One fine Colorado evening Sally Short was doodling, which is not something she often does. Her thoughts turned to love, as they frequently do, and at that moment she simply wrote “Love is all U need”, with the letters all stacked on top of each other.
That was the beginning of the What U Love Symbol. Sally kept refining this doodle until it formed a beautiful, symmetrical symbol. At the very last minute she added a peace sign because she is an old hippie (ok, lets not use the word 'old'…. lets use ‘original') and sent the design away to be cast in sterling silver.
Sally has always known she was destined to create a powerful symbol that meant something positive for many people - and her time has come!
Once we received the tangible symbol we knew it was awesome, but did not yet recognize how powerful it would come to be. It was not until the family was united during the holidays that we realized the symbol did not just say “Love is all you need” as originally intended. I saw the word “Believe”. How could that B?
It was then we became conscious that the symbol contained even more letters. We started with A,B,C,D…as each letter revealed itself the energy and excitement grew. Each of us helped discover the magic. Lo and behold we managed to find the entire alphabet! Everybody sees something different... sees what they need to see...all contained within the same symbol.
Isn't that amazing?? I mean really. One little symbol is the ENTIRE alphabet!! How cool is that? I think it's great and awesome!
I received the Sterling Silver symbol Necklace and It's BEAUTIFUL!!
I've gotten compliments on it already and So many people just love to tell me what it says for them.

This is such a lovely piece. It looks like old runic writing, or like a cryptic medieval symbol, or an ancient Sumerian engraving. In other words, it looks like the kind of symbol that people all over the world have been imbuing with meaning for thousands of years - it has that look of quiet power and significance. When you look at it you know it is not a random pattern, not an idle doodle, but an intentional piece - true art.
ReplyDeleteThe Turquoise and Turquoise Necklace is especially beautiful to me. It reminds me of the desert, and of the power and strength of the people of the desert.

ReplyDeleteI see the words 'all together with love' - I also like the 'What U Love' Symbol Earrings.
ReplyDeleteThe symbol looks like it says LOVE. That is what I see when I look at it. I like the earrings as well as the "Turquoise and Turquoise Necklace" The stones & color are beautiful on that one
