Every February, Tucson becomes a living city of stones. This year I’m moving through the gem shows like a pilgrimage—returning to African Village, listening for what’s inevitable, and following the quiet clarity that shaped me from the beginning.

February has a particular feeling—clean air, sharper light, the quiet awareness that you can’t carry everything forward the way you did in January. This is Saturn at the door: not harsh, just honest. A month for cleaner edges, fewer doors, and structure that protects the work and the body—evidence without depletion, chosen quietly.

Arrival isn’t a location—it’s a threshold. Here’s the 5-minute ceremony I use when Kevin and I travel for trunk shows: shift the atmosphere, place one home anchor, offer water to the body, and seal the room with a simple blessing that helps you land.

Last year I met a stone carver whose tourmaline felt like a remembering—small shapes carved slowly, each carrying quiet presence. Little Lights™ were dreamed into being over months, meant to be worn close as luminous companions for everyday life.

Sound has always been more than “background” for me—it’s information, atmosphere, a doorway. In this essay I share my lifelong sensitivity to tone, why certain soundscapes create safety in the nervous system, and a simple 3-minute practice to help sound become a steady sanctuary you can return to.

2026 arrived already in motion. In the last week of December, offerings I built quietly—Harmonic Resonance and Safe Travel kits—suddenly stepped into the world. The Year of the Fire Horse 2026 meaning, for me, is simple: momentum born from alignment, guided by the steady wisdom of Ten.

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.

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.
