A Miracle For The New Year- A Short Story of Inspiration

Today our family went for an especially long hike in Topanga Canyon. This day will go down in the history of my life as one of the most serendipitous, wonderously momentous events...EVER!!! But I will try to keep it reasonably short...

I was just saying, as we approached in our car, that I felt like the energy of Isis was rising within me. I didn't particularly know what that meant, but it needed no further explanation. We set off on the path, dappled with moss and purple sage, clay crumbling and mud squishing beneath our feet. I began to massage the muscles over the left side of my chest...I felt within me a distant aching, and I realized instantaneously what it meant. I have been an avid sportswoman all my life, and when running or swimming or diving occasionally I would get nasty cramps in that same place. On this day I said out loud, "I think sometimes I get an ache here because this is where I store my fears. Fears that I need to let go of. And I think I am ready to do that- I am ready to open up my heart to whatever is coming." We talked about how we felt like on this day, so auspicious being a full blue moon and a solar eclipse, it was possible to manifest everything our heart's desired in 2010. Whatever seemed out of reach before this moment came leaping suddenly out of shadowed obscurity into the land of sun-lit possibility. We could dream of world peace and sustainable energy and sanity...oh yes real sanity coming through onto this formerly crazy planet...and see it coming true. I mentioned that I would also love to start another jewelry company with my good friend Kelly, and how amazing that could be when all of a sudden...

No more than 100 feet from that spot, still massaging my tender fears away, I stopped abruptly on the path and looked down at my feet. There, hidden underneath the daintiest of green clovers lay a rose quartz crystal the size of a quarter, cut into the shape of a heart! I felt like I might burst with the sheer joy of serendipity. It was as if the universe had shouted back at a million decibels a great yes-saying, as Nietzsche would say. I smirk as I write this, because I promised myself just yesterday that I wouldn't quote, or think about, or write anything about Nietzsche at least until this winter break ends....so much for that!

So there you have it. If you've ever wondered whether dreams come true, a huge affirmation has come to humanity. Our family has traveled the world, very intentionally leaving dozens of crystals buried and hidden in trees and the earth, or left open and exposed for some lucky soul to find. One day, we figured, after years of giving back crystal energy to the Earth Mother, we would be given one back. It couldn't have come at a better time. I have seen and heard so many people express how hard 2009 has been for them, and I think an omen of positivity is needed. Let us all open our hearts to bringing forth those dreams that have been deferred.

On December 21st, the winter solstice, our good friend and wizard Axel Miguez climbed to the top of a Mexican pyramid with a crystal we gave him to offer a blessing to the world. And now, the world responds...someone out there left that heart shaped crystal on that same path knowing consciously or not that we would find it. So in this new year, I wish that everyone out there might find their hearts, in whatever form that may take. Dreams are becoming reality my friends. So dream big...dream infinite.

So much love!!!! Namaste!!!
