It is with great joy I unpack all of my crystals after two months of not having a home or a plan to receive a home. They can finally breathe, and so can I, as we both unroll and let ourselves expand into our own space. A deep relaxation occurs.

I have a mixture of feelings right now. The Tuscon Gem Show is happening  and I am not going. I have chosen to stay home  this year for various reasons. I have mixed feelings about it but I know in the long term I have made the right decision for my business and my personal life, as much as I would love to go there.

So I unwrap these crystalline friends, one by one, my personal and business collection each receiving their own shelves. As each one is unwrapped my mind is taken to the stories that each one remembers and tells with a whisper. Some remind me of the people who gifted me the minerals – names oft forgotten but not their energy, nor their words as they passed the gift to me.

It amazes me how blessed I am, and how each of us is to receive these minerals and have them choose to work with us. I am so honoured and humbled in this work that I do. They pulsate their love and call me back to them, back to the shifting.
