Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and gave thanks for all the blessings in your life. Our 12 Days of Giving Back series of FREE events starts with a Free Photo op with Santa 1-4 pm today at our new community event center! See more details below about other times available for Santa and holiday picture opportunities. Now let the shopping begin! We have certainly made the discounts available during our Customer Appreciation Sale last month, but no worries if you were out of town for Thanksgiving Week. You can still take advantage of discounted pricing needed for your gift buying budget during our 12 Days of Giving Sale in the store featuring 15-25% off great gift ideas and our Online 12 Days of Clickin' Tags where savings are just a click away.

The monstrous yet exciting move to our new location is just around the corner. Be sure to reserve Saturday, January 25, 2025 for our grand opening party. The Tibetan Monks came for a visit and blessed our new location. Their 45 minute blessing ritual with 7 blessings in total was so soul impactive I would be remiss in not mentioning that this blessed event was for all of those present, not just for our property. All blessing rituals were performed so each person individually got to reap the blessing rewards to cleanse and enhance their lives. Look for their return next year and promise yourself you will attend this free opportunity to enhance your life.

Some highlights in this newsletter include:

Read about Petoskey Stone, a fossilized coral 350 million years old that is said to stimulate the 3rd eye chakra
Check out Tara’s two part workshop Powering Up Your Intuition for January 2025!
Review Sagittarius astrological guidelines and how retrograde energy will effect you this month
Support local Artisans at our Bi-Annual Jewelry Bazaar for that special jewelry holiday gift
Come listen to Yolanda from Natural Grocers explain how to attain a “Healthy Mood’ this month

Were you able to catch the Super Moon last month? This moon had the largest sighting for the year and, without any effort on your part, imbued you with exceptional energy you will be able to draw on to help you thru this month. This extra energy combined with Mercury going direct on December 16th should help in all that holiday shopping energy and emotional drainage. I’ve been reading about a new concept to start your New Year’s resolution in December rather than waiting until January 1st. This allows you time to get rid of old habits before the new year starts allowing you a better chance of achieving your goals. I like this idea and think it reduces the structure of setting yourself up for failure. This December, with all that extra energy from the Super Moon and Mercury going direct pushing forward intention, would be a perfect time to start this concept for a better lifestyle.

Please everyone, continue to stay safe and healthy.

Blessings,

Karen and the Staff

Build-Out of New Rock Depot & Retail Showroom

Please let your friends and neighbors know so that we can continue to sustain ourselves until the Move happens! Word of mouth has always been our best marketing tool, so we cannot do it without YOU!

We are excited to announce that our renovation permits are being reviewed quickly, and so the transformation of our new building is well under way with demolition, walls, doorways, and ducts all being added.

The Texas Department of Transportation broke ground on its I-35 Capital Express Central project Oct. 30, signaling the next decade of construction along I-35 through Austin. What's happening: The project will add two nontolled high-occupancy-vehicle, or HOV, lanes stretching roughly 8 miles from Hwy. 290 down to Hwy. 71. The $4.5 billion infrastructure project will also lower the main lanes and remove the upper decks.

Nature’s Treasures of Texas, a beloved haven for crystal enthusiasts and fans of spiritual treasures, is excited to announce its expansion to a larger location, set to open January 2025. READ MORE

The Twelve Foundation Stones

of the Heavenly City: Chrysoprase

by: Adrienne Goff

As we turn the page of the calendar to December, we come to the final chapter of the year and the last article in the twelve foundation stones series. With the election just behind us and the winter holiday season ahead, it is fitting that this month’s article features chrysoprase, a healing green gemstone that soothes the senses, opens the heart, and promotes tolerance.

Ancient cultures across the planet believed in the healing energy of crystals, incorporating them into their medicine, rituals, and daily spiritual practices. The power of gemstones has been recognized in many religions and religious texts, and Christianity is no exception. You can find over a hundred references in the Bible to the use of stones, and perhaps the most interesting one is found in the Book of Revelation.

Monthly Astrological Guidance by Julie Reeves

Astrology Overview for December

As we move through the final month of 2024, our hearts may be in a reflective mode thanks to Mercury and Mars being retrograde in unison. We may feel the busy pace of the season too exhausting this year and find ourselves seeking comfort in a slower and more relaxed end to 2024.

Mercury and Mars retrograde together can create a general sense of sluggishness, lack of motivation, and a feeling of climbing uphill. We would be wise to take it easy, not take on too much, and prioritize self-care. December can be a stressful month for many with holiday planning, travel and family plans, but if you needed any excuse to keep it low key this year, these two retrogrades are a good one!

Featured Fossil: Petoskey Stone

Petoskey Stone, a Native American word, meaning “the Rays of the Living Sun” is a type of fossilized colonial coral. The Petoskey Stone dates back to over 350 million years ago. It is formed from a process known as glaciation, where sheets of ice remove stones from the bedrock. These fossilized corals can be found in the northwestern area of Michigan’s lower peninsula. It is said to stimulate the third eye chakra and aide in the awareness of one’s emotions and looking inward. Once polished, the six-sided coral fossil pattern is unveiled. It is a unique fossil specimen to use in home décor as well as to carry with you.
