Life is short, so wouldn’t it be great to feel like you can sail through it with ease? Imagine the exuberant feeling you might have it you didn’t get tripped up by the bumps and curves that you meet along the way! But if you are like many people these days, you may:

• Feel heavied out by the floundering economy.
• Find yourself wallowing in misery over all the conflict in the world.
• Get depressed every time you make a mistake.
• Yell at your kids when they spill grape juice on their shirt.
• Freak out because you burned your dinner.

It’s easy to get reactive, but have you noticed how your upset only adds more difficulty and drains your energy?

That’s when the Power of Yellow Gold can help you out.

Chaya here… Thanks to a great Yellow Gold lesson I got when I was first learning to be a glassblower, I’m a reformed drama queen.

I was apprenticing with a local artist named Chip. One afternoon I watched him for an hour, as he crafted an amazing blue vase with intricate, elegant silver edging. From liquid, molten glass the vase slowly came into form.

He heated and reheated dozens of times while he created, colored, nurtured, tweaked, shaped, and nudged. When it was done, it was going to breathtaking ~ and probably worth about $500.

Just before he put it into the glory hole (fire) for the last time, a gust of wintry air came through a crack in a window, cooling it too much. Still on the end of the blowpipe, he slid the vase back into the fire.

“Ka-Powwwww!” The vase exploded.

I sucked in a huge breath and held it. I waited for Chip to explode. His creation, his artwork, his high dollar vase was gone ~ poof, just like that.

Chip just got out the broom and started sweeping up the mess.

“Oh my God, Chip, aren’t you freaking out?” I said (because I was).

He looked at me calmly and said, “It’s just glass. It breaks. You just gotta get over it.”

Now whenever we break anything at home, even it’s a piece of cherished pottery or my own glass, I just remember Chip and his reaction….it’s glass, it breaks.

It’s amazing how much stress is saved by not reacting with “Oh No!” and a bunch of drama! Who knew?
