Today I visited a Spiritual Fair held twice yearly at the Scottsdale Promenade hosted by A Peace Of The Universe. Judith has been organizing this event for more than 14 years now and has assembled a wide range of spiritualists, healers, and authors to compliment the festivities. As I made the rounds I met Patty Sanchez of Quintessential Inspirations and Brenda Pulice of Be Your Greatness who were sharing a booth offering affirmations to adorn the mirrors of your home, inspiring you to “See your Greatness”. Patty also displayed jewelry that likewise inspires affirmative thinking and being. Next up was Carol Costa, coauthor of a book titled Happiness Awaits You! Author Jade Lauryne was offering her book “Life By Design” but following the fair I have not been able to find her book online, you might check Judith’s shop A Peace Of The Universe – almost forgot to tell you about that. As for the toe reader, the palm readers, the holistic health practitioners, a portrait artist, tarot readers, and channelers who were all pretty busy, the only other folks I spend some time talking with were husband and wife authors Jerry and Donna Govan. This couple wrote a book titled, Take The E Out Of Ego & Go! They were kind enough to pass on a copy of their book to me for free, which I am yet to crack open. The three of us had a nice conversation about our potential and the need to dissolve our negative baggage.

This is not a usual type of event that I might normally attend, but my friend Alfred Chan, co-owner of my favorite Burmese restaurant in Arizona called Little Rangoon had asked if I would help set up and watch his booth at the fair. Earlier this year Alfred took a big-time liking to gems and minerals. By now the owner of an ever-growing collection of some truly beautiful pieces, he thought it might be a good idea to put some on sale and so we put on display a couple hundred of his favorites. He didn’t bring the giant celestine – my personal fave, but he did bring a bunch of rose quartz, smokey quartz, agates, amethysts, and a gorgeous ocean jasper that was quickly sold. Alfred is developing a new website called Fascinating Minerals where he plans to sell pieces from his collection in the near future.
