Intentional Word is an invitation to become very conscious about the power of our words as we observe our habitual use of language and begin to choose with intention the words we use. We are often oblivious to the ways our words reflect, like a mirror, the relationship we have with our beliefs and how even subtle changes in our words have a dramatic impact on our experience. In daily practice, Intentional Word can be as powerful as meditation, prayer and yoga. Moment by moment we adjust course and bring ourselves into alignment with what we desire. ~ s.e. bayles
Born and raised just outside Philadelphia, I moved to Chicago after college and San Jose in 2008. I now have two decades of experience in jewelry design including countless hours of mentoring by expert artisans and ten “hands on” years in fine jewelry manufacturing. As a result I bring a wealth of knowledge about materials, craftsmanship and style to the table. Beyond jewelry, I have a passion for words and the intentional use of language. I believe we create our experience in life and am writing a book on the topic because I am curious… What else is possible? ~ Suzanne Bayles
This blog is for all of us. Selfishly, it’s a way for me to have all of my projects in one place so I can see progress over time & know your thoughts about them. As the blog grows it will provide practical info on both jewelry and the intentional use of language. Strange bedfellows perhaps. Welcome to my world!

I am fortunate to have the love and support of family and friends across the country; one in particular has known me since I was barely old enough to ride a tricycle in her driveway. Much love to all!
