Today I am feeling very grateful, particularly to this wonderful family!

Setting up a market stall

I decided to take a market stall at Cat’s Kitchen (a local restaurant in Estepona, Spain) to see what the general public would make of our products. We began Angel of Wellness during lockdown and have had very little face to face contact, but armed with plenty of knowledge, love and a huge amount of belief in our products, it was well worth giving it a go!

Waiting for customers

After the initial jostling for the best pitch and feeling a bit flustered by the experience, it was time to set up camp and display our products on my somewhat small table with our large product range. I did it to the best of my ability and then it was time to wait for the customers to arrive, urmmmmm so where were the customers? There were plenty of people but they were all coming to listen to the live music and have lunch, very few were interested in visiting our stalls. I began to think.. just maybe, I had picked the wrong venue?

Focusing on gratitude

Rather than focusing on the negative and wondering whether or not customers were coming to my stall, I decided to people watch instead. It was a beautiful day and I started watching people walking past into the garden center next door and coming out with their newly purchased plants and herbs to take home to spruce up their gardens or terraces. I started to feel grateful. Why? Because so many people were making the most of sunny day and the minimal restrictions in our area and people were having fun. I also felt grateful that my husband was working and my daughter was on an activity with friends for the day. The more I thought of things I was grateful for, the happier I felt and I noticed that I was smiling, I wasn’t feeling so anxious and the time was going by more quickly.

Within an hour or so, a few familiar faces popped over to say hello, pick up literature, have a natter, admire the products and carry on their lunch and afternoons. I had a good chat with friendly Philip who was working at the restaurant and he totally understood and loved the Shungite products and what they can do for our health and well-being. As the afternoon wore on, I did think to myself that this is all a learning experience and a very valuable one. Even I didn’t sell a thing, I would have discovered that I needed to buy a bigger, stronger table and a larger flask for my tea!

My first customers of the day

And then… this lively, very loving family arrived. Sian had heard about Shungite beforehand and knew a little bit about it but wanted to bring her mum, dad, brother and family to see me to discover more. Well, an hour or so later, the whole family were kitted out with Shungite, whether it was with bracelets to help with joint pain or balancing emotions, gratitude pebbles or necklaces for the children, chunks of Shungite elite for water purification and as an investment, there was a little bit of magic for everyone and I had finally had a customer! What gratitude and joy… I was so happy to have gone outside my comfort zone, to attend the event and to have made a great sale.

After meeting this family and listening to their stories, my faith in humanity is restored! As I sit here with my gratitude pebble in my pocket writing this blog, I can honestly say that I haven’t felt this good in ages.

Here is some information on our Shungite Gratitude Pebbles for you:

Shungite Gratitude Pebbles

Gratitude Rocks or Pebbles are becoming increasingly more popular as people continue in their search for happiness and for ways to help improve their mental health and life in general. The entrepreneur, life and business coach, Lee Brower made a wonderful contribution to a book called ‘The Secret’, a book about the power of positive thinking. In ‘The Secret’, he explained how one day he picked up a pebble and put it in his pocket. As he touched the pebble, it sparked an idea; he decided that every time he touched his ‘rock’ he would think of one thing he was grateful for. Our Shungite ‘Gratitude Pebbles’ are the next generation on from Lee’s idea. Our Shungite ‘Gratitude Pebbles’ not only serve as a gratitude reminder but in addition additional health and wellness benefits and an energetic quality.

“Gratitude empowers us to take charge of our emotional lives and, as a consequence, our bodies reap the benefits. As a treatment, gratitude is cost effective, quick and available to everyone. There are no known negative side effects! It is not a cure-all, of course, but it can significantly enhance the effects of conventional medical treatments. The effects of gratitude are not limited to the physical realm. Just to give a glimpse into its benefits, gratitude increases self-esteem, enhances will power, strengthens relationships, deepens spirituality, boosts creativity and improves athletic and academic performance. Given the range of these positive outcomes, gratitude has fittingly been referred to as the quintessential positive trait, the amplifier of goodness in oneself, the world and others, and as having the unique ability to heal, energize and change lives.”
