Traditionally, the month of May celebrates the new season (Spring). Temperatures begin to warm up, flowers and trees are blossoming, and everyone feels energized. In ancient times, people were dancing and singing in the streets, spreading love, cheer, and positive energy.
Many believed for centuries that wearing an emerald brought positive luck and hope, making the emerald the perfect birthstone for May and perfect gemstone for all of us. Over the years, the emerald has become notorious for having flaws, making the “perfect” specimens more rare and valuable. Carat for carat, an emerald is more valuable than a diamond.
Sometimes we are like emeralds: strong but brittle and constantly trying to cover-up or wipe away our flaws. Instead, let’s embrace our rarity and imperfections. Spreading positivity and encouraging others to achieve their goals and heart’s desires.
“You attract the energy that you give off. Spread good vibes. Think positively. Enjoy life.” - Unknown
