As you may know, I am single and I have been for years. Most days I love it. Somedays not so much. Oftentimes, I think that it wouldn't be so bad if I had a supportive group of friends around me, but I don't. I know that is something that I need to work on and I am trying.
I still get so heart-achingly lonely.
Yesterday I launched my latest ebook and started my life coaching practice. At the end of the day I had no one to celebrate with. No one to tell me that they were proud of me. I do know so many of you are, never doubt that I am thankful for all of the online support I have. It is truly invaluable. I know my Tribe is proud of me and loves me.
It still would've been nice to hear it in person. To feel a hug, a pat on the back, something. This left me spending a few hours of the day in a funk. I was watching television and of course there had to be that sweet romantic scene with two people cuddled up tenderly in bed.
It made me cry.
I'm very... we'll go with picky... about relationships. I haven't been in one in many years and I honestly think that is for the best. I've had prospects of course, but no one who calls out to me on a spiritual level and if I do embark on a relationship, that's what I want. I know that I'm still young, (I'm 26) but dating doesn't appeal to me. Anyone that I do see myself developing feelings for, just seems to want the kind of friends-with-benefits relationship that these young'uns are into now a'days, and that doesn't ring true to me.
Although that feeling of loneliness doesn't have the power over me that it used to. It will come, it will stay for a bit, and then it will leave. I will not spend a whole day in bed crying. I will not lay lethargic on the couch listening to sad music. I will accept that yes, I am lonely, and yes, this feeling will go away.
I will realize that I am part of something. Something magical and healing. Something beautiful and strong. I am part of you. I am part of the Universe, of the Great Spirit that binds us all together.
It's hard to feel lonely when you know that you're part of that.
How do you deal with feelings of loneliness? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Jamie Ridler Studios asks us "What do you wish to rise above?"
Such a fitting thing to ask myself right now as I look back at this long journey. I have always been a scaredy cat. I've always found excuses to hide behind. I never thought that I would ever be able to live anything other than a quiet, boring, life. I didn't think it was inside of me to be anything more than that.
I was wrong.
Everyday I am amazed at the depths of the wells within me that I never dreamed were there. It's quite daunting to see yourself as a shallow pool and then realize you are as deep and unfathomable as the ocean. I love the surprises and the mystery that dwells inside of me.
I wish to rise above the preconceived notions I have of myself to truly believe that I am limitless and fathomless.
What do you wish on this Wednesday?

It is awesome!
It is truly beautiful with flecks of sparkle in it and I am just obsessed with holding it up to the light and watching it sparkle.
So what can Sunstone do for you?
If you suffered through winter depression this stone will allow you to begin to heal and let the light back into your life.
Another thing that this stone is great for (and something that I need a lot of) is help saying “no”. It helps you create and maintain healthy boundaries between you and others. It's also good for helping with co-dependency issies.
This stone wins my vote for my official stone of Spring. I think it might be one of my new favorites. It can lift dark moods and be beneficial if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. If you have abandonment issues, feelings of failure, or lack of self-esteem, definitely try working with this stone.
For an extra dose of oomph sit outside and meditate with a sunstone while sitting in the sun. Feel the warmth from the stone in your hand and feel the warmth of the sun sinking in to your bones.
What's your favorite crystal and why?
