Kelsie's, Washington DC ~ Jan 1-4

Vicki's in Mocksville ~ Jan 15-19
Vicki offered to host a jewelry party for me. Her friends came and I made several custom pieces for them. The next day the storm inspired me to delay my trip south and reroute to a more southern route.
The Texas Ranch ~ Jan 24-Feb 10
The home of Crystalline Phoenix and the place where I purchase the good stuff (since 2011). Always awesome to return here.
Jay's in Snowflake AZ ~ Feb 12-25
Jay Schwed pulled up to the Angel Room in 2008 and opened the back of his old Toyota pickup truck explaining that he and his singing bowls had not been "home" for 10 years! With jaw dropped I stood imagining what it would be like to be on the road, wild & free.
The Dig Site ~ Feb 28-Mar 7
After 11 years of working together, it happens!! I get to visit the Crystalline Phoenix Dig Site In New Mexico. Amazing to see what is involved with harvesting these m
Back at the Ranch ~ Mar 24-April 9
ahhhhhhhh back to Crystalline Phoenix ... to meditating most days, doing a couple of live sales and loving the land and friends
Vicki's in Mocksville, NC ~ Jan 4-7
Vicki and I met in 1987 waiting tables in Ft Myers, FL. We started businesses together. I was making hand painted garments and she repped them. And we have been great friends all these years! She and Bob have a slice of heaven in Mocksville ... see more
Jeff's in Chapel Hill, NC ~ Jan 9-11
Jeff and I met at a Wellness Fair in Mass in 2016. We traveled together in his RV for four months in 2017. Journeyed south into Florida then along the southern states and up through California to Oregon. And we are still friends!
Marla's in Ocean Isle ~ Jan 13-15
Marla walked into the Angel Room one day in 2009 and I fell in love!! She is an Angel herself and even though we don't see each other often, it always feels like yesterday.

My first stays with Boondockers Welcome & Harvest Hosts in South Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas were AWESOME!!! Love it so very much!! Safe, friendly and no crowds.

Sister Time ~ Mar 7-23
Loved travelling with my sister Joan. Phoenix, Sedona, Snowflake, New Mexico, Texas Coast ... an amazing unforgettable 2 weeks together
Long Way Home ~ April 9-19
a little apprehensive about going home. feel like I have changed ... feeling untethered and wondering if I will get sucked into the same old or maintain my sense of freedom. But, it was so good to be home.
