The Upward Climb

Michael, USA

Life is always an upward climb, reaching for the next great thing. This glass bead has a dusty pink background. Running around the bread in the center, is a blue ladder design, reminding us to always keep climbing. On either side of the ladder, there are vines, in a lighter shade of brown. And, to finish off this elegant looking bead design, there are shimmering cubic zirconia, placed within the vines. Life is an upward climb. Always be ready to reach for what is next. 

The Designer

Michael, USA

My name is Michael Nylander, and I have a disability known as Strumpell Lorrain Syndrome, which makes it difficult for me to walk, and has me requiring the use of a walker. Still though, I do not let this stand in my way. I am the type of person that is always making others happy, and always reaching for my dreams, no matter what. I feel it is always important to reach for ones dreams, and to not let anything hold us back. Life is an adventure. And that adventure can be wonderful, if we always remember to reach for our dreams.
