The Power of Crystals – by Brookelin Gottlieb
from a very young age I was exposed to the healing powers of what a crystal could offer. how fascinating it was that by even just holding a crystal in my hand, I felt calmer, grounded and at peace. I mean, think about, crystals come from the earth, so to hold them, to work with […]
An Apple A Day…
An Apple a Day… you know how it goes. I grew up with a grandfather who was a prominent farmer in the Central Valley of California. He grew oranges, stone fruits, grapes and so much more. Actually, he grew everything except apples! I realized I had never picked an apple! So somehow, I talked […]
Warm and Cozy At Home
