Question 1733: Charm or I.D. bracelet? (and why…)

On, so very easy for me. There’s nothing wrong with an I.D. bracelet. In fact, probably there have been times when I was called Betty and Betsy and Peggy and Debby that it would have been nice to hold up a bracelet that proclaimed, “BECKY,” and say, “Talk to the wrist.”

Names are good, especially if you like yours and it has meaning for you.

But it’s charms, for this Aries…

Charms are places I’ve been, things I’ve seen. Dreams I’ve dreamed. People I’ve known who have loved me and who I have loved. They are my novels and my characters. Symbols with meanings for me. My varied interests: quirky, true, and passionate.

Microcosms, those bracelets, and I have a baseball in a little gold box that still needs to go on one of my character bracelets.

I have this sweet bracelet, too, that belonged to my mother. For many years, it had a charm for each of her first four grandchildren: Daniel, Josh, Sarah, Gina. One of the times she lived here, I was able to find a company that sold a similar one for her to add her fifth grandchild, Aaron.

Definitely charms.
