The Creative Spirit of OM

OM’s are true originals in every sense of the word… born in Rhode Island by a lighthearted creative spirit named Miquette Bishop. Always encouraged to follow her heart, Miquette comes from a family of artists and has been part of many creative happenings. However, she found her true calling and a profound connection when she created the first OM. OMs come from humble beginnings. In 2009, Miquette realized that buying the Christmas gifts she loved to give was not an option that year. Ever the artist, she viewed this challenge as a creative opportunity. She would make gifts out of clay; little symbols to remind her family and friends everyday that they are loved.

She began to work, and out popped a little gnome-looking creature with a scrunched up cap, who seemed to exude a remarkably peaceful, sweet energy. Miquette’s children told her he needed some friends, and that’s how the first community of OMs came to be.

But what is an OM?

They are symbols. Understood by all, they are whimsical, mystical forces who remind us that we are all one. They speak softly, but they speak the universal language of the heart.

They have possibilities as endless as the stars, which is why each one has a thoughtfully chosen star as its namesake. They remind us that there is no idea, dream, or individual who is more or less significant than the other. When we are feeling the desire to connect, they whisper to us that we are already connected. We only need to listen and look up at the stars to remember.

When an OM comes into your life, know that you are part of something greater and you are now connected to a global community rooted in Kindness, Consciousness, and Unity.
