Sometimes, the structures we build in our lives, like our habits, beliefs, and relationships, can only take us so far. Then they collapse, and it feels like the end of everything, but what if it isn’t?

What if sometimes things have to fall apart?

What if a collapse is needed to make space? What if it’s making space for something better? When things fall apart, we’re forced out of our comfort zone. When things fall apart, it hurts, it’s scary, but it also opens doors to ideas and opportunities we might never have considered possible. Think of it as preparation. Sometimes pieces of our lives need to shatter so we can see what’s worth keeping and what we’re finally ready to leave behind.

Good morning, and welcome to the Weekly Lenormand reading for Sept. 29th to Oct. 4th using the Omnito Lenormand. This week, our guidance comes from two cards: Tree and Ring.

The Tree card represents health, growth, and long-term stability. It reminds us to nurture ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Ring card symbolizes commitments, cycles, and lasting connections. It highlights relationships, partnerships, or agreements that require consistency and follow-through to achieve success.

When these cards are combined, they suggest the week ahead may require a commitment to personal growth or well-being. Whether it’s maintaining healthy routines, strengthening relationships, or keeping promises, your consistency will bring lasting results. Focus on long-term stability; invest in yourself and your commitments, and there will be growth and fulfillment over time.

Good morning, it’s Thursday, and time to discuss another fascinating find: Hyalite, a high-vibrational volcanic stone of intuition. A variety of common opal, it’s sometimes sold as Water Opal or Müller’s Glass. Formally named in the 1790s by A.G. Werner, it was recognized as not having a crystal structure, and therefore not quartz.

The pictured sample is from Namibia, though Hyalite is also found in Germany, Mexico, and Hungary. It occurs in clear, green, yellow, and gray, usually translucent, and can fluoresce. As a type of common opal, it doesn’t shimmer like precious opals. With a Mohs scale of 5.5–6, it resonates with the third eye and crown chakras.

Qualities Hyalite offers those who work with it include:

A wonderful tool for meditation.
Assists with dream work and lucid dreaming.
Brings clarity and insight, encouraging freedom from outdated beliefs.
Clears stagnant energy.
Strengthens intuition.

I love the energy of this mineral whenever I touch Hyalite, I feel a rush of energy flow through me. If its qualities call to you, I encourage you to find a piece and work with it.

Betrayal isn’t loud. It’s quiet. It’s the friend who only shows up when it benefits them, the partner who doesn’t honor your trust, the people who smile to your face but don’t stand beside you when it counts. That kind of betrayal doesn’t always require words to be exchanged. It calls for something else, stepping away.

What if betrayal didn’t require confrontation?

Walking away from people who don’t love or support you is a recognition that love doesn’t leave wounds, loyalty doesn’t disappear when tested, and support doesn’t come with conditions.

When you stop chasing explanations from people who’ve betrayed you, you regain your dignity and the understanding that your worth doesn’t depend on those who didn’t truly care for you.

In time, the betrayer’s actions will be discovered and reveal more than their excuses ever could. And when you walk away, you allow that truth to stand on its own while you move on.

What if betrayal wasn’t something to fight, but a signpost? What if it’s a reminder that not everyone deserves access to your heart, your love, and your trust? What if sometimes the best response is not a confrontation, but a goodbye?

What if betrayal doesn’t require confrontation? What if…

Good morning! Welcome to the Weekly Lenormand for Sept. 21st to 27th using Kalat Cards. This week’s guidance comes from two cards: Telephone and Crossroads.

The Telephone card reminds us that communication is key. Important conversations, messages, or discussions, whether personal, professional, or even a job interview, can have a significant influence this week.

The Crossroads card indicates a decision or choice needing to be made. It encourages us to carefully consider our options, as the path we choose will shape the future.

Together, these cards suggest that a meaningful conversation may bring clarity, guide a choice, or open a new opportunity. Pay attention, stay open, and trust that the information you receive will help you navigate what is coming next. Listen carefully, weigh your options, and trust the path that resonates with your intuition.

Good morning, it’s Crystal Thursday, and we’re talking about a Tourmaline. In the past, I have examined black and watermelon tourmaline. This week, the focus is on Green Tourmaline.

I came across two first find stories. One being a Spanish Conquistador discovered it in Brazil in the 1500’s and mistook it for an Emerald. I am not entirely sure whether or not it’s true, but I'm leaning toward not. The second was that the Dutch East India Company found Green Tourmaline and brought it to Europe in the 17th century. Sometime in the 1800’s, it was discovered not to be an emerald at all, but its own separate mineral.

