Not Just a Reboot - Working With Stones Too!

I've taken a little break from juicing this week.  I've still had juice everyday...but, have added in meats & bread, and eating produce as well.  I needed something, as I was fatiguing too easily.  Now, from everything I've read, you are supposed to gain energy while juicing full time....that wasn't happening for me....so changed it up.  I intend to start back on my juice reboot today....but, going forward slightly differently.  I decided to re-read my juicing book, just for inspiration, and to remind myself of some knowledge I've gained along the way.  One little quip about lemons caught my eye!  Lemon rinds contain citral, which can interfere with Vitamin A absorption.  I wondered if this could have anything to do with my extreme muscle fatigue.....especially since almost every juice I make has at least 1 lemon in it, rind & all!  So, from now on, I will be peeling all of my lemons, and I will report back on how I feel this time around.  Hoping its something as simple as this!

Now, for something completely different (thank you Monty Python!):
I've finally started working with the beach stones that I brought back from our vacation on the shores of Lake Michigan. 
 They are so simple, yet simply beautiful in their simplicity!
I haven't done anything extravagant with them yet, tho I have a few other ideas rummaging around in my head.  Actually, I have set tiny gem stones inside a few of them....though, I'm not entirely sure I like that concept at all.  I had thought it might be complimentary.....adding a little sparkle to something so innately primitive......but, I'm not quite dazzled by it at all....in fact, I haven't even taken any pictures of them yet, so that speaks a lot!
Just to be clear, those little dots on the stone in the 2nd pic are natural inclusions, and not the gem stones I just spoke of.
Another project I have been working on is copper band rings.......I haven't' figured out what I'd like to top them with yet.....so they sit downstairs unadorned....perhaps I'll have another go at that today....see how I get inspired......

I'm off....
