Thank you for celebrating with me, Candace A. Anderson, on Saturday, October 13, 2007, for Jewels in the Garden!  I wanted my birthday to be a celebration of and with the people who make me who I am today!  If you missed this spirited day of empowerment, jewelry shopping, dinner, giving back, live jazz and more, shame on you! :)  The day was filled with lots of laughs, bonding, and the most picturesque painting that God could have ever created just for us.

You are a Jewel in my Garden of Life!
Jewels

Until I love 
What I live
Then and only then
Is it fit to give


To give from the heart
And not some thesis
To give of my finest 
Not rags nor pieces

To share my passion
For people, places, and events
To feel the thrill
Of time well spent

This is my passion
This is my drive
This is the reason
I am so alive

This is the time
This is the place
This is the event
To marvel in grace

From the gems of the spirit
To the jewels of the land
From the strength of the village
I courageously stand

To shine like a diamond
Refined as gold
Under constant pressure
The meek becomes bold

We all have jewels
With the potential to share
The most beautiful jewel ever
Is the compassion to care
