The Power Of Stones

Lately I have been feeling stressed about my divorce and my ex's actions, and how those actions may effect my efforts to retun to school. Tonight I walked by a store I have walked by a thousand times before. But for some reason tonight I noticed a gumball type machine, only instead of gumballs it was filled with stones. Something in my head said you need to buy one. So I fished out a dollar and turned the knob to get my stone. When I opened the door to the slot there sat a green aventurine, amazonite, and rock crystal. What interested me is how fitting the meaning of the stones and how they related to me.

Green aventurine is considered a healing stone to soothe a troubled heart or calm distraught emotions.

Green aventurine quartz is said to relieve anxiety and calm ones emotions, to bring opportunity, to give good luck in gambling, and to enhance ones creativity and leadership qualities.

Green aventurine quartz is also said to have been used successfully in psychotherapy, treating disorders of the lungs and heart, and to help increase muscle flexibility.




Amazonite is believed to be useful for finding personal truth, luck, prosperity, creativity, growth, soothing energy, and receiving energy for better stamina.

Its soothing energy aids in confidence and in opening the Throat Chakra. Moreover, this calming stone is believed to balance masculine and feminine energies.

Amazonite is known as the "Hope Stone", believed to offer luck for your hopes and dreams.

Rock crystal is said to stimulate mental clarity, emotional stability and to facilitate and focus meditative states. It is also said to stimulate positive thoughts and feelings, and to amplify psychic abilities. Rock crystal is said to help remove toxins from the body and to help treat disorders of the digestive system, kidneys and bladder. It also is said to be helpfull in treating a number of other ailments including pituitary gland disorders and skin, circulatory system and respiratory system disorders. Rock crystal is also said to help considerably in providing relief from pain, and to help in recovering from radiation exposure, and to strengthen the immune system.

I feel strength in these stones.

Just Keep Swimming

OK I feel OK about posting a bit about what has went on in my life. Recently after some online harassment/stalking from my exes girlfriend I was forced to go to the police, so they could ask her to stop. As far as I know they did and it has stopped. However this has left me fearful of what length's this woman will go to. When I go to school or work will it extend there? Since I have no idea of how far both of their stalking extends I no longer feel safe posting the most intimate details of my life at the very least until my divorce is processed, but I hate to be completely silent.

Life otherwise has been wonderful for me. I have chosen a career path and will go back to school after my youngest is a year old. My goal is to have a career that will allow me to comfortably support myself and my boys without "needing" support from their Father. I feel like I really have made a good impression thus far even going far as when I called to book a test the instructor remembered me and had been hoping I would be calling. That felt pretty good. The information session I attended was not a small group and they do several a month.

I have also been seeing someone. Without embarrassing him to much by disclosing to much I can say our blooming relationship has been fantastic and wonderful. He is kind, funny, good with my boys, smart, and so respectful of me... I can honestly say I am in love with this person. To be in love scares me a bit because I worry that my judgement's are skewed by my past relationship but I am trying really hard not to let those feelings overshadow my new relationship. I really feel like right now I am at the place in my life where I am supposed to be with the the person I am supposed to be with. With him I feel content and at peace, I don't have to be anyone but myself. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be...

I am really looking forward to the day I can say my divorce is final and perhaps I can start sharing a bit more about my life on the blog. I hope all my blog friends are doing well. I promise even if I am scarce here now I do still religiously read your blogs. Until next time....

I Thought I Was Being Over-Cautious....

While I still will post photo's and other generic things. For the time being I will cease sharing about my personal life. I sometimes thought I was being over-paranoid in regards to my abuser and my online safety. Something happened to tell me that my suspicions were justified. If you know me from a parenting forum and are wondering why I am not posting this is why. I do still accept emails and messages etc. I hope you all stick around until my divorce is final and I can perhaps return to some normalcy.
