Marti Heil

When I was in my 20's, the idea that I would first define myself as a mother at a future point in my life would have not only have been unthinkable--it would have been laughable. I had no concept, at the time, of the magnitude of that job description. Some people mistakenly think it means I have "lost" myself or that, in some way I have diminished self-esteem. On the contrary. Try it sometime. You will discover the journey of finding who you are by trying to guide your children, of educating others while educating yourself, endeavoring to facilitate dreams without commandeering them, seeing the beauty and innocence in each child and trying with all your heart to preserve it. Secondly, I am a friend. Finally, I am an artist--a musician, a designer, a writer, and a music promoter. I have a two-part site for the jewelry I design-fablesintheair.com will take you directly to my whimiscal store and fablesbymartiheil will take you to another world in which I hope you find a respite and delight.
