My response on the @LadiesofHive -

Contest # 233 this week:

Questions are:
1️⃣ People are often fascinated by certain personality traits, styles, or habits of others and feel inspired to adopt them. However, despite their admiration, they may find it challenging to incorporate these traits into their own lives. Are there any specific traits or habits you find particularly admirable? What about these traits captivates you, and why would you like to adopt them? Have you ever made an effort to embrace them, and if so, what challenges did you encounter?

2️⃣ Collecting objects is a hobby that many enjoy, often without even realizing it. Do you have a collection — big or small — that reflects your interests or memories? What is the most unusual or surprising item you’ve ever collected, and what inspired you to keep it?

The first question, yes, I do admire those people who stay calm and quiet in situations when they know they are right and they are being tried to prove wrong. I am not saying that they have to accept the wrong, but there are some people who know when to react and when not to. They have full control over their emotions and they do not get driven by any situations which puts them in an impulsive mode. Some times it is best not to speak in that moment and let the heat pass. After that when things get in normal mode then the talking can be done. I am not a very impulsive person, but there are times when if wrong things are happening around me, I lose my temper and blast out. I would surely want to keep this in control, I have improved a lot over the years but still not there 100%.

There are 2 things that I am extremely fond of collecting, one is Crystals and the other is Angel figures. Since years I have been collecting them and now my friends and acquaintances know that I like, in gifts also I receive it. They are like magnets for me :-) Even when I am travelling, from nowhere they will appear. Now when I went to Turkey there too I happened to come across a big Crystal shop and I bought one of the rare Crystals Zultanite, the specialty of this crystal is it changes colors. I will share and write about it soon. I also bought one Angel figurine which just magically appeared from nowhere to me in one of the shops. It was the only shop in my whole trip where I saw these Angel figures.

Every nook and corner of my home is filled with Crystals and Angel figures. I have made 2 collages which I will like to share to give a glimpse of my few Angel figures. From these some are gifts and some I have bought. The small white one is one of my favorite. Before I used to always carry it with me when I would travel, but then one of it's wing broke, I did manage to fix it but then after that I am not carrying it with me, because I do not wish to damage it any further.

The reason why I am so fond of them is, that in my Crystal healing work, I do take a lot of help from Angels and I always feel they are around me, they come in my dreams and they are a very close part of my life. Crystals I use them in healing, making grids and just placing them in my home.

Here is a very small collection of my crystal which I have majorly used in grids. Over the years I have become superstitious about my crystals and I do not like to share them much with everyone. These are some of the old grids whose energy has been used up, so I am ok to share. For some who have been following me since a long time would know that previously I shared many of my crystal pictures but now I do not. I just feel that when I share it with too many people, the energy of it is getting disturbed, so I better not. When I bring it new and till the time I have not cleansed and charged them, it is ok for me to share, but once I do the cleansing and charging then I avoid any touch on it.

I have many many more crystals, this is just may be 5% of it or even lesser.
