With the Coming Spring...

Early Spring Growth, Hoover Forest Preserve, Yorkville, IL - March 2012



Birds are chirping like crazy, trees are starting to look fuzzy with new growth, and Old Man Winter is in the final showdown for control with Madam Spring.  With the new coming season of growth and renewal, so comes the new growth of my Nurture Spirit.

Store Update

I am so excited for the opportunity of helping you, dear Reader, with incorporating crystals into your life.  Know that with each piece you obtain, they were always intended for you!  Crystals have a way of finding the person who needs them.  Even if you just purchase a particular piece because you are attracted to it, if looking at it brings you joy, then it’s doing a job well done and makes me happy for it!  

It has been a bit of a challenge muddling through the nitty gritty and mundane details, but I was up for it!  It is much more fun creating pieces for you than it is managing the paperwork.  Isn’t that the way of life, however?  There is balance to everything! 

I’ve still got a few things to wrap up before launch, but it looks like I’ll be ready-set-go! for this Wednesday, the First Day of Spring.  We are starting with off with Nurture Spirit Intention Bags, a couple of Crystal Wall Hangings, and a few Tree of Life pendants.  I have so many more ideas in my head that are clamoring to come into existence, however, so keep watch!

SPECIAL NOTE!

Facebook “likers” will get first dibs on new wire-wrapped pieces!  I’ll also be holding fan appreciation contests with free-giveaway pieces after reaching fan milestones.  Make sure to “Like” the Nurture Spirit Facebook Page for the opportunity to purchase handcrafted and one-of-a-kind pieces before they go live in the store, and to keep updated with contests and other specials! 

Energy Healing

I am SO excited to have completed my Reiki 1 attunement on March 10th.  It was such a great experience and I love my Reiki Master Teacher!!  It is so funny how alike we are.  She was definitely meant to be my teacher!

Since the attunement I have been busy practicing Reiki healing on my husband and our pets.  All of whom love every minute of it!  Reiki has a wonderful calming quality about it, and every time I complete a session I love seeing how relaxed the household is. 

The one thing I have to keep reminding myself about is to be a “channel” only.  I have a tendency to be a receiver to energy – it is my overly sensitive nature – and when that happens I tend to get very dizzy during sessions.  That is all part of the practice, however!

Reiki II attunement is set for April 14th!

Nature!!

The recent change to Daylight Savings Time means that I have an hour of sunlight left when I get home from work, which translates to FOREST WALKS!!!! 

Nothing is more relaxing for me than a walk through the forest.  After a long day of sitting in an office, staring at a computer screen and typing away, the earthy, grounding aspect of the forest is just what I need to put me back at rights.  Plus, it gets my high-energy pup out of the house and allows him to burn off energy and get his sniff on.  I have been keeping my eyes open for spring growth to snap pictures and document the season’s change… we were blessed to have an early Spring in 2010, and I’ve been keeping watch ever since for a repeat!

I’ve also been O B S E S S E D with sunsets lately!!  Likely because I’m never up early enough to catch a sunrise on a walk, haha!  But, each nightly walk when there is no cloud cover I continue to try and capture the “perfect shot” of a sunrise.  I’ve gotten some really good ones, but they still don’t compare to the real thing.  Nature is the best artist, creating some of the most beautiful scenes of all.  There are moments where I literally stop, awestruck, mouth gaping…. It is those moments that I am truly grateful and honored to be alive to see them.
