NEWSLETTER : February 2006

Dear readers,

Do you know the feeling? Everything seems rather quiet and yet you know that something is definitely going on?

My dark blue feeling right now re. international politics and developments in quite a few areas. I gather deception.  
Will find out eventually.

The world we live in needs a different way of life.  For quite some time now and not a day too early.

I think that people have to be of more significance in future, but please not just as consumers and tax payers.

People seem to count less and less, no matter how nice all the talking sounds and how blown up the postulations are.
Things and means are far more important now. But people are not a commodity.
Profitability, competitiveness, margins, so called added value etc..
There might be a lot of soul searching going on one day. 

Things count, cheap and cheaper, worthless stuff in abundance, the production as well as the remains asking for environmental trouble.  
There is a big bill adding up and I do not refer to natural resources alone.

People are even more cast aside than ever before. Everywhere. Companies and jobs go East. Futures wrecked at home. There is not much PROBITY - an important human virtue - left in business, if any.   How do some of the decision makers manage to sleep?

I am not just talking about China etc..  I mean our Western civilisation as well.

Not a nice atmosphere, neither here nor there.
Lack of confidence and general discomfort may lead to all sorts of symptoms.
No wonder that depression and psycho-somatic syndromes are steady growth areas. 
Insecurity is creeping up, replacing courage and healthy optimism - the elixir of life and progress to every society and so absolutely vital.

Hence people are seeking true values and inner stability.

MIZPAH - The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another.  Genesis 31

How beautiful this legendary blessing from the timeless parable is. So reassuring.

Recommending each other to the highest possible point of view.

The symbolic idea of a benevolent power keeping a tender caring watch over you and those special persons in your life.

Because of the MIZPAH Feelosophy I am in contact with people from all walks of life, different nationalities and beliefs.
All respond so warmly to MIZPAH and recently it was called true intercultural communication.

Mentioning "The Lord" does not at all translate to dogma, but goodness, kindness and the hope for something greater than our material reality.
MIZPAH means love from above. The power of good.

I was asked to give a little more insight into the meaning of MIZPAH jewels.

Especially in this day and age we all wish for our loved ones  and ourselves the benefit of trust and protection.

Always so throughout the ages and history repeats itself.

MIZPAH was and is the unique, "speaking" talisman against negativities, an enabler of positive thinking and like a  little spititual personal body guard or minder, a sentry of love.

MIZPAH translates to "shining light" as well as to "hopeful anticipation" in several languages.

It created a lasting, luminous memento over thousands of years and it is no surprise that the MIZPAH benediction on jewellery was treasured by so many generations and gladly, proudly owned.
Protective powers to the universal expression of endearing sentiments and especially great romance. Written plain or gem set, carved and intricatly engraved into little pieces of emotional art - MIZPAH jewels - all over the world. Their true, intrinsic value? Immeasurable.

MIZPAH connects. Wonderfully.
MIZPAH is the quintessential emotional bond between people in every situation of life.
MIZPAH jewellery is worn and given to signify this indestructable bond, overcoming time, distance and circumstances.

The ideal symbol of eternal affection for truly devoted couples and those who seek more in life, in love and beyond.

Foreverness!

Best wishes
