Self-Concept: writing assignment from class

I have always loved the color blue and green. When you mix the two you get the beautiful color- turquoise. I have always loved this color and worn turquoise jewels- I have had a unique connection to this particular turquoise ring my mother gave me and so I decided to research the stone some more: Turquoise is blue-green in color and its energies are “luck, love, protection, and healing.” My mother gave me this ring- hence, meaning that the stone will protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. Turquoise is the symbol of friendship and also brings peace to the home.

This is how I want to see myself and how I long for others to see me as: A person of hospitality, friendship, and love.

By cultivating my own relationship with God, I long to be a person who cultivates good friendships daily. This is my form of self-presentation I desire to have. We cannot go wrong in loving others on this earth. There is so much hate and tragedy in this world, I want to use all my energy in getting along with others. I want to help others with encouraging words and not drag them down by finding fault. This turquoise ring can help me remember to do that daily. “Be good friends who LOVE deeply. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Discover beauty in everyone. If you've got it in you, get along with everybody.”
