BE A PEARL!
HOW A PEARL IS FORMED
When a single grain of sand enters into the living membrane of an oyster, it causes the oyster fits of conflict and irritation. The oyster’s reaction to it continually coats it and over time, the grain of sand is eventually transformed into a pearl. The pearl symbolizes deep inner change that now shines with beauty outward to the world. The latin word for pearl literally means “unique”, attesting to the fact that no two pearls are the same.

PEARLS AROUND THE WORLD
Girls just like you all over the world are joining together to shine in unique and creative ways in their own communities.

HOW TO START
Look through all the pages on our site under Shining for Girls. Then consider purchasing a copy of Ocean Star and a set of You’re Designed to Shine! This way you can read first hand how our movement started and see for yourself if you feel connected to what we are doing. Our hope is that you will gather some girls in your local community and take them through the six sessions of You’re Designed to Shine!
