Crystal of the Day

Today ended up being two crystals: Blue Kyanite and a light blue Calcite. They are basically the only two rough cut stones in my entire bowl, everything else is tumbled stones, except for the 4 agate slices in there. These two basically stuck together when grabbing for a crystal this morning.

I love using both of these stones. They both seem to have a calming effect on me. The calcite has always helped me retain information better when I need to learn it the best, which reminds me, I need to start carrying my calcite with me during the day every day, but especially when I am doing my studying.

As for what the kyanite does for me, it's one of those that is hard to put into words. But it is also a stone that I really know when I need to be carrying it with me. And today was one of those days. I just need it on me. I love how crystals seem to have a mind of their own too and they know when you need them before you do.

Crystals had become my best friend a long time ago, then my life got turned upside down and they got pushed to the side. I still had them, just not out everyday, and definitely not even using them at all. Then a few weeks ago, I had a calling to start using them again regularly. I made myself a medicine pouch that I carry with me all day long on my person, that includes some stones that I know I need just for that day or that I need to carry long term. Some of these stones will be in the bag for quite a while. I'll just know when I'm done with them and they can go back into my collection of stones. But I am so happy that I finally got back into the crystals again. It has given me a perspective on life that I thought I had lost when my life got turned upside down several months ago.

The Choice is YOURS

You have a choice each and every morning, so what are you going to do today? I always choose to chase my dreams. If you don't get up and chase them, they can't come true!

By chasing your dreams, you make every single day you spend here on this earth the next greatest day of your life. Keep living your life to the fullest and chasing those dreams. Never let your dreams die or for someone to tell you that you can't achieve something. All it takes is putting your mind to something and you will achieve it. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. It will be worth all the blood, sweat, tears and time it takes to accomplish those dreams! Just NEVER, EVER give up!

Live your life to the fullest potential and just enjoy everything you have. Material things do not make our lives special. They may help us live a better life, but the material things don't make the world go round. It's the simple, immaterial things, like love, happiness, and joy that make the world go round. Live the life you want to live. Don't live by anyone else's standards, but your own. They aren't living your life, they don't have to deal with the choices you make on a regular basis. Make your choices for you and live the best life you can live. Show the world your happiness, joy and love and just enjoy your life!

Saying Thank You!

What do you do upon waking up every morning? Do you have a ritual? Or do you just complain how tired and achy you are and you don't want do go through another day?

Start today and start a new ritual. When you wake up in the morning, lay there for a few extra minutes, but in those minutes, say "Thank you!" Add in a small prayer that the day will go well. Get yourself in a happy place. The best way to start your day is in happiness. If you start your day off in a good mood, then the day will go much smoother, than if you started it out complaining. Do this and notice the differences!

You are saying thank you for a new day. For all the blessings you have in your life. For all of the blessings yet to come to you. Make it a habit to say thank you to the universe first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Maybe even say it a few times during the day. You've started your vision board, those blessings are coming to you, say thank you for them every day before you get them!

I've been doing this for a few weeks now and I have a much more noticeable difference in my happiness of my day. Things go smoother, I'm happier during the whole day, not just during snippets of the day.

If you do this, I want to hear about it. Message me, comment on my blog. I'll respond! Follow me on Pinterest
