Have you all noticed this?
Ask anyone about rocks, and any and all social barriers are gone in a flash. No more issues at all. Just rock talk.
I found that out tonight.
There's been a gal I've been concerned about. No life, not much family, etc.
We talk about rocks, sometimes. She used to do jewelry, but not for many years. I gave her a few of my tumbles over a year ago, and encouraged her.
I saw her a few months ago, gave her another rock.
Months passed....
Tonight, out of the blue, she gave me an amazing rock, and a 'desert rose' that I never knew existed.
I have been trying to take pix of the amazing white quartz 'rose', but I can't do it justice. The rock she gave me kinda shows how it formed. Way cool!
And she has a job now. And she wants to get a driver's license for the first time in her life. (I think she's in her 50's?)
She is also going to work on her jewelry making again.
She told me my rocks "inspired" her.
I was flamboozled!
I was so thrilled when she gave me something so amazing!! It was a huge step for her, to actually have the confidence to give something to someone, and know it would be very well received!
Such a small thing (like a rock) can make such a BIG difference. Thanks to you all, for helping me do that.
