Giving Away Stones and Crystals...was WANTED healling stones, rocks.Turtle

[Guest guest]

Turtle, what a wonderful post. You just reminded me that the boxes,

bowls, teacups, and candle plates full of stones I choose to love and

give in much happiness are tokens of abundance and blessing as well as

wonderful learning and teaching tools. It is great that you take the

time to bother with the kids in the neighborhood and I really commend

your efforts. You have a gift for words, and I am sure that they come

to hear you speak as well because you are very giving with your

thoughts and your care. It's great that these same children have found

opportunities to help others by your example-you should really be

proud. Best wishes to you!! Brenda
