DreamingofDestin.com has always been a fan of the positive humor of Internationally known Author Loretta LaRoche and was excited to find that her daughter resides in our area. Ms. LaRoche's daughter, Laurie Beck, owner of Pilates By The Sea has now created a line of jewelry using healing stones and is about to release her first book. We asked Ms. Laroche to introduce Laurie to our site visitors.
'My daughter Laurie has always had an innate sense of style and a way of walking through life with grace and dignity. After being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, she became incredibly invested in a variety of healing models that have helped her stay in remission. Her strength and courage in the face of adversity have been remarkable and have made me extremely proud to call this amazing woman my daughter. Her jewelry line 'ChiBella' has become one more rose in what should have been a crown of thorns. Each piece is named after a characteristic that Laurie embraced in order to deal with the challenges of living with cancer, i.e. Serenity, positivity, courage. She has gifted me several pieces and I can almost guarantee that they will be noticed and admired. My wish as her mother, is that she will continue her path to enlighten those around her for years to come.'
Laurie is currently working on the release of her own book titled, Living to Tell. This book envelopes the daily stress and disappointment that we as human beings experience in our lives, and how she found the strength to push past the negativity and overcome her illness. Laurie choose eight intentions, which her jewelry line promotes, that have helped her through her dark period and continue to be powerful tools in her life. 'ChiBella' means Beautiful Energy, and has taken the elements to create exquisite pieces of jewelry that incorporates organic crystals, genuine pearls, stones and natural leather.
