Friendsgiving has always held a special place in my heart. I do not celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional way, but a week before the holiday I used to host a small gathering where friends came together to share food, laughter, and a sense of community. Everyone brought a little dish and I provided the main meal. Throughout the evening, friends and family would drop by, chat for a while, eat, and then say their farewells until Christmas/Yule.

As an energy practitioner, I work closely with stones, and with that being said, I want to start offering a small monthly blog called “Stone of the Month.” The idea is that if someone happens to come across my website or blog and is curious about what kinds of stones to use, they can find a little perspective and information on the stones I personally use in my energy sessions.

Medical gaslighting occurs when a healthcare provider dismisses, minimizes, or questions your symptoms in a way that makes you doubt your own experience. This can leave patients feeling unheard, frustrated, or even ashamed of their own bodies. It can delay proper diagnosis, treatment, and healing, and may contribute to increased anxiety or stress around medical care.
