My hand tattoo was still new here, so it looks a bit swollen…or I was just overweight at the time.

I think the only reason why I keep this blog going now is because she loved it. Like, she was a fan of me and my work as I was of hers. We met on a graffiti forum more than 20 years ago so we were internet friends, then became best friends irl. She would send us handwritten letters in cute stationary, art supplies, stickers and snacks through the mail. She was a Leo – a fire sign so our creativity, our art fagginess, dark, sarcastic, “haterade” humor was a match. She was fierce and loyal. I have never known someone to love and care so much about their friends.

Here is an artist interview that I still love reading time and time again that I kept on here:

Me when someone from high school finds my social media

“I can explain”

The movie referenced is Eyes Wide Shut.

This blog is my Midheaven in Scorpio – as the Midheaven or MC represents your individuality but it is also connected to public life and career in the birth chart. Because it is in Scorpio, my Midheaven is associated with sex, death, rebirth and of course…the occult. Go figure.

I hide in plain sight. If people find me, they find me. But I’d rather be behind the scenes, observing everyone. By the time I reached 11th grade, everyone in high school knew I was the artsy fartsy weirdo anyways.

Part of my marketing strategy for Metaphysical Vibes was to do giveaways by giving crystals & stones on occasion; it was a way to gain new followers and potential buyers to become more aware of your business, maybe motivating them to buy something later on. Most of the time though, the people who wanted something for free never really had any money and didn’t have any intention to buy later on.

Just another learning experience.

bookmark_borderVideo: Dark Smokey Quartz

From my personal collection, and also the model for this digital illustration.

Smoky or Smokey Quartz is associated with the root chakra. It is a grounding stone, meaning it can assist with keeping us from being scattered. Our thoughts and emotions tend to be all over the place but when you hold or are near a smokey quartz, it can help you to be more present. For me, I always keep a grounding stone when I’m driving.

This is the same Smoky Quartz, the first one I ever acquired from the Tucson Gem & Mineral show.
