An Emerald State of Mind

Being able to start a fresh journal on the 1st day of the week or month is such a cool feeling! I finished the last page of my old journal last night, and, as I sit here, this PAGE ONE hits with a special vibe. I really feel as if I am starting a new chapter, a new level, even a new timeline. 

I've been journaling since my mother gave me a diary for my 10th birthday. Now, I have notebooks and journals for the various areas of my life. I don't pressure myself much on what I write or how often. In the mornings, (usually after I stretch,  meditate,  and hydrate) I just grab a pen and let it flow. This "method" works for me because it helps me organize whatever is in my head, my heart, and my spirit and bring it all into (my new favorite word) alignment.

This morning was really great because I noticed that I had unintentionally picked up a green pen, put on a dark green top, and picked up a raw emerald from the collection of stones in my room. My favorite colors for the last few months have alternated between magenta, orange, and burgundy. In my room, I have stones of rose quartz, ruby, kunzite, moonstone etc. ~ but this dark green raw emerald just felt like something I wanted to have in my hand.

I did some research about the history of emeralds (going as far back as the babylonians in 4000 bc) and it all made sense because the metaphysical properties of this ancient stone align with my current goals, projects, and aspirations. 

March is already shaping up to be one for the books, and I'm excited that I can keep a record in the journal that was once just a vague vision. It's a reminder that once I can align myself with whatever it is I envision...the manifestation won't be far behind!
