One of my favorite charms, and one of the best-sellers, is this “charming” sterling silver frog pendant:

In this video, one frog SAVES another frog from the clutches of a snake by jumping on it.
I must say, I debated and debated about posting this horrifyingly, sickeningly, YET TOTALLY INSPIRING, video. If you can’t handle the cycle of life, DON’T WATCH. It DOES, however, have a HAPPY ENDING, though you might want want to skip to the end. I was in a funk for days after watching this, and that was even skipping most of the middle, but I decided that the message is more important than the “yuck.”
There are two messages here for me, really: The first, and most important, is to NEVER, EVER, EVER, GIVE UP! You can be literally up to your eyeballs in completely hopeless circumstances and still have a good outcome.
The second, and really equally as important, is that you don’t have to know exactly how you’re going to help…sometimes you just have to jump in with both feet and see what happens. But, don’t just stand by and watch.
What an amazing video! I hope it promotes more spunk than funk for you.
