Missing Tammy..

I dreamt of my friend Tammy last night. I dream of her every now and then. She is always in distress in my dreams, and they are vivid. She was my best friend when I lived in Bisbee a couple of years ago. I realized when I woke this morning that she died in September two years ago, now. Time flies. I try not to remember the actual date of her death..I prefer to remember her birthday, which was Valentines Day (soooo Tammy)! She was 38 when we lost her. I did everything I could to change her path, but people can only shift their own paths-one of many things I learned from knowing her.

Anyways, I felt her around so much this morning. And then, sure enough, one of her odd little signs came. The song I associate with her crossing over is Moby's, "God Moving Over the Face of Waters" came on. (its a powerful piece...click here if you want to hear it ..it takes it a bit to build up, buts its lovely).

Sometimes I think she tells me to take the leap and open myself more to what I am able to do. So many things hold me back, including my very well science educated brain....wondering when I will fully take the leap. There is never any turning back with things like that. Miss you Tammy!

My friend Tammy and her beloved doggies!

PS- while I was finishing this up, a psychic who works at a local resort called me and asked me to be in her intuitive development class this October...said she will even trade me for jewelry making classes. She really wants me to attend it-says she is picking people with rough talent. Click click click go the steps in my life when something is supposed to happen. OK, I give in :) for now. I'm a bit stubborn.

Bling for you = Veg for the Herd!

Off to the Tucson Fall Gem Convention this Morning

Every winter, the entire city of Tucson Arizona is taken over for about 3 weeks by the largest gem and mineral convention in the world. I have grown to be quite spoiled by this...a wonderful thing! Today I am going to the mini version of it for the first time--the September showing with only 3 or 4 sites as opposed to 30. I'm hoping to go through all of the sites today, as I have piles and piles of Christmas preparation work to be done plus a post op piggie (Gideon, in the picture left with his swollen neck before they removed all the infection) who needs lots of cuddles! I'm hoping to find some nice enhydros and phenacite for the Christmas rush. Nice Dioptase is always welcome in this house! I wish I could bring the doggie dog, but he hasn't had his neutering done yet (oh, how I still struggle with doing that to him) and he has the most vulgar habit of trying to lift his little furry leg and mark everything. Can't take that beast anywhere!!! sheesh! Wish me luck today!

Champagne Aura Quartz: This elegant crystal is created when quartz is alchemized with a fine layer of iron and other metals, creating a soft champagne colored sheen and imparting new properties to the stone. This crystal is thought to help the wearer see past old belief systems to create and implement more helpful beliefs congruent with their highest good. An excellent stone for drawing in assistance and peace from the Devic Kingdom and connecting with energy there (nature spirits, fairies, plant life).

Citrine: Thought to attract abundance and prosperity. Also a powerful cleanser, good for dissipating negative energy. Has a calming effect on nervous, high-energy people. Resonates with the solar plexus chakra.

Quartz Crystal: Most powerful healing and energy amplifying stone. Cleanses the aura and raises the wearer’s energy to the highest vibrations. Enhances psychic abilities and attunes you to your spiritual purpose. Helps clarify perceptions which might be clouded by human emotion.

PUPPYLOVE 'Talking Crystal' Tangerose Quartz Pendant

Fine silver (.99) and sterling silver (.925) wire is sculpted around a pretty 'tangerose' quartz crystal from Brazil, with both tangerine and rose colored hues present! Delicate coral glass seed beads have been woven into the wire work for adornment!

I call this a 'talking crystal' because I acquired it from a woman who experiences what seems to be clairaudience when it comes to crystals (they speak to her). Now, whether you believe in this or not, it is certainly interesting to at least consider since the newest quantum theory supports that all physical matter is made of pure consciousness. So, why wouldn't a crystal have something to say? I must admit that I am puzzled and intrigued by the idea...more often than not I believe that it is real and even wonder how I could learn to do this! And I wear one of her little messengers around my neck all the time now!

Here is what the tangerose quartz crystals had to say to her, verbatim:

"-We are Tangerose Quartz

-Made for Healing

-We scrub the central places of the body

-Love is for healing, pink is for love

-Many people are too heavy in the orange, yellow, and pink (Chakras) we help lift & remove

-Balance is important. We help balance

-We help anchor you to the earth but not too much