The samples pictured above are from Pakistan. Other locations where Green Tourmaline can be found are Brazil, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and the US. The Mohs scale of this Tourmaline is 7 to 7.5 and has chakra associations of Solar Plexus and Heart. The color of Green Tourmaline ranges from light to deep green, depending on the amount of magnesium available, and can be either transparent or translucent.

Green Tourmaline can be found as a secondary mineral in granite and quartz deposits. Another fascinating thing is that the chemical structure makes it pyroelectric. Which means under the right conditions, it can generate an electric charge. This ability makes it useful in industrial applications.

Moving on to the spiritual and metaphysical qualities Green Tourmaline has to offer those who work with it are:
• Green Tourmaline protects, opens, and clears the Solar Plexus.
• It works to release trauma from our current and past lives.
• Working with the Heart chakra assists in the growth of love, compassion, and peace in your life.
• Known as a stone of creativity, Green Tourmaline works with the Solar Plexus to intensify creativity, along with the courage and strength to go for it.
• It is believed to attract luck and success.
I hope you found this brief discussion of Green Tourmaline interesting; I encourage you to purchase a piece and work with it. Doing so can enrich your life in many ways.

Good morning, welcome to the Weekly Lenormand for Sept. 14th to 20th using Old Style Lenormand. Remember, the guidance offered is for the collective. I invite you to consider the guidance that resonates with your life situations and leave the rest.

This week, we had two cards, Anchor and Man, come forward, indicating a focus on building or rebuilding stability. The card Anchor is about stability, security, and the feeling of peace that comes after the worry and stress of a difficult period being resolved.

Man is a card representative of an important male or male energy in your life. Someone you can rely on and who has a long-term commitment to your life. For men, it can mean them. This gentleman is someone who can help provide leadership, guidance, courage, and support to act decisively.

Have a wonderful week
Blessed Be ~ Sharon

What a lovely Crystal Thursday morning this is! Today, I am discussing the mineral Kunzite. I had to double-check to see whether I’d posted about it already. After eleven years and hundreds of posts, I sometimes lose track.

George Fredrick Kunz is credited with the first find in 1902, but I am not certain if this is accurate. In one source, I read that a new mineral, Kunzite, was discovered in the White Queen Mine located in California and sent to Mr. Kunz for identification. Kunz was a noted mineralogist and gemologist who worked for Tiffany.

Kunzite is a type of Spodumene, which belongs to the lithium aluminum silicate group. It’s actually an important source of lithium for industrial use. Kunzite has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, making it suitable for creating beautiful jewelry. Chakra associations are with the heart and crown, presenting opportunities for healing. Its color ranges from pinks to lavenders and can be transparent or translucent. Care should be taken because Kunzite will fade if exposed to the sun for too long. The piece pictured above was mined in Nigeria, but Kunzite can also be found in countries such as Brazil, Canada, Afghanistan, and the US.

Moving on to a few of the spiritual and metaphysical qualities Kunzite has to offer:
Heart Chakra:
• Kunzite is known as a stone of divine love and compassion. When working with it, its energy promotes self-love and acceptance.
• It will help release emotional blockages.
• Working with Kunzite will foster empathy and forgiveness for yourself and others.
Crown Chakra:
• Meditating with this beauty can help you work with spirit guides.
• Kunzite can broaden your perspective to new ways of viewing obstacles and challenges.

I hope you found this brief discussion about Basalt interesting; I encourage you to find a piece and work with it. Doing so can enrich your life in many ways.

It’s easy to look at confident people and think they’re lucky. But what if it’s not something you stumble into by being in the right place at the right time? What if it’s something you build intentionally?

What if confidence isn’t luck, but a habit you build?

Confidence grows in baby steps. When you speak up even though you’re not sure anyone wants to hear what you have to say. When you keep trying because it’s important to you. It’s showing up for yourself when hiding your light would be easier. Every time you choose to take a step though doubt and worry try to block you, a brick in the foundation of confidence is locked in.

If you view it as a habit to be built, like eating well and exercising to stay healthy it stops being about waiting for the right time, place or about knowing the right people. Instead, you realize it’s about being consistent. About a drive to prove to yourself that you can do it.

Just like building any habit, growing confidence into your life will be uncomfortable and awkward at first. You might even consider giving up. But if you stay focused, the time and effort becomes a part of who you are. Transforming a series of shaky choices into habit and then to confidence. What if confidence isn’t luck, it’s a habit you build? What if…
