Meet Amy from the Hudson Valley in NY

When this homeschooling, stay-at-home, mother of two went through a divorce, she needed to figure out how to support herself and her two children. Two things that always made her happy were crystals and making crystal jewelry. She particularly loved creating beautiful bracelets and wore them all the time. People would often compliment her on them and ask her where she got them. When they found out she was the artist, they suggested that she set up her own Etsy shop. That led to the idea that she could sell them and hopefully one day be able to support her family. Along with jewelry, she eventually added other things to her shop such as calcite lamps. She said that her tour of our cave sparked her imagination and creativity. Amy said, “It was really interesting to see the caverns and all the natural formations of calcite! It got me really excited because calcite is incredibly beautiful when it’s illuminated.” Amy is grateful for her journey and says that she feels blessed to be able to work so closely with something that she is so passionate about. “I’m trying to share my love for crystals with the world. They are my favorite thing and I think they add a unique and harmonizing quality whatever you place them on or around. It’s incredibly powerful to watch the energy of wherever you place them shift.” Being a single mom, an entrepreneur, as well as teaching from home, has been no easy journey for Amy, She admits that, like everyone, she has ups and her downs. She does see slow and steady growth in her personal, spiritual and professional life daily and says that is all one can ever hope for. When I asked her, what the secret to manifesting the life that you want is, she replied; “It’s all about your frequency. Raise your frequency beyond what you think you are capable of. Training our minds to have positive thoughts is hard in a world where we are created to remember the negative, out of primal protection. You have to make sure that you are input managing with intention. Meaning, be mindful of what you are consuming mind, body and soul. Once your frequency is raised and it stays that way consistently, you will manifest beautiful things in your life like magic.” Amy, it was a huge pleasure to meet you, your beautiful family, and homeschooling co-op today! Thank you so very much for sharing your story and thank you for visiting!
