The Good Life & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #99

November 27, 2018 / 58 Comments

I have read a lot of articles in the past 5 years or so that have addressed the issue of how difficult it becomes to make new friends the older we get. I have watched my 5 year old meet a new kid on the playground and when they discover one tiny thing they have in common, they instantly become best friends. And I have made comments like “Wouldn’t that be nice if it were that easy for adults?” Well, you know what I am discovering lately? It actually is that easy. For real. I have made a lot of new friends recently, right here in the middle of my 40’s, with the same ease that my 5 year old makes new friends. This makes me wonder if the difficulty in making new friends has nothing at all to do with age, but rather has much more to do with the energy you bring out into the world and the level of openness with which you approach new people. If you are willing to receive new friendships and new connections, there are a million lovely people out there with positive light and beautiful energy just willing to share it with you.

And among those million lovely people is one amazing woman who brings a light into the world that is brighter than most. Her name is Leti Callahan and she is the owner of Good Life Healing Arts & Gift Shop which just opened its doors on Saturday in the Franklin Building located in the Watertown, New York, Public Square. Leti is a military wife who just relocated to this area in the summer and she has wasted no time immersing herself in our little downtown community and we are so fortunate to have her. Her soft-spoken nature is welcoming and her sense of humor is contagious. After just a few minutes in conversation with her, you really just want to be her friend.

Meet Leti Callahan, Owner of Good Life Healing Arts & Gift Shop in Watertown, NY

Leti is a licensed massage therapist, but in her Healing Arts Shop she specializes in Crystal Healing, Shell Healing, Sound Healing, and Reiki. She is also a very talented artisan creating some of the most beautiful feather and leather jewelry I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot of jewelry in my days! When you enter her shop, you are met with the most calming of aromas, tranquilizing music, and a spirit in the air that makes your soul feel at home. I had only met Leti briefly once before at the consignment shop where we chatted for a few moments before I had to go. When I went to her opening day on Saturday, it was as if I had known her all my life. I didn’t take any pictures on Saturday as I was too busy talking and learning more about this most fascinating woman. But I was more than happy to venture downtown again on Monday to get some photos so I could share with you all this healing shop that literally can make you feel better just by walking through the door.

 

 

In addition to her healing arts and hand crafted jewelry, Leti also has on display a most intriguing Spiritual Portrait by Barbara Besser, a visionary artist and life coach located in New Mexico. If you are local to the Watertown, New York area, stop by and meet Leti and she will give you more details about her personal spiritual portrait. It is quite captivating. You can even commission to have your own portrait done.

I have not yet purchased any of Leti’s services, but I am planning to in the very near future! And my friend Denise just gifted me the most stunning pair of leather leaf earrings in olive green crafted by Leti. So I assure you that my new earrings will be making an appearance on the blog soon. And I will definitely let you know more about Leti’s Healing Arts services. I am so very excited to try some alternative methods of healing. Be sure to follow her on Facebook at Good Life Gift Shop and Instagram.

Remember, always remain open to new experiences and new friendships. Otherwise you may never know all the wonderful inspiring people who live right in our very own community.

And keep spreading kindness, my friends, A little bit goes a long way!
