The Magic of Ruby; Harnessing crystal energy to set intentions in your life
I believe that we have so much power over our lives, our healing and making changes. Much of that is energetic. Our energy goes where we put our focus, our emotions. But along with that, we also have to do concrete things in the actual 3-d. This grounds our intentions into our reality. This is why so many people, like me, do ceremonies. We light candles, use herbs, oils and crystals to add to our energy and call in the changes we seek in our lives. I like to also combine this


Ostara Spring Equinox Full Super Moon
What a beautiful and special equinox we are experiencing. As you may have noticed, the energy has been increasingly intense the last year and the beginning of this year. So many people are being forced to lighten up their life. To let go of the things holding them back from their peace, joy and abundance. We are being called to be accountable to ourselves. To heal ourselves. To un-become the person we know and become the beautiful, uninhibited, powerful being we always


New Year New Moon New Rules
A new year rolls in like one more wave hitting the shoreline. Consistent, predictable and always changing the structure of the shore. Celebrating a new year goes back about 4 millennia! Although each civilization celebrated at different times with their own traditions, the basis remained the same, it was a new start. A rebirth. A time of change and more opportunities. We have many traditions that are celebrated in current times around the world. One of the most popular i


Poetry for Perspective
I have felt a call to put pen to paper these days. I used to write all the time, poetry had always been a way for me to get through tough emotional times. I wrote a lot as a teen, but totally got away from it in my adult life. (these are some of my actual teenage notebooks of poetry!) I am once again embracing this gift and allowing whatever comes to pour out. Not surprising, it tends to be a a lot of empowering words, encouraging me to draw on my own strength and power,


The Power of Gratitude
Wouldn’t we all like to create more abundance in our lives? Why does it feel like sometimes things are going really good and then all of a sudden, BAM- nothing is going right? The law of attraction says like attracts like. So, we need to examine our thoughts that are happening when something comes up that is not to our liking (because thoughts are energy). If we are honest, most of us go right to the place of, “oh no, here we go, I knew things were going to good…..what is g


Permission
So, I have been making sure to allow more time to have heart to heart talks with the women closest to me. It is something I have needed deeply, and believe it or not, it is something I didn’t allow much time for during the majority of my life. It has truly fed my soul and kept me sane during some very rough times in my life lately. I am still figuring out if the reason I didn’t make time for this before. Is it because I didn’t love me enough to give myself that time to so


New Moon Dark Moon
Thank you to everyone who stopped by my first Bi-monthly Moon Sale last week. I hope your purchases bring you much empowerment in the weeks and months to come! Yesterday was the New Moon we were planning for. Time to set those intentions for what we want to grow and bring into our lives! Remember, the message I got for this month is time to love ourselves a little bit more. One way this can present itself is in looking ahead to what it is we really, deeply, madly want for


BeadFest 2018 and a Full Heart
Well, another BeadFest is in the books! It is always a whirlwind of preparations and endless bead making, that culminates in the coming together of friends from all over the country / world and the connection with the customers whom make it possible for me to do this for a living. I always come home exhausted, happy and with a full heart and this year was no different. It has been a tough, emotional year here for us and spending time with these friends filled my heart in wa


New Paths
Sometimes life takes a turn you did not see coming. For the past year and a half, I have been on a journey. Actually, it’s the same journey I have been on my entire life, I guess I am just finally just seeing all the pieces fall into place. As you may have noticed this past year I have been a little less focused on my beads and jewelry and more focused on other areas of my life. This is not because I am leaving them behind, they are still very much my passion and first lov


New Year Procrastination
My vision for this new blog, was to marry all aspects of my life together, and share it with you. My creations, my spiritual walk, my struggles and accomplishments. Two posts in, and here I am sharing one of my biggest struggles. I truly hope that through sharing my raw life with you all, that we can all learn. I hope you guys feel free to comment and share your stories and wisdom here as well. (Current state of my studio and I have been avoiding it like the Plague! ) I
