Dear Reader,
This week is "Ask Suzanne." If you have a question you've always wanted to ask, now's the time. Email your question to me at: Suzanne@Emailbookclub.com
I won't be able to personally answer every question, but if I use your question in my column, I'll send you a free book as a thank you. I'd love to hear from you.
"What's up with those pearls?" Rebecca Shimming and Lori Estey wanted to know.
"Suzanne, I enjoy your columns very much, especially when there is a picture attached! It's so great to put a face to your name and I love that you let us into your life in this way.
Before I click over to see the picture, I think, 'Will Suzanne be wearing her string of pearls in these pictures? Surely not while hiking the waterfalls, surely not while baking cookies, surely not while spending time with her grandson, and lo and behold, every time, you've got your signature pearls on. So my question, is there a story to this necklace?"
(Suzanne replies)
You two women are very observant. Yes, my string of pearls and pearl earrings are my jewelry staples. And no, the pearls are not real. I'd worry way too much about wearing them if they were.
They may look like a simple string of pearls, but actually they're a feel good thing for me. A few years ago when I bought my first pearl necklace, eventually it dawned on me that I was wearing that necklace every single day--what would people think? But after some reflection I decided that people would think I must like wearing that pearl necklace--and I do. It's comforting and it's one less decision I have to make every day. Whatever I'm wearing, a T-shirt, shorts, or a business suit, pearls go with anything--even my nightgown.
Thanks for asking and thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher
