GROWTH

Well you guys we are going to have a personal minute, just me and you. Today on twitter I did my daily devotional(for those who don't follow me on twitter, go to follow me on twitter on the right hand side of the page or go to http://twitter.com/SciAsia)and it read:

12/19 Today's Devotional
I will know peace when, I acknowledge that I have buttons that can be pushed. Today I am devoted to the sore, tender, and wounded places in my heart and mind!

Excerpt from - Until Today by Iyanla Vanzant


Now I thought about this quote and where I am in my personal life right now and said WOW I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT. Life brings change, and that change none of us can run from and be successful in life. We simply postpone the inevitable when we attempt at or run. No one said to us that this thing called life would be easy.It can be said that if you have and hold on to love it will soothe some of your growing pains, it will heal some of your hurts, and it will make you whole. Now the love I speak of has to be for self from ones self and then toward others. I know that in words it sounds great and easy but the reality of life is that it is not an easy task to achieve. So today I leave you with the thought of Self Love for healing all the parts of you, of me, and of us that are broken and bruised.


Peace and Blessings

Please pardon me for the lengthy break as I was, well busy with family life. I do however come back bearing great news...I have completed to new intuitive rings both using Carnelian Stone and Copper Wire. Let me give you some information on this stone:


Carnelian:




Carnelian is an agate class of chalcedony that is a stone of creativity, individuality and courage. Like all agates, it has protection energies. It can aid memory, including recall of past lives. It can assist one in finding the right mate. It is also a stone of protection in general and from anger, jealousy and fear. In addition it can help with manifestation of one's desires, and brings good luck. Carnelian can help ease or remove sorrows. It also helps stabilize energies in the home. Carnelian is associated with the root and sacral chakra. Physically, carnelian has been used to heal open sores, rejuvenate tissues and cells, rheumatism, kidney stones and other kidney problems, gall stones, colds, pollen allergies, and neuralgia.

Copper is said to give vitality and energy, it can amplify the thoughts and feelings of the wearer. It creates awareness of the self and balance. It helps with energy direction, healing, luck, love, protection and money. It also provides vitality and purification of the blood vitality and energy for the muscles and if worn close to the skin assist arthritis, rheumatism and inflammations.
