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.

The Locket Sisters on ABC's "Good Company" with Twin Cities Live, Minnesota Live

We've done a few TV appearances locally here in Minneapolis, but this May 2022 we were able to open our studio up to Kelli Hanson, a reporter from Twin Cities Live and Minnesota Live shows for her "Good Company" segment.

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.
