Lockets: A Universal Healer and the Genesis of The Locket Sisters

Have I ever told you about the moment The Locket Sisters was born? Or perhaps conceived is a better word? I think of it often this time of year because it's related to this season we're in, and entering, of “back to school” and the milestones and separations and new beginnings held within. Let me share it with you now. Almost exactly five years ago my then-three-year-old daughter, Penny, star…

She loved to walk and in more recent years had trained for and hiked El Camino de Santiago in Spain. In her honor, my husband takes many walks with a weighted backpack. It has helped him process and grieve his loss. I want to gift him this lapel so he can ca…

What my physical pain is teaching me.

Last week my family and I, along with some of our dearest friends, camped in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) for four nights. It's wild there. All gear, everything, must be paddled in by canoe, and carried on portages that connect the vast land of lakes. You can't reserve a campsite, and there are only a few on each lake. It offers an opportunity to sync with nature in a way t…

The Locket Sisters on NBC's Kare11 Morning Show and Fox9 Good Day for Mother's Day

When I was a kid there were a few local TV news anchorpeople who were iconic in my home. And one of them was Belinda Jensen from the local NBC affiliate here in the Twin Cities. When I found out The Locket Sisters would be featured on Kare11's weekend morning show I called my parents to let them know, and my Mom asked right away, "Will you be on with Belinda Jensen?" When I arrived that weeke…

NEW: Marilyn Square Locket Necklace in Silver and Gold

Something new, something square and small but not tiny. Something of a namesake legend, after my mother, the woman who mothered me, birthed me, connected beyond it all, transcendent of this form, of differences in spirit and belief, style and design. The Marilyn Locketmakes me think of a square peg in a round hole, which is kind of my Mom and I. So similar, so different, I gave her a helluva…
