Heart-shaped rocks

     Heart shaped rocks, you say?  What is psychic about THAT?  Well, in fact it is in my experience a psychic phenomena for me. Let me explain... many years ago, perhaps 20 years or more, I once found a heart-shaped rock.  It was well-defined and definitely shaped like a heart.  I picked it up and kept it and it was one of my most precious possessions because it could not be purchased anywhere.  It was totally unique and unusual, which I loved.



Part of my collection

    Then, about ten years ago, I began to research psychic phenomena.  I learned that if you want something in your life you can ask for it to be there.  The first thing that I asked for, for another reason that is very personal and special, were the colors purple and red. That is a story for another post, but all I need to say here is that red and purple began to appear in my life.  Around that time I moved into an apartment and in going through my things, found the heart-shaped rock that I had found so many years ago.  I said to myself, "it would be so cool to find another one."  I can't remember where exactly, but I found another one. 

     Then I took a job at Hala Ranch about 4 years ago.  They had rather large rocks laid in on all the walkways around the barn and in going back and forth with the horses I found hundreds - yes, hundreds of heart-shaped rocks.  You might think this is impossible, or that I am stretching the truth.  No.  I have shown my collection to those who visited the barn and initially they too were skeptical, but there they were, piles of heart-shaped rocks!  Our farrier, Tom, thought I was a crack-pot at first.  He thought my heart-shaped rocks were...kinda silly.  Tom is a man's man, you see.  Then one day at this ranch which is high up in mountains, the deep winter snow began to melt and caused quite a bit of flooding on his place.  He said that huge rocks were actually floating on to his front yard.  He said to me, "And Cari, wouldn't you know, this huge rock lands on my front lawn and I'll be damned if it wasn't shaped like a HEART!"

A small part of my collection

     I also found them while on vacation and at home and other places there are rocks.  Sometimes I forget to look, because you must look in order to find them.  And sometimes it's good to take a rest from looking.  I left part of my collection at the ranch and I don't know what will happen to them, but that's OK.  It's good to let go sometimes and return what we have been given.  The joy comes in finding them in the first place.  For me they symbolize several things: love and wishing things in to your life and creating the impossible.

     For me the heart-shaped rocks are something I brought into my life.  I created them somehow (not literally) but in my mind.  My desire to find them put them where I would find them. It proved to me that you can bring things into your life that you want to be there.  I am also sure that we are destined not to get everything we have asked for, but many things we can influence.  Of course you must wonder why I didn't wish other things in to my life, like oh, money? Or a dream job?  Actually, that would be a good topic for another blog.  I did get my dream job, and the man I desired, and a small quantity of money so far.  I have gotten many things I wanted, they just didn't turn out quite like I thought they should.  Our lessons to be learned in this life are more important than getting what you want.  The things you "want" are attached to problems that you must resolve, unless it is something like a heart-shaped rock.  God says, "oh of course you can have a heart-shaped rock, Cari.  No charge!"

One of my favorite heart-shaped rocks

Addendum:  I wrote this a few months ago and had never posted it.  In the meantime, my good friend
 Leigh Ann came to visit from and mentioned to me that she has a collection of all things, heart shaped rocks! What a wonderful moment - sometimes the universe or God or the powers that be show us why our friends are our friends...  Here is a photo of her collection:
