Happy New Year!
This morning, I woke up just after 5 am, meditated and set out to Santa Monica beach with friends for a sunrise New Year intention setting. It was so beautiful to see the sun come up while everyone is still asleep. I've never done anything like this for NY day - I'm usually hungover and in bed the entire day! So this was a healthy and peaceful healthy way to start the New Year!
Happy New Year and may 2017 bring everyone peace, love and magic!
Goodbye, 2016
This has been a very trying year for many. It has personally been the worst year of my life with the death of my grandfather and my beloved dog, Brody. I am still heartbroken and filled with incredible sadness over the loss. But with the year ending, I have vowed to let go of feelings that don't serve me anymore. I leave my grief, sadness, anger and every other emotion that I don't want to carry anymore in 2016. To make it ceremonial, I made a list of what I let go and I now look forward to happiness, love and abundance in the new year.
A Very Gomelsky Chrismakkah
Celebrating the first night of Hanukkah and Christmas Eve with my wonderful family. Grandma Tamara didn't want to join us (She's 92 and doesn't like to leave her home these days) so we brought her gifts and spent some time with her. We made it home just in time to light the menorah and start our celebrations! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from the Gomelskys!
Happy Place
Being a triple water sign (Cancer sun, Cancer moon and Pisces rising), I need to live by the water. I actually get very out of sorts if I'm away from it to long. True crab. That's why I'm so lucky to live in Santa Monica, Calif. and in walking distance to the ocean. Whenever I feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed (which I felt my share of this past year with all the loss and grief), I walk to the beach and just sit and stare at the waves. It instantly calms my soul and know that everything is and will always be, alright.
Custom Wall Hangings
With the exception of a short supply of ready-made pieces, all pieces are custom made with your choice of cord, feathers and stones for your astro sign.
Wall Hanging in Progress
This all brown wall hanging was looking a little too thin, so I'm fattening her up with some white feathers all around. She'll be on the site tomorrow, looking full and fabulous.
Healing Beads
My wonderful friend, Jen just gave me these beautiful Mala Beads with healing stones. She knows how I've been struggling with the death of my beloved dog, Brody last June and this was the most thoughtful gift. I will wear them daily, alongside my necklace with Brody's tag and hope the struggle gets much much easier.

Cornerstone on Demand Holiday Event
Yesterday we had the opportunity to be a vendor at Cornerstone on Demand's Santa Monica headquarters. It was the first event for us and so happy to be one of 10 vendors for the company holiday shopping! Huge thanks to my friend Paige for hooking us up.
