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.

Your family is beautiful. God bless you all and Congrats on your new baby. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about the love you all have for eachother. Family is everything…
I just want to add to what has already been said….when I was young during VBS, we made bracelets of red=blood, white=pure ness, yellow=don’t even remember now…lol…anyway, I think she is trying to say that her Grandmother or Mother prayed over them with the blood of Christ for blessings…she is just trying to be a little PC for many other fans who may not be Christians. That doesn’t make her less Christian, just human. Though she should not be worried what others say…..but we all have been there.
Jesus is so enough!!!!
Hey Tamara can I have 3 of those or do I have to get them and bless them myself?
I am a big fan of you and your sister! I have 2 boys! :-)
Its Kabbalah, Period. No matter how u slice it or change it up. And anyone that knows the one and only living God, know the truth. All you NEED is Jesus in your heart! Not some symbol to remind u of ur faith. Its sad because I remember when you were a Christian, but I also know to stay relevant in the industry, one has to mislead others and try to push them as far away from Jesus Christ as possible. Every Celebrity from Madonna to Rihanna wear that red string too and I know they Dont believe in Jesus Christ. Im sure u know in your heart what u are saying is not true. Ill pray for you and your family.
But she said it was no Kabbalah, you can’t tell her what she meant or meant to say you don’t k ow her heart so leave the judgement to God. She didn’t used to be a Christian she is one and has always said so and openly displayed her faith. And not every entertainer is a satanist
