...Sparkle Anyway! TM

What Is Sparkle Mining?

Sometimes life gets tough, we stuff our real feelings , "suck it up" and just get on with it. Think of this as an "emotional bandaid" of sorts. The problem is when we continue to stuff our feelings, over time we will begin to feel jaded, not so happy... sometimes we just feel like we are going thru the motions of life. We can even forget what USED to make us happy, what made us SPARKLE.

Sparkle Mining is a safe place to start reclaiming your joy- your sparkle. It is full of resources to help you start mining... start your emotional "search and rescue",then cleaning up, polishing and reclaiming the lost parts of yourself so you can sparkle again!

  3. I am soooo glad you have begun this blog, I need this so much. I have stuffed so much hurt and anger inside for the past year that it's nearly caused me to shut down. I battle it, but still ... you are giving me so much hope to look up and get going again, and leave behind the ones who don't deserve a really nice person like me. Not that I'm perfect, but hey I really am a nice person! Hugs and adding you to my sidebar reading list. Mary

  5. So glad to have discovered your blogs. They are so inspiring. The fairy tree looks wonderful. I love sparkles and baubles too! Thanks for visiting my blog and suggesting taking the video camera. I haven't used the camera in years and had to look a little bit for it, but I have it sitting out to get mom's stories tomorrow when I see her.

  12. Happy Pink Saturday!

    This is a great blog....Stephanie of Angelic Accents said you'd put my link on your sidebar. Wow...what an honor..thank you. I don't think I always sparkle :) but I try to add a teensy bit of humor to most posts.

    This blog is truly a comforting and inspiring place to visit. . .we all need to be reminded about the things in life that can add that "sparkle"...especially when times are no where near the sparkle level.

    I will check back often.....I'm a follower now, too! And I will help spread the word.....cuz I want you to hit the 200 part so we can see who wins that amazing tree!! Oh and that cuppy cake....that's awesome, too!

    Have a lovely weekend! dana

  15. Good Morning Tobi Sweetie...
    Oh what a wonderful surprise to open up Sparkle Mining. You have done such a beautiful job dear heart, just beautiful. I LOVE it. Thank you for considering me an angel of love.

    I just added your button to my scroll bar. (I thought the other one had ended so I deleted it. But will keep this one up until we hit 200 smackers.)

    My heart is "SPARKLING" and my mind is "HAPPY". Thank you for considering me one of your beautiful sparkling angels. I am SO following dear one. What a wonderful place to share our thoughts with you, and be inspired. Many squishy hugs sweetie and SO much love, Sherry

  16. I am totally new here and I love your sparkly blog. Now I want to see the other one. It is absolutely charming. Love your side bars and all those darling cut out pics. I truly feel like I'm riding on a beautiful cloud here. I am now following you. I hope to get to 200 soon as I've been blogging for 6 months now. But I don't have a fab giveway like you do. Those giveaways are both SO over the top. Glad to have found you on Pink Saturday.
