Crystal clear
Recently, I had to take a break from university due to mental health problems. I was really struggling to get my motivation levels up, feeling drained from all the negativity around me.
On one of my lowest days, I decided to step outside and there, right between my feet, was a black tourmaline crystal. Despite having a big crystal collection, this is one I didn’t have. I took it as a sign I needed it in my life. That day, I wire-wrapped it and have worn it on a necklace ever since. It gave me the encouragement to ground myself and make positive changes so I can get back on track and return to university next year.
Rainbow bright
When my dear mum passed away after a long illness, our family was devastated. Shortly after, my dad, who been caring tirelessly for Mum at home,became very ill himself; so much so, he was unable to come to her funeral.
With just a few family members and friends attending due to Covid restrictions, we laid Mum to rest.The service was very beautiful and peaceful. My niece took this photo, in which can be seen a rainbow circling Mum’s flowers. I believe it was a beautiful message to say she was with us all that day.
Goodbye Bubble
When I was young, we had a cat called Bubble. She was a great companion and we were very close. It was Bubble who woke me every morning, and as soon as I got home from school at night, I’d go to look for her.
She was about 12 when she died. I was at school when my mother found Bubble lying outside, breathing erratically. Mum took her to the vet who said she’d had a stroke and sadly wouldn’t recover, so she was put to sleep.
However, that night, in bed, I felt her presence in the room. She jumped up on my bed, walked over and stepped across my face. Not only did I feel her weight on either side of me, I could also sense the hairs on the underside of her tummy. Bubble had come back to me to say ‘goodbye’ for the last time.
Packed with inspiration
I absolutely love Spirit & Destiny magazine. The highlight of my month is when a new issue comes out. I just love to relax and read it cover to cover. I have been buying the magazine monthly for the last five years and never miss an issue. There are so many interesting articles and inspiring quotes I like to have access to in one place. That’s why I’ve created my own inspiring scrapbook containing all my favourite quotes and articles from over the years. I hope you like it!
