How I came to love stones........

I was introduced to stones when I was around eight years old. My Dad found them in a black velvet sack at the recycling plant he worked at. When he gave them to me there was about eight pieces the sack was the size of a little baggy you would use to carry marbles in. One of the pieces I really loved was a quartz and a smooth piece of hematite. The others were weird looking creations some seemed to be two pieces infused in one. Others I just didn't know what they were. My sack of stones I never got rid of it. I always had it in my room in the cupboard sometimes Id be pulling them out here and there and show people. I could never understand why I couldn't let go of them. Until now when I finally moved to Fresno my friend introduced me to the Magik. She showed me stones she would use in rituals size would vary from really small to pieces the size of a baseball. I loved it but I really didn't understand the power of the stones until I needed it.Now when I started working for a Call Center I would get really terrified because Customers would be upset yell and curse me out because they had fees on there account and I couldn't do squat about it.I know going to work seemed like a living hell. I couldn't handle the emotional burden that came with my job. I remebered what my friend said stones could be used for the purpose you set to them and thats when my velvet bag of stones came to mind. The stones I chose were hematite and the quartz. My intention set on them was to help me shield myself emotionally. So the first day I had my stones I had a terrible call. My heart was racing and my stones where right by my side on top of my desk. My hand reached for them as the conversation continued with my customers the stones where held tightly in my hand. My thoughts in my head where "Help me please dont let me get scared" and help me they did. These little guys where helping me overcome my fear granted I was still a little nervous but what occurred was absolutely magical. From there my job became easier and taking stones to work was as routine as taking my wallet or cell phone with me. It was odd at first because who carries rocks around with them? Little by little I realized I needed a big stone. My realization was I needed to graduate to a piece that I can hold in my hand and feel powerful. I went to this really amazing store known as The Fox Tail Gallery they have the most amazing pieces of stones anything you can imagine they would have. I walked around listening to my inner self. In my hands I held a sphere rose quartz this was a nice one but it didn't suit what I was looking for. So I then saw a flat piece of Labradorite I loved it I held it. I was confident that I wanted it. As I was about to pay for this piece of Labradorite I saw another one it was bluish green and when you moved it around the colors would shift. This stone was the shape of a jalapeno and it would fit in the palm in my hand and I could grip it perfectly. This was meant to be my friends. Ever since that day at downtown clovis I have had my Labradorite and it never leaves my side. Its always with me its like my wand. With out it Id be crushed but I know one day this stone will accomplish its goal with me and break, But until then I still enjoy my stone its a part of me and really in my own opinion I think its was what triggered me to unlock my psychic abilities.
