I was also in the reserves and full-time army in the 1990's. You should be able to get the book on ebay . I'm also a bookworm I read 40 book's this year. I have not heard of that icecream before. I was a rifleman and combat engineer in the army and was medically discharged as a schizophrenic,  many years later I was diagnosed schizoaffective disorder.

Well, here we are at another Xmas so Merry, Merry Xmas to you, @SmilingGecko. I hope you have an enjoyable day no matter what you do. I have opened my gift from my neighbour. She is such a thoughtful young woman. Her gift was a delight and I just hope she likes hers as much. She has made my day.

You say that you bought a yellow sapphire. I know nothing about gems but have to ask if gems in jewelry have beneficial effects or just loose stones?

I agree that dietary restrictions have the potential to bring out greater culinary creativity just as solo living can. We only have ourselves to please. I hope you enjoy your alcohol free champagne mocktails. I had a lemon, lime and bitters at the recent bowls lunch and it was delicious. I don't remember when I last tasted alcohol!

Have a lovely day, @SmilingGecko, and don't get up to too much mischief!

Hello @Historylover yes so lovely of your neighbour to gift you something, I'm so glad you liked it!

Yes gems are more expensive than crystals. Gems are called precious minerals and crystals are semi precious.  There are gemologists in holy lands like India that give gem prescriptions based on your astrological signature.  They are there to bring out the best in you and mitigate against negative characteristics in the human persona as well as to attract the desired things that fall in line with your unique aspirations and yearnings.

The world of gems can be really expensive. Have seen big names on the human potential circuit with expensive gems. Saw the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul leave a review recently on a gemology site for a chunky expensive gem! lol 

Gems and crystals can do amazing things for you.

Gems in jewellery as well as loose gems and crystals. You have to cleanse and charge them however to get the desired effects.

Do you have any jewellery with gems in them? 

Gems/Crystals emit piezolecectricity and modulate the energy field of the user to effect changes on all levels of ones being - psyche, spirit, mind and body. Once you try them you won't want to stop. I never used to believe in them thinking they were new age woo-woo.

I had a friend who was a geophysicist and she got me into them. She was given a huge piece of moldavite to take home by her lecturer when she was at uni and had a massive kundalini awakening while it was under her desk. She had to reconcile her faith as a Catholic and her direct experience with crystals. She is still a geophysicist and wrote a lovely book on crystals.

I'm glad you got some grog. Youre like me a non drinker typically. In winter I might have had some Port wine to warm my body as alcohol is warming. I don't think its called Port anymore, but anyhow. My champagne mocktail went down a treat. Such simple ingredients lending an amazing taste.

Wishing you a good xmas.

Next year will be marvellous!

I have an emerald in a necklace—a 1940 wedding present of my late mother's—and an amethyst ring of similar vintage, @SmilingGecko. Anything significant with them? How do they get cleansed and charged? 

I'm looking forward to next year in that case—'marvellous' you say?

Still waiting for the thundershower here. Looks like we might miss it over here.

How to cleanse and charge your crystals as a beginner:

https://themanifestationcollective.co/how-cleanse-charge-crystals-beginner/

I cleanse mine in salt water then place them either under a new moon or a full moon. I will say this as you are in luck because this week on Wednesday the 27th is a full moon. 

So I would encourage you to cleanse your gems now using whatever method appeals to you and then put them out under the full moon this Wednesday and leave them overnight.

There are other ways of course but its up to you.

You will get the most out of wearing the jewellery and also derive metaphysical benefits rather than just wearing it for the sake of beauty alone. 

I think 2023 was a difficult year but numerologically its an 8 Universal year next year.

Have you calculated your Personal Year yet?

You take the day and month of the day you were born and add it to 2024.  ie if you were born on the 7th of September (9th month of the year) you would add 7 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 24 You then just add the digits together and you get a 6.

So You would be in a 6 personal year.

I use Christine DeLoreys year books each year to track the days months and the year. Being aware of your Personal Year can harmonise you with the energy and face both challenges and opportunities

I had done the birth year calculation, @SmilingGecko, and above all, for my number 1, it is the start of a new beginning—change is on the horizon. And that is good news. The rest made for an interesting read and self-analysis, much of which rings true. On the whole, it looks like a good year ahead.

I will re-charge my gems on Wednesday. I never wear them as I have no reason to do so, but perhaps I'll indulge myself around the house. I don't like to create false illusions as to my wealth or absence thereof as I go out and about, so keeping them in their box is safest on that score. 

[SmilingGecko]

So its a 1 Personal Year for you @Historylover? Fresh beginnings and new starts. I allready had Christine DeLoreys Yearbook on my computer I downloaded it to Officeworks for printing. 

Lovely to wear gems around the house or even just keeping it in a pouch in your pocket. I have mojo pouches for my crystals! I'm about to have lunch. I hope you have enjoyed today. Its been a good day today for me. Not much happening but a nice day nonetheless 🙂

Hello @Historylover @Oaktree @saturnzoon 

Just did my vision board for 2024 on Pinterest and had it sent over to Officeworks to expand it to A3 in size and have a glossy laminate.  I have a stack of things I wanted to manifest for next year and used the sun forming a favorable angle to jupiter the great benefic today for drawing things in. Its a nice day for good fortune. Lovely to do law of attraction manifestation visionboards

Here is a short video which walks you step by step into how to create a free visionboard using Pinterest

And a good day to re-charge gemstones, @SmilingGecko? So, how far did you walk today. I've just completed a 30-minute walk so I'm feeling smug. As for 2024, I'll just let it shape up into whichever shape is beneficial to me (for a change). A number 1 year presents a new beginning for me. We'll see. 🤞

[SmilingGecko]

Yep put your gemstones in the moonlight tonight @Historylover. Haven't walked yet today but was on my chi exercise machine this morning. Got to get out and walk this afternoon but have food being delivered in the next hour from Woolworths.  Have been without food delivery since xmas day and boxing day as they were on holidays. Very excited about 2024 manifestations though!  Looking forward to my end of year electricity bill to see solar power savings plus excess being fed into the grid. My bill is allready in credit
