Dear cherished readers,

After a rejuvenating time away, I have returned home to Tucson with a heart full of warmth and inspiration. I recently spent a memorable weekend in Durango with my family, soaking in the beauty and serenity of the mountains. During the Solstice weekend, I had the privilege of attending a women's retreat at my twin sister's charming Bed and Breakfast. It was an amazing time of reflection and healing, filled with ceremonies, yoga, song, dance, and nourishing foods.

In the embrace of my sister's retreat, surrounded by like-minded women, I felt a powerful urge to finish the book of stones I have been working on for years. With new-found confidence, I am thrilled to share the first chapter of my book, "Sacred Stones, Radiant Souls: A Guide to Inner Alchemy," with all of you.

Labradorite, with its mesmerizing play of colors, has woven its way into the tapestry of my life. Beyond its stunning beauty, Labradorite holds a special place in my heart due to its profound healing and metaphysical properties. Join me on a personal exploration as we delve into the mystical world of Labradorite, unraveling its origins, physical characteristics, and the transformative effects it has had on my own well-being.
