There is a moment each December when the world softens and the year begins to exhale. As we step toward 2026, the stars open a powerful new chapter — one shaped by rare transits, spiritual awakening, and creative expansion. In this poetic month-by-month guide, I share what the cosmos is offering us next year, the energies moving beneath each season, and the gemstone pairings to help you walk into 2026 with intention, ceremony, and an open heart.

2025 was a threshold year — a year of awakening, becoming, and remembering why I create. New offerings were born, my ceremonial voice came alive, and The Art of Ceremony stepped into its next expression through jewelry, earth offerings, and the beginning of our Experience Pillar. This is my love letter to a year that changed me.

A love letter to the stones that shaped my childhood and continue to guide my life — a journey into memory, meaning, grounding rituals, and the quiet magic inside every crystal. From lunchbox treasures to the powerful stones I work with today, this is my story of how the earth keeps calling us home.

There is a moment every December when the year exhales and the body whispers, “Slow down.” This gentle ceremony is a soft doorway back to yourself — through breath, stillness, and the simple medicine of letting go. A ritual for releasing what you’ve carried and entering the new year with clarity and grace.

The Origin Stone™ was born from a quiet morning in the studio and an ancient remembering: that adornment has always been a form of belonging. These raw crystal necklaces carry simple energy, deep lineage, and the grounding presence of the earth itself. Each piece is a small ceremony worn close to the heart.

Yesterday, something shifted inside me. Our first live ceremony — opening Canyon Ranch’s Awaken Festival — became a moment where everything I’ve been creating finally breathed on its own. In a sunlit room framed by two walls of windows and guarded by towering amethyst geodes, sound, breath, and intention came alive. Kevin’s blessing, Jared’s soundscape, and my voice found each other in perfect rhythm. And in the slowing down, in the spaciousness, something opened — in me, and in the room.

For years, I believed hard work alone could shape my world. But recently, I’ve been learning the sacred art of allowing—loosening my grip on life just enough for magic to find its way in.

A sacred offering for the ones who love us without words. The PawStones™ bring ceremony and healing energy to our most faithful companions.

I’ve carried Black Tourmaline in my pocket for years — a quiet companion that keeps me grounded and clear. In this post, I share how this powerful stone helps protect your energy, create boundaries, and remind you to move through the world with peace and purpose.

As the leaves turn and the air cools, your crystals call for a reset. This deeply personal autumn guide offers rituals, stories, and methods to cleanse and recharge your gemstones—and yourself.

Mahjong has traveled across cultures and generations — from Asia to Jewish communities, Harlem jazz clubs, and modern homes. For me, it’s now a family ritual taught by my mom and sister. In this post, I share Mahjong’s symbolism, its surprising comeback, and how play itself can be a sacred form of ceremony.

I learned the practice of gratitude when I first met Kevin — and I still carry it into nearly every meditation today. In this Journal, I share the science of gratitude and guide you through a simple five-step evening ritual you can practice daily to anchor your heart in presence, healing, and joy.

In the mornings, Kevin walks barefoot across dew-soft grass. I talk with my mesquite trees beneath their wide canopy. These small rituals remind us daily that nature is sacred — grounding us, calming us, and inviting us back to ourselves.

Decluttering isn’t just about tidiness — it’s a sacred act of release. When we clear space with intention, light a candle, or burn sage, we let go of old energy and welcome in calm, clarity, and peace. In this week’s Journal, I share a gentle ritual for decluttering with crystals and ceremony, so your home can feel lighter and your heart freer.

Creativity is more than making something beautiful — it’s a way back to yourself. In this week’s Journal, I share three simple rituals — intuitive drawing, watercolor journaling, and collage — that transform everyday art into sacred ceremony. These gentle practices don’t require talent or hours of time. They only ask for presence, breath, and a willingness to let your hands lead you toward healing.

There is a quiet longing in many of us to live more intentionally — to bring beauty and reverence into the everyday. Ceremony isn’t reserved for temples or retreats; it belongs in each breath, each pause, each transition. In this Journal entry, I share simple daily rituals — from releasing the day before sleep, to setting intention before work, to pausing before conversation — that transform ordinary moments into sacred ones. With crystals as gentle companions and presence as our guide, life itself becomes ceremony.

Excerpt:
The Earth Pillar is the heart of our work with crystals — a collection of offerings that carry presence into daily life. From tiny Pocket Rocks™ you can hold in your hand, to monumental Specimens that transform a room, each stone is chosen with intention. Whether through live crystal shopping, where Kevin intuitively hand-selects pieces, or the Motoring Stone™ created for journeys on the road, these treasures invite us to ground, connect, and remember that the sacred belongs in the everyday.

Anxiety can show up in many ways — sometimes a gentle hum, sometimes a restless tide. In those moments, I find comfort in turning to the earth. Gemstones are more than adornment to me — they’re anchors, reminders to pause, breathe, and come back to myself.

In this week’s journal, I share the five crystals I reach for most often when I need calm: Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, Rainbow Moonstone, Smoky Quartz, and Citrine. Each one carries its own medicine — from Amethyst’s soothing presence to Black Tourmaline’s protective shield. I’ll show you how to use them in daily rituals, and you’ll also find ways to bring them into your own life through pocket rocks, Motoring Stones, and jewelry from our Earth pillar.

You’re invited to explore these stones not as cures, but as companions — touchstones to guide you back to your own breath, your own light, your own calm.

Citrine is the stone of sunlight and self-trust. Explore its meaning, history, and rituals to invite joy, abundance, and radiant confidence into your life.

Born from years of flying anxiety, Safe Travels™ is a grounding ritual I created to help you feel centered before a trip. With a guided meditation, black tourmaline crystal, and presence practice, this pocket-sized ceremony is a calm companion for air, road, or wherever you’re headed.
