If you had to think about whether or not you have a favorite bug, which would you choose. For me, I would choose Lady Bugs. Lady Bugs have been my favorite for a long time and for many reasons. They are quiet, calm bugs that never scared me when I was a little girl.
I grew up in a part of the country with wise, hardworking women who knew a thing or two about telling a good proverb or finding the right metaphor for the situation. Old wives tales and superstitions were whispered over coffee along with the daily gossip and as children we really did avoid stepping on the sidewalk cracks as we rushed to where ever we had to go to ensure our mother’s safety.
This is when I was first introduced to the story about the lady bugs. I don’t know how old I was when I first heard it, how many times I heard it for that matter for how many different situations it was applied too… but it stuck with me so I will share it.
When I was young I used to love hunting for lady bugs in the meadows near my home. I would run through the tall grass, searching the grass tops and down below near the earth. I would turn over rocks and lean in so close to the tree bark that the smell of the moss made a home in my nose. 
It would feel like hours of searching and searching. Then exhausted, I would fall into that same tall grass and drift off and take a nap in the sun. When I woke up, slowly sitting up and looking around to remind myself where I was, I would notice something on the hem of my dress, then also on the back of my hand. Quickly realizing the Lady bugs had found me. The tops of the grass all around, my shoestrings, and the palm of my hands.
The moral of this story is that sometimes when we put so much effort into the hunt, what we are hunting can be elusive. But if we just relax and enjoy ourselves, the thing we are hunting for, will come to us.
Sometimes what we are hunting is a boyfriend or a husband. Sometimes it is a promotion at work or a better job. Sometimes it is the goal to start a family or many other things to which we aspire to. I try to keep the symbol of the Lady Bug in my life to remind myself to slow down, to relax, to be patient and what I am hunting will come to me. In subtle ways, push pins, sticky notes and even my purse hook.
I use my purse hook daily and the decorative Lady Bug serves as a constant reminder to me. It is designed with a crystal center and sparkly crystal embellishments. It is very pretty and functional and I get compliments all the time.
The Key Chain USB is also available in a clear crystal Lady Bug that is both fashionable and functional. Whenever someone comments on my key chain or purse hook, I use the moment as an opportunity to share the story and wisdom that has stuck with me for all these years. Everyone can benefit from taking a step back occasionally and the lady bug is a great way to remind yourself to take a nap in your own “tall grass”.
