Your Renewed Sparkle

Thank You Notes #33

“I can hardly wait for tomorrow, it means a new life for me each and every day.” ― Stanley Kunitz

Dear Lovely Readers and Writers,

On Friday this week, my husband and I stepped out to do some holiday shopping. We were in the giving spirit.

Upon entering a crystal shop we had never been to, I felt transported to a world of sparkles and light. It was called Crystal Heart.

I was mesmerized by the twinkle in every window of this magical place. It felt like I had a renewed sense of purpose. Those crystals and rocks spend a long time underground. When unearthed, their light can shine upon us.

The gentleman in the shop told us about a rare rock only found in a mountain range in Russia. Its swirled purple color with tones of black and brown was beautiful.

It is called charoite, and we purchased a small round piece of it as a gift for our son. He loves purple, and it makes a powerful gift.

This lovely stone is one of transformation, renewing a person’s sense of being.

Even though I only held it for a short time, I felt connected to its energy. My shine and sparkle for life returned, and I am grateful for the days I took to rest and explore.

This week’s theme is:

Renewed Sparkle

Have you experienced an event that renewed your energy or feeling of purpose? What was that moment like? How did you feel?

I look forward to your poems, stories, and articles about your renewed sparkle.

We are celebrating 304 followers today!

Thank you all for helping us cross over our milestone of 300 followers!

Let us give a warm welcome to our new writer:

Scot Butwell

A loving note from your editor of Thank You Notes:

Thank you to everyone who keeps my spirits high each day. I appreciate each of you and I am grateful for your friendship.

This week I feel very inspired to write and share my creativity with the world.

I want to thank pockett dessert for sharing her lovely photography and graphics along with her articles. She has inspired me to pick up my camera again and renew my sparkle for making videos and sharing beauty.

This will be a prolific week for me, as I will balance the time I will take off to be with my dear sister-in-law visiting from out of town next week.

I will always be here to read and delight in your stories as well as publish them, so never fear. This is a time of great love. We slow down a little bit to savor the beauty and flavors of the season and it is perfect.

I wish you all a beautiful week ahead!
