Recommended Posts

I really love pearls and opals. One of my best friends brought me an opal from New Zeland and another brought be a rose gold chain from Italy. I put them together and always wear that necklace when I'm facing a hard day. It gives me courage knowing I'm wearing something given by two people who love me.

I have no idea what the signifcance of opals are. Can any of you tell me?

yup, rose crystals are very nice. I don't know if another regeonal name is cherry crystal though. Sorry, but I just don't have that information.

Wow Nana~, just the sounds of those runes sound energy packed. I'll bet they are affecting your sleep and dreams!

But sometimes things just can't be cleaned. I did a tarot reading for a then house-mate. All the cards used curled after and I could never get them to flatten out. I'd never seen so many swords all in one reading. Ever. After that reading, those cards were never the same and I eventually had to burn them and their silk wrapper. I should have known better than to do a reading for her in the first place... the negative energy was like a mailstrom... Her boyfriend was in prison for killing his brother over a bad drug deal their mother set up... The boyfriend was younger than her oldest son, so he was a minor. She'd smuggle drugs to him every chance she had... It was just bad, just bad all around.

Karen is a rose quartz the same as a cherry quartz? I have a cherry quartz ring and when I wear it I feel happy. I love that ring it is my favorite

I think it's similar but where rose quartz is a light pink, cherry quartz is a darker pink, but yeah, similar energies. A cherry quartz ring sounds really lovely!! I have a rose quartz pendant that I wear. And yeah, when I wear it I feel happy. Perfect description!!!!

Kare here is what I found about Opals.

Opal healing power : (March and October Birthstone). A silicate. Contains Water, correlating with our emotions. Clarifies by amplifying and mirroring feelings, buried emotions and desires (including love and passion). Less inhibition, more spontaneity. Crown and brow chakra. Visualization, imagination, dreams and healing. Easily absorbs, stores emotions and thoughts. Fragile. Fades / cracks in sun, heat, salt, acidic foods. Moisten frequently with Water or oil. Some cancel/negate other gems. (Backfires if not used for good of all) May change color with high energy / intensity people.

White: Balances Left and Right. Brain.

"Black" / Dk blue: One of the most potent.

Fire Opals: May stimulate passion, temper, and energy.

Also Kare, from the book "Crystal Therapy" by Doreen Virtue and Judith Lukomski (both actually wonderful friends of mine)

"Harmony is the essence of this stone, which derives its gift in balancing all levels of your being." It also says it will amplify emotions but helps in releasing old karmic ties and helps you let go of old wounds.

Powerful stuff! No wonder you feel so good when you wear it!!

WOW - I FOUND MY PEOPLE!!!! I have dabbled in tarot, spells, and healing angel cards awhile back. I haven't found my spirtual nitch yet. The best of the 3 I mentioned - I felt the healing angel cards worked best, but still didn't seem to be quite my thing. I would love to chat with you guys about other ideas and things you dabble in. This is great!

Angle cards are great. At the Christmas party my in-laws host we always do the cards. My DH started the tradition... They are a nice way of focusing...

Last year my DH gave me a set of Gddess cards. Today my card is "I control my life with the decisions that I make."

That's awesome. My boyfriend is totally not into this stuff. I'm sure he would find it a waste of time. I felt a lot better when I was doing the cards, but again I felt like it just wasn't my "thing" it didn't click for me except the angel cards clicked a little. What other things do you do? What are the Goddess cards that you have?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
