I always meet interesting people in Tucson - Grace here, makes "Gracelets" - and she was pleased to discover a great new material: Lavender Moon Quartz, which is said to be heated for over a week to get this amazing color. It's a bit more expensive than most of our bracelets, but well worth it for that color! Email [email protected] with interest.

PLUS, I'll be selling at the following shows:

• Gem Miners Jubiliee (Fairgrounds, MD), June 13-15 INFO

In the meantime, any (and every) day - our Portal Crystal Gallery is open 7 days a week - in Arlington Center, MA at 489 Mass. Ave. from 1-4pm (starting at noon on Saturdays)

I found myself writing Comments to challenge and debunk false statements - but then I asked myself - is this the best use of my time? Why am I trying to convince people who already believe opposites of what I understand to be true, that they're barking up the wrong tree? Then I realized - I'm the tree, and I'm letting them do that - instead of moving on, as I would if this were a bad date. 

After a nice little respite - including celebrating my 28th Weddning Anniversary - I'm looking at my next show in 2 weeks. Another long drive - this time to MD - and I have major logistical considerations I need to make for my trip to Denver in September.

Thoughts on the world? Let the UnFriending continue! Made the video above after realizing - maybe I should put more energy into people I actually like - than being a thorn in the side of wolves in sheep's clothing. Who needs 'em?!
