Aloha and welcome!

My name is Katie and I love collecting sea glass and transforming it into a keepsake that connects to you and your story. My love for sea glass came from daily walks along the beach and seeing beautiful fragments of glass glittering on the sand. I would collect the sea glass and put them in jars all over my house.

I was touched when I discovered the process these pieces of glass go through to transform from sharp shards of glass discarded into the ocean as trash to a stunning, smooth and meaningful treasure.

I loved the symbolism in the refining journey each piece of sea glass goes through to transform itself. It completely surrenders to its conditions, the ocean, the waves it rides and the journey it takes. At the end of its journey, it comes out polished, refined and empowered to let its light shine. It is not defined by the storms it endured or the times of smooth sailing, but instead those experiences helped to refine and shape it into something more meaningful, more precious, powerful and beautiful.

The metaphor of the sea glass relates to all of us. We are all here on Earth to experience, learn and grow. I believe that we are here to become the person our Creator wants us to become. If we can learn to let go and surrender, our rough edges can become smoothed. We can become refined through our journey, and we can inspire others along their way.

I share bits and pieces of my sea glass finds and my connection to the sea glass over on my Instagram page @simplyseaglasshawaii

Feel free to follow along! Sending my love and aloha from the beaches of Hawaii!

Mahalo, Katie Taggart
