I’ve heard the questions and speculations for quite awhile now. That little red bracelet on my arm, what does it represent? This one has been on for over a year and I thought it was about time to share the full story.
I like to keep my accessories minimalistic. There is a time to shine and make a statement, but on the regular, I love simplicity and my every day jewelry to be loaded with meaning. This little red piece of yarn strongly knotted around my wrist is no different.
Many have thought I was wearing a Kabbalah bracelet, however this string has no Jewish ties for me. The red string has actually been worn in various religions from Hinduism to Christianity, my faith, for centuries. In my family, the tradition was started by my grandmother. For as far back as I can remember she has been buying red yarn and praying over it before passing along to the intended wearer. She blesses the yarn with good fortune, and the belief goes that when it falls off great things will happen. The practice has been passed and now my mother sends the bracelets to family and friends and anyone who wants the protection.
I love that it not only has a positive energy, but that it’s a daily reminder of my faith. Aden wears one as well and has since he was born. When each of ours falls off (whether the right or left wrist), a new one is sent to ward off any misfortune. With a healthy, loving husband and son, an incredible career, unbelievable friends and a baby on the way, I like to think the blessings and power of this thin red bracelet are working.

what a lovely family tradition Tamera. it is sad today that the world we live in is so full of cruelty and spitefulness hatred and crimes we all loose our way from time to time I think how you choose to remind your self of your faith is a lovely thing and the very special story that it all started with your grandmother means you will always feel that special closeness to her. god bless you and your beautiful family Tamera.x
Everyone, God judges the heart. So, if by any chance Tamera has deemed the red string to be some sort of idol, then the Holy Spirit will advise her of such. I don’t think anyone here is judging her; on the contrary, I think awareness is being raised. I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason; so we must not discount the fact that there is now conversation which will lead us all to be more aware and conscientious of our faith and our relationship with Jesus–what He really represents. Our motives here, on this platform, hopefully is love and to bring glory to God. Ask for wisdom and revelation where it will be given freely. Blessing to all!!!!
I think this is a beautiful idea! Yes, the bracelet is just an object but it is of much value and significance . Some people wear necklaces or quoted clothing to tell the world of their faith. Tamera wears a red bracelet made of yarn and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. God is blessing her and that’s all that matters! I love your beautiful spirit Tamera, let the haters keep hating.
Look like a nice one wish I had one I Love the red color
I don’t know who wrote this article but as the cousin in law of Tamera. Her facts are invalid. She stats that the little piece of string represents good fortune but that’s WRONG! The prayer line
