“Since last year I’ve been into this spiritual, ‘everything has energy’ idea, so I’ve started reading about all these kind of out-there things– stuff like healing energies and certain stones and their energy. I read all about how these rocks are supposed to affect the energies around you, so I ended up getting really interested. I started collecting them and found this store in Eastown called Spirit Dreams. It’s pretty much my favorite place ever; they have buckets full of these rocks with all different energy ‘pathways,’ I guess. They all affect you differently as a person; there’s one that makes you feel calm and protected. There’s another that’s supposed to bring compassion and love; they’re all different.”
