True Story:

One day last year, a customer was lingering near the crystals, scanning them intently. She looked perplexed, like she was searching for something specific. I walked over and gently asked the usual, “Hi, do you need any help?”

She leaned in, almost whispering, and said she was looking for a special crystal. At first, I thought she’d said the name of a stone I didn’t recognise. I asked her to repeat it a couple of times before I realised… she was saying “fertility.”

She explained that she and her partner had been trying to conceive since lockdown, without success, and she was hoping one to two of my crystals would help.

To be honest, I was a little taken aback, not just by the openness, but truthfully, there’s not one of us who hasn’t acted out of character when desperate.

I paused. I knew what I was about to say would lose a sale. I asked, “Can I give you my honest opinion?”

She nodded.

“It’s a sensitive subject,” I said, “and standard disclaimer, this isn’t medical advice, just one woman to another, like I would with a friend. But it sounds like everything’s become a bit… clinical. Nature doesn’t always respond well to strict routines or our demands. Passion and connection matter. Throw away the TV. Go at it, as often as possible; morning, night, and any time in between. A glass of wine's optional.”

She froze. Then she laughed. Then we both did. I could feel her energy shift.

We chatted more about energy, contrails vs chemtrails, Operation Mockingbird, crystals, and how ultimately you have to put the PoW in and crystal are support tools. We shared another giggle, and she left, not with a 'fertility crystal' (because there’s no such thing), but with a reminder of emotional sovereignty.

To my surprise, she still bought a few beautiful stones, saying to consider it a sale from her boyfriend 😂, and that she wanted to support what I was doing.

That moment stayed with me.

It wasn’t just a transaction, fiat had never been so irrelevant. It was a real exchange of energy.

The kind of value you can’t print or package.

Whether you’re into crystals or not, just figuring things out, or not sure what you believe… oftentimes, it’s the honest, human connection that shifts everything.

And that’s why I'm here, on Nostr.

Sometimes I may have wise things to say, other times I’ll come out with some dumb shit - regardless the outcome - what’s the real point if we don’t have fun with the process.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
