Our Home is Our sacred place...I do all I can to keep our home our refuge.
Living in a new city, balancing a career, and being a #SMOM, can be so overwhelming it is almost surreal. I am pretty sure it is hectic based off the sheer attention required for each and every aspect of my life, but I am not 100% sure because it does not feel like chaos to me...
I can only attribute that to a peaceful home. Home should never be hectic. Home should be your place of peace for you to recharge.
When we think of our daily recharge, we think of sleeping, eating, and relaxing. What about the spiritual recharge...the recharge of energy. How can one keep your spirits high and energy up, positive and productive while being pulled in so many different directions.
I present to you...CRYSTALS.
This isn't like Jack and the Beanstalk...I don't proclaim crystals to have magic powers...but they do have something...
Humans before us believed in these crystals...and it may just be that transcending human connection that gives crystals their certain something.
When choosing crystals to put in your home, the crystal has to feel right to you.
These are the ones that called me. I even let my Mini-me pick out Crystals for her room.
Peacock Ore
Happiness and joy for life, optimistic feeling of gratitude. Balance and flow of chakras.
Peacock Ore is a stone of happiness and joy, it is said to turn you in positive directions, and help channel happiness to others; generally a stone of upliftment.
The most lovely gift of this stone is that it brings you the ability to see and appreciate the joy available in every moment, as well as a feeling of acceptance that all is exactly as it should be, exactly as it is…whats not to love!
It is said to encourage an understanding that there is nothing wrong in any aspect of your life, but it is all down to your perception of it, everything is for purposeful good.

Labradorite
Magic acceleration, self discovery and intuition, activates adventure.
This is one of the crystals Sloane picked out and it could not be more perfect for her.
I mean...what's a home without Rose Quartz
Used for opening your heart to give and receive love, self-love/care, and de-stressing.
The rose quartz stone meaning is one of unconditional love. The way it facilitates love entering your life is through it’s ability to bring your consciousness to a higher level.
Helping you to forgive, understand and see fights or situations from a different perspective, rose quartz healing properties will imbue you with the wisdom to deepen your connection with your partner.
In that same way, rose quartz properties provide gentle energy that assists you in recognizing your own need for compassion. It allows you to see that you deserve forgiveness and understanding from yourself. Associated with the element of water, rose quartz healing properties are naturally fluid. They wash out toxic energies and emotions that you have trapped inside of you.

I mean...can we just rename this the How to Get through a Divorce without Holding a Grudge or Becoming Damaged Goods Crystal because everything rose quartz embodies is what it takes to survive divorce and go forth with a co-parenting relationship lol #imjustsayin
The Sage of Innocence
This is not a crystal, but by golly is it key.
For years, I have been interested in the practice of sage burning aka #smudging. I knew that it was something I HAD to do when I moved to my new place. Given all that I had gone through, I think clearing of bad energy was necessary;-)
I first smudged my home at the beginning of the year...pretty obvious why. One of the other times I smudged my home was when I was feeling a little off. I noticed I was having a lot of petty arguments, had very little patience, AND we both had battled illnesses. We desperately needed a little #smudging!

Again...this is not the milennial version of Jack and the Beanstalk...I do not proclaim magic...but these items have allowed me to proclaim peace in my home.
