  Speaker 1: I know it always seems kind of fun just to
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: jump onto Spotify or iHeartRadio and, oh, there's my favorite podcast.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: But what would happen if that one author that you've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: got for a podcast host is actually hosting 21 different podcasts?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's the thing. We're all doing a network of podcasts.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: That's why I always say go to their websites, arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's that one place where you can find four stories.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You've got your favorite park. You've got your favorite place
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of solitude. Where are you writing this down to preserve
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: for a future self? A little bit too heavy for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you today? Oh, it's not when you go to four stories.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Only on arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hates me,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the question guy. You know, the dude that's always asking
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: questions because it's so much fun to research for answers.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: One of them, are there fashion rules when it comes
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to wearing religious jewelry? Which way should the cross be pointing? Plus,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Is cremation jewelry? Is it the fad that it used
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to be? My name is Harrow. I'm a daily writer,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: call it the daily mess because it's a chronological walk
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: through an everyday world. It is my morning writing. When
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's time to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture will always become clearer. This
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is the Daily Mess. A lot more people are wearing
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: rings that feature the religious cross. Now, some crosses are
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: pointed away from the body, while others, the base of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it is pointing toward them. Is there a right or
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a wrong way to wear religious jewelry? Well, the good
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: news is there is no universal way to put on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a cross on your finger. A cross pointing outward truly
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: does symbolize an open display with your Christian faith. Now,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: if your choice is to have the top of the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: cross pointed toward you, that's viewed more as a personal
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: reminder about your faith. Now, either way, it's a huge
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: message that clearly says the cross on my finger is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a part of who I am and I'm not afraid
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to show it. Are people on the outside offended by
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the presence of a cross on a ring? Not really.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Most see it and then move on without really saying anything.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The subject of religion can be one of those things
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that will divide a cloud, yet a cross on a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: ring isn't seen as being a negative, especially if you're
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: wearing it peacefully and personally. It has been known that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: someone who does bear a cross on their finger has
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: been known to twist it so that the cross is
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: not showing, all in the way of protecting what it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is that they physically believe. Hey, coming up next, I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: very guilty of this, is the fad over for cremation jewelry. Hey,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. I'm guilty
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of this. But was it only a fad? People who
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: wear necklaces holding the ashes of those that they love
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and they miss truly. Well, here's the thing. It's not over.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Nor is it seen as being a fad anymore. Physically
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: wearing someone's ashes around your neck is now a memorial tradition.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Recent reports show that cremation jewelry sales are extremely active,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: about 100,000 pieces a year. Now, the style itself has
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: changed over the years. The broader reason why it exists
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: is because cremation is the choice today in the U.S.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It's an open door for families to search for small
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: personal ways to keep their family together. I mean, there
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for a while, it was the jewelry we all showed off.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That attention-grabbing routine has slowed way, way, way down to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: more of a private remembrance. And what's the new items
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: placed inside with the ashes? Human hair. Oh, wow. That's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit different, a little emotional, but hey, perfectly
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fine to me. Because I have dog hair that I've
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: kept with the ashes of those that were once with me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we're weird. Just know it's not
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a fad. It is a tradition. I'm Arrow, and that's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mess.
