Connecting in December with Mind Key – Wrap Up

December 30, 2016

As 2016 winds down and December ends, we’d like to reflect on the month’s theme of connection. We’ve spotlighted several people and many services that can help you feel more connected to the world. No matter if it’s loved ones, friends or strangers. We focused on topics that bring deeper meaning to feeling united during a divisive season. We encourage our readers and members to use their unique gifts to inspire and give back to others.

Once Upon a Time

Featured subthemes related to connection have included: trusting one’s intuition and sharing resources to facilitate growth and healing. Mind Key always plays a role, connecting you to services and products.

We began the month by announcing the launch of our new Etsy store. You can find a variety of items there intended to raise energy vibrations. Also offered, a gift for yourself or the writer in your life: Mind Key’s exclusive Great American Novel Package.

The first highlighted product of the month was the artwork of Elisabeth Ludwig. In “Elisabeth Ludwig on Science, Nature, and Magic”, we included images of her most popular pieces along with her personal perspectives on art and life.

“Wear Your Best Health: Amy Cousin Jewelry” talked of Amy’s creative motivations and inspirations. Wire wrapping semi-precious stones using gold, silver, and copper wire is her passion. She makes them into pieces of therapeutic art.

“Healing and connecting with Jahmu Chai” featured Jessica Filkins, creator of the world’s first instant turmeric-ginger chai tea mixes, with a mission to bring sunshine and healing to all who drink it.
