collecting stones


Last weekend we visited my in-laws house on Lake Michigan. It was Saturday and I was feeling worn out after a long and busy week. I took a walk by myself on the beach and started collecting some of the wet stones that I found just where the waves wash onto the beach. There were brilliant orange stones, transparent white and pink quartz stones, pale green stones, and every so often the illustrious Petoskey stone. Collecting them became almost meditative, I was feeling more grounded and my mind started to clear. I began to focus on all that I was grateful for: the beautiful day, the immense lake, my sweet children, our health, being alive. Before I knew it my pockets were full of stones, my mind was clear, and I had an idea for a business that could spread that feeling of gratitude and cultivate my own creativity. I have been wanting a creative endeavor like this and waiting for this inspiration to strike. I'm so excited to start working towards this idea and hopefully unveil it soon.
