We stumbled upon I am Lost and Found on Google and discovered the talent of Jamie Edwards, a writer and photographer who inspires travel.

Jamie Edwards is an ardent sharer of her favorite experiences. Her writing aims to transport people to destinations so they feel right there with her as she waits for the perfect shot. 

In the literal sense, travel has taken Jamie to far corners of the Earth—from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic continent. In her travels, she bungee-jumped in New Zealand, climbed the Tiger's Nest in Bhutan, and tracked silverback gorillas in Uganda. 

Jamie will join us for seasonal conversations to share her experiences about the places she's been, hoping it inspires others to travel, too.

We are on a journey with color. 

On the Luxuries for the Soul website, we design limited-edition fine jewelry collections inspired by color, crystal, and Feng Shui. This small bite episode is a Lesson in Luxury on color psychology and the spiritual, legend, and lore representing a specific hue.

The Mocha Mousse Collection, inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year®, is a retreat to the sacred space within, a place to plant seeds of healing and rebirth for a grounded, inspired, and inclusive future for all.

According to Feng Shui, the Bagua, an ancient energetic map, is divided into nine sections, each representing a specific aspect of life, activated by colors and supporting elements.

Mocha Mousse represents the Earth Element, which nurtures and supports growth. Gemstones possess potent healing properties, amplify your deliberate choice to manifest, and, when worn, harmonize your inner and outer worlds.

Indulge in a consultation, acquire a powerful talisman, and pamper yourself with Luxuries for the Soul. You deserve it.

Enjoy this gentle and meaningful conversation with Marie Bowser, a Licensed Acupuncturist, Feng Shui practitioner, and expert in working with the five elements. We discuss living in attunement with the seasons for finding your way of ease through more rest with fewer plans for a more discerning 2025.

Marie encountered Chinese Medicine through her health journey dealing with corporate stress, burnout, and hormone imbalance. The relief she experienced fueled a vision for helping others and a complete career change. 

Her studies and continuing education eventually brought her deeper into the spiritual aspects of the five elements—qigong, Daoism, the I Ching, Nine Star Ki astrology, and Feng Shui—all of which she uses to help her patients and community develop and sustain self-compassion and empowerment and the unwavering ability to move lingering stagnation through their bodies, spirits, and lives.
