as a self identifying "healer" with no real "tools" but a lot of skills in the box, I decided to get my shit together

   i have had a love for crystals, rocks and minerals ever since I can remember, collecting and wearing them from the time I was a little kid..i remember my first opal at the very young age of 4 that I got as a necklace for my birthday thinking it was the most beautiful stone I had ever set my eyes on, probably creating and instilling a love for earths preciseness natural ornaments all the way back then..there is something so magical and beautiful about these magnificent and luminescent healing properties within natures core allowing us to enjoy its purest form of raw beauty..i have always turned to my crystals as a form of medicinal therapy with my own personal ritual attributes without ever really knowing what I was doing yet following my divine innate intuition..one year recently for all my manicuring clients, I decided to create crystal pouches using the intimate details they had shared with me over the year as a guide to offer support and love to them for my gift back during the holiday season..that by far was one of my greatest joys, that gave me such pleasure and satisfaction spreading love and encompassing a sense of healing..you would have thought that could have been an oprah AHA moment, but it clearly wasn't at the time..I have been sitting with my crystal loving self lately, trying to figure out my next great step upon my journey in this beautiful life I am traveling wanting to pursue and educate myself with a higher realm of understanding..as a self identifying "healer" with no real "tools" but a lot of skills in the box, I decided to get my shit together and gather some certifications that support my natural abilities and offer me a platform to better myself and still continue to do what I do now..sometimes the things we are most passionate about are the real clues that seem to be the farthest away and what we should be doing never giving it a real thought..we are strangled with the thoughts and feelings of what other people have for us, loosing sight of what makes us internally happy creating joy where bliss is lacking following along someone else's dream..my husband for a while now, has been encouraging me almost in a nagging kind of way to get my shit together and step into the role that is awaiting me pushing me to pursue my instinctive love for the occult where others had lead me astray..so as of last week (drum roll) I pulled the trigger and decided to put my foot in the pond and enroll as a student in my first certification course as a crystal healer..i am truly excited to expand my knowledge and wisdom that will begin to manifest and open up to other possibilities shifting the stagnant energy into unlimited flowing intense power of creativity..there is something really beautiful when you are able to step fully into your truth unapologetically and begin to DO YOU again..I have to sincerely thank my beloved husband for the unlimited encouragement and support believing in me when I couldn't...you eran, are one very special man to love unconditionally a woman of my kind..this yellow brick road couldnt have come at a more appropriate time, as I am emotionally drained from all the social media negativity, wanting and needing to step away from it along with our currant state of affairs.. I really need to get back in tune with my spirit and nourish my soul in a way that will allow me to use its wisdom and in return be able to help aid in the healing of this world one single soul at a time..peace love faith hope
