I attended a seminar this past weekend and whenever I pass out business cards at these events I inevitably get asked why I chose a peacock feather as a brand logo.

There are two reasons, actually.

First, there is how much peacock symbology aligns with my vision of Zuburbia.

For instance, peacocks represent pride in appearance and integrity and challenge us not to be afraid to show our true colors. And while peacocks appear in the mythology of many cultures, ultimately they stand primarily for Beauty, Knowledge and Power, which is the message I try to share every day:

the BEAUTY that is unique to every woman
the KNOWLEDGE that we should seek every day
and
the POWER that we share to change the world

Second, the peacock appears to be my own personal totem animal, appearing unexpectedly and often in my life. For instance, I snapped the picture above as I entered the Redwood City Sofitel Hotel at check-in last Wednesday. This beautiful mural was painted on a wall of the portico and I spied this proud little fella every time I walked through the lobby.

So, with peacocks on my mind, it’s no surprise that I chose this fab ring as today’s VPOD.

This Art Deco sterling silver peacock ring has fine detail and sparkling rhinestones and would be a fine reminder that you possess enormous reserves of beauty, knowledge and power all your own.

What an empowering find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Deja-Voodoo Vintage.
