Marti never gave up. She might look small and delicate; she might act demure and easily led, but she clung to her ideals as tightly as any vine that climbed towards the sun. Marti was a determined young woman. She would have been surprised to learn that the rest of the world mistook her agreeability for compliance; she would have laughed at the fact that her soft smiles and gentle ways allowed others to think that she followed their lead.
Marti went where she wanted to go. True, she nearly always went secretly; she didn't often share her thoughts or desires with others. She let them think what they would; she didn't really believe they would do otherwise, and saw no point in making waves.
Her quiet determination would see her through.

Cindy, you did it again! Stunning and gorgeous!
This is great, has that "something" I don't know how to express. I liked your creations - a bit different that you see mostly.
This is an incredible necklace. You are really talanted.
