Connie, what are you doing?




Building a Mystery, that's what I'm doing. Lots of you want details about my venture in Duck, NC.

Chris and I closed on a condo yesterday, one block into the town limits of Duck, NC. I am sitting here right now, facing east and the magnificent waters of the entire Atlantic ocean. I'm on the top of a hill, the ocean in the distance, massive. The front door faces the Currituck Sound, where sunsets spill kool-aid color all over the bottom of the sky.

For three months last fall I dreamt of massive ocean waves and donuts. On Jan. 13, I woke up from yet another donut dream and said, "OK, God, what is with the DONUTS???" I asked and answered myself, "well, what is a donut if not an edible bead?" On the 14th of January, I procured for the Connie Hanna Jewels, (an S-Corp.) a lease on a Soundfront retail space at Osprey Landing :1190 Duck Road. And then I went to Hawaii and became a certified yoga instructor.

Since returning from the island of Hawaii, I have become passionate about INSPIRING others to CREATE in order to ILLUMINATE their personal "ART" center, which happens to live where the heart does! I have a plan to live into this passion by creating a Shrine to Beads at Bead Your Art Out in Osprey Landing. What is a shrine to beads you ask? It's a showroom and a classroom and a shrine all in the same 1000 square feet with a big bay window on the Sound. It is so full of light, oh. I wish you could see it!! But soon enough!

My plan is to open the doors to Bead Your Art Out on April 10th. I'll keep you posted!

Om Shanti,
Means Peace
Connie
