Where I’ve Been and Where This is Going

Where I’ve Been and Where This is Going

By | | Comments 0 Comment

6 years ago I went through the worst experience as a human in my entire life. The fact is, it wasn’t one experience, it was a convergence of experiences. I was nearing 50 and in my perspective, every part of my world melted away into a dust so fine that I could hardly make out the origins of my own being much less what was going on around me. This was an almost fateful blow to my very being.

And, when that happened, Chakra Rox took a pause for awhile. But I will tell you, I’m not sure how I could have gotten through that experience and the giant explosion of my life that was its precursor, without the having this business and having the honor of listening and sharing so many stories with my customers and followers. You each are my angels, giving me the right message through allowing me to help you find yours.

After those 6  years and a lot of help from a lot of sources (probably many unknowingly), I have found my way back to the joyous, excited, youthful and magical being I remember, in fact… maybe even a little extra! I’ve got sooooo much to tell!

And with that, we’re going to mix it up with this Chakra Rox blog from here on out. I want to be more than a smiling icon on a web page, but a real person going through real things who also is trying to make it in this big bad world just like you!  And, oh yeah… I LOVE crystals. I look forward to growing and learning with you as we make a new connection. I truly believe my crystals, my reiki and so many other healing modalities have helped me along this journey. And, again, YOU, were a huge part in that too. So much gratitude! Can’t wait to step forward into a little more clarity with each of you.

And yes, I will still be posting info on new products and cool actities as well as recommendations if you are interested. Look forward to it everyone!

Whether displayed as an accent piece or incorporated into a piece of home decor, crystals have gained popularity over the years for their unique shapes and colors to elevate a home’s interior.

Want to know how to display crystals in your home? Redfin reached out to us and other experts from Toronto, ON, to New York, NY, for our help on using crystals for the home. Keep reading for a room-by-room guide, learn more about different types of crystals, how they can be incorporated into your decor, and more. See the full article at the link below.

The Search For Our Next Adventure / Home – Intro

The Search For Our Next Adventure / Home – Intro

By | | Comments 0 Comment

For those of you that don’t know, the husband and I are preparing for our next phase in life. Our kids are 21 and 18 with my daughter graduating from high school this May. Prior to that, we took care of my mother for nearly 10 years while she battled Alzheimer’s. She lost that battle just 2 years ago in February. So, it’s time for something new for both of us. And, we are blessed with the ability to work from most anywhere (we DO require decent Internet and shipping services).

This is such a spectacular time. Who just sits around and really thinks about what they want? When’s the last time you’ve done that? We started out just looking at the average weather of areas, then looking at houses on Zillow and Realtor that had beautiful views, and then started really thinking about the specifics. Can we live without trees? Do we like adobes? Do we want to live in the valley and look at the mountains or do we want to be in the mountains? It has been a true adventure into ourselves.

Our plan is to find something that gives us joy, but also provides joy to others. Who doesn’t want to share the love? I was a superhost with AirBnb with our little place in Arlington, TX. So, we want something with a main house and at least one guesthouse for short term rental to start and/or more and/or RV hookups. Ultimately, I’d like to grow this into a Chakra themed retreat to work in tandem with my crystal business – Chakra Rox. So, more acreage is preferable. We love hiking and kayaking so we want to be close to nature. We’ve actually found several options that are backed up to a national forest. Those would obviously be preferable. So, with all that in mind, we’ve narrowed our search to New Mexico and Colorado.

So, here’a a list of wants:

For the Area

  • Beautiful Views
  • Pleasant Year-Round Weather
  • Good Internet
  • Good Shipping Services
  • Funky Vibe – I’m a Reiki Master that sells crystals for a living!
  • Cute Downtown would be a plus
  • Something that will bring potential customers to the area
  • Hiking
  • Kayaking
  • Nice People
  • Local Brewery
  • Not too far to the grocery store
  • Low crime

For the House (I’ll be honest – area trumps house – as they say, you can change the house, but you can’t change the view)

  • Jacuzzi or hot tub
  • Deck or Patio with Views! – the more the better!
  • At least a 2-car garage, preferably attached
  • 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths
  • New appliances
  • Nice kitchen
  • Nice landscaping (something that conveys retreat)
  • Updated everything
  • Trees
  • Guesthouse (the more the merrier)
  • Studio/Warehouse
  • Prefer not to see neighboring homes. Privacy.
  • Preferably larger deck/patio area for dancing under the stars
  • No more than 20 minutes out from a grocery store or restaurant
