The Birth of a Story

mushroomThere’s a place where stories are born. A place so magical, so amazing… a place truly like no other you have ever seen. This place is filled with every emotion: fear and love, sorrow and pain, joy and wonder, ecstasy and fright.

Painted with every color, every shade, every hue. A place where magic waits to be born.

You’ll find yourself falling in love by a babbling brook, writhing in pain from a loss so great you can hardly breathe. You’ll find adventure on a mountain side, joy inside of a fairy ring and experience great fear in a darkened cave. There are no limits, no boundaries within this place. What you dare to dream can come to life right before your eyes. Creatures of all shapes and sizes, from every corner of the world.. from every walk of life.

Each experience, like no other. Each moment more magical than the one before. A place where the angels sing upon a soft whisper into the winds from ancient times, where devils dance within the flames of unrequited love, where the rain kisses your soul with every drop from the heavens above. Dreams, magic, adventure… they all wait for you there in the place where stories are born.

Dare to step inside this place… experience it for yourself and journey where ever your imagination takes you.

Crystal Digging

Well this weekend a few of us made our yearly trip to Sweet Surrender Crystal Mine in Story, Arkansas just outside Hot Springs, Arkansas … as usual it was fantastic. There is just something magical about putting your hands into the Earth and pulling out a treasure.  The weather was cold and rainy but the treasure hunting was cleansing. I know you are thinking … how can digging around in the dirt and mud be cleansing … lol.. I’m not sure this is something you can understand by reading… it’s something you will have to experience for yourself.

The weather this year wasn’t so nice to us… but every year we learn something new about digging for crystals.

Year 1 – we learned to go before it gets too hot! and wear lots of sunscreen and there is really only one tool you truly need.
Year 2 – we learned go after it warms up hahahaha … and again there is only one tool you truly need!

We shall see what next years lesson will be.

I love Becky and Randy, the owners of Sweet Surrender.. they are fabulous!

Sweet Surrender is such a peacful place … I just wish this year the weather had been nicer to us. It was cold, windy and raining this year, but that didn’t keep us from digging.

I didn’t find as much as last year but that was partly due to the weather as well. I did however, find some really nice crystals this year and can’t wait to start cleaning them up.

Below are a few pics of what I found digging around in the dirt for a day!

Writing the story of your life…

Writing the story of your life…

If you were to write the story of your life .. what kind of book would it be?

Would it be full of happiness? Sorrow? Adventure? Romance? Mystical Experiences? Mayhem and Chaos? Hardship? Mystery? Miracles?

What would you highlight?

Where would it begin and what sort of ending would you hope for?

Would it have been a life of learning or teaching or a bit of both?

Would it be a life filled with happiness .. interrupted by moments of something other?

Would be a life time of hardship and sorrows with brief moments of happiness scattered about?

Would you highlight the best moments of your life or the worst?

Which chapters would you leave out and which ones would you speak about most?

Who would the heroes be?

Who would the villains be and who won the battles?

Were there any wars fought? How many did you win and how many were lost?

Was it even about winning or losing?

Was it a life lived or a life that passed you by?

What would the story of your life tell us?

Just a bit of something to think about …. 🙂

Imagine that we are like books … most know us only by our cover … some know us a bit deeper and have read our inner flap … even fewer know our whole story.

Just as with a book.. you can’t get a full understanding of its contents just by it’s cover .. you gain a bit more knowledge once you read the inner flap of that book…but that will only be a short summary … certainly not the whole story…. to understand fully its contents you must read through the whole thing from beginning to end.

We all have many chapters within us …. some we have finished, some we have not yet finished, some we cut short, some we still have ahead of us to write.
