Jean Keil of Blue Water Beads Finds Her True Passion

I just read an article about how Jean Keil first opened her store called Blue Water Beads in Manasquan, New Jersey.  Jean was a computer software developer wanting a new career - something that was a "little more people focused".  She made jewelry as a hobby, but it dawned on her to make it into a career.  Thus, the opening of Blue Water Beads. 

"Beading is very calming," Keil said. "It is mindful enough that you have to concentrate on it, but not mindful enough where it is work."

I find it truly inspiring to read stories like this - of people who finally find their true passions in life - especially when it is in the realm of being creative.
