The Pulse

The people we meet at the gem show. That's where the gold is at. We sat next to a couple in their 80's at lunch yesterday and they shared tales of immigrating from the Ukraine and France during wartime when they were young. How they found one another in a "misplaced persons camp"--which made my heart cry just thinking of the words "misplaced person..." How can those words exist together in the same grouping when they breathe such opposite forms of life. The husband searches for lithium underground all over the world. The wife is a singer. They we wearing turquoise and malachite and carnelian. Their words carried minerals that make the stones come to life.

I write to you from a tender, deeply healing part of my heart. I send this love note from the valley of Tucson, surrounded on all four sides by sturdy mountains. The place I went to undergraduate school where my heart cracked open so many times so that it could let more love in. The city that holds mountains of my hard tears and so many joys and growth-spurt-markers. A town that my Chiron Line (the Wounded Healer) runs straight through, literally cutting the city in half from the perceptive of the stars based on the astro-cartography reading my friend Ali gifted me.

The Super New Moon in Aquarius is a big one and within one day of the new moon, ALL of our major planets will be direct. Forward momentum feels like the truth and to me, it actually finally feels like the New Year is really finally here. I was reading earlier in the week about water holding memories and that grabbed me---which led me to read about seawater and how the salt in the water carries an electrical charge, just like the crystals do.

A sweet and simple shout out to say thank you so incredibly much for making our year so expansive. As your desire to know the crystals and stones better grows, our reservoir of creation expands. This year, like most of the years before that, has come with some serious ups and downs and everything in between. It has been an honor to ride the waves with you.

Root Chakra Connection, Womb Work, Pelvic Floor and Core Strengthening, Nervous System Calibration, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Re-parenting the self from your adult knowing and capacity....just to name a handful of the energetics that have been coming into my sphere over the last few months (some of them for re-re-re-visiting. Umpteenth visit.)

On this Full Moon in GEMini day, I feel inspired to write to you. Gemini is a sign of the zodiac (along with Virgo) that is ruled by the planet Mercury, aka the "Messenger." Messages and Magic abound.

A couple of weeks ago I had an anxiety attack at a dinner party. I could feel the rumblings beginning when I walked in the door. I felt age-old shames swimming up in my body from the root.

Twelve years ago, POUND Jewelry came into our consciousness as a seedling. A spark. An idea. An initiation. POUND has her own voice, her own knowing, her own rhythm. She makes it known to us. And we do our best to listen.
