Remember, that healing is a part of the spiraling cycles of grief, and that in letting yourself feel restored again, you are surrendering to a natural movement that is part of the dance of life ~ Madyson Taylor
As mentioned in my previous Blog, in May 2013, I attended
Be
the Change Symposium in Langley, BC. I was fortunate to be introduced
to numerous people who I shared Shayla’s tragic story with. I also focused on
my desire to pick up the pieces of my life and spoke of The Heart
Pebble Movement.
The following post contains the email from Jennifer and
Gail Trayler who were kind to let me know of their pebble release experience.
It is interesting to note they chose a piece of
Fluorite to be placed in the ocean. Fluorite is the Birthstone of those
born in the Month of February. Shayla’s birthday was February 24th.
It is also a good stone for those born in the zodiac sign of Pisces, which my
daughter was. Fluorite is a balancing and healing stone. The rainbow, glowing
shifts of color and light are reminiscent of the wings of a dragonfly or
faerie. In Celtic Tradition and lore, very often the Faire Folk would whisk a
person away to play, dance, tell stories and run a merry chase.
When my daughter was a little girl, she adored my many
stories about fairies and their magical land. It was only after her passing, I
found out her name having a connection to them..."from the Fairy Palace."
I want to extend my heart-felt gratitude to both Jennifer
and Gail for taking part in the movement that continues to spread the love of
my daughter through the ripples…

To Shayla’s Mom,
My Mom and I had the
pleasure of meeting you at the “Be The Change” symposium. We were behind you in
line at the book signing and you shared the heart wrenching story about the
loss of your beautiful daughter Shayla.
I think it is
beautiful and brave of you to have the strength to tell her stories and keep
her spirit alive. The beauty that is Shayla not only lives in the hearts of
those that knew her. Through your stories and movement of the ripple effect her
spirit has touched the lives and the hearts of people who never had the
pleasure of knowing her.
One Sunday in May, I walked
into Whitby’s Coffee Shop at White Rock beach for what I thought was to get a
coffee but was side tracked and walked into the book store section of the cafe.
When I saw the stones and gems I realized I was actually there to pick a stone
to Shayla. After carefully looking at each stone I picked a beautiful green
piece of Fluorite. I loved the message of heaven and earth being a mirror image
of each other. I left with a beautiful stone for Shayla and completely forgot
about my quest for a coffee.
With Love,
Jennifer & Gail
Looking out towards
the pier at White Rock beach were we tossed the stone.
...where the stone landed.
Anytime you visit
White Rock beach know that a stone for Shayla is sitting to the left hand side
of the pier.
