So I am a big Op Shop fan.

I love that I can buy excellent quality at a fraction of new prices, and that what I buy has a history.

I also like to know that something has been loved before it came to me and that it brings beautiful, new and fresh, Energy into my home.

However, there are a couple of things that I won't buy second hand.

Rings. 

Mostly because a ring has often been gifted, so if it is being on-sold, normally there has been a negative event which has preceeded this.

Like a divorce.

Or an affair.

And I super don't want that Energy in my life.

The other is shoes.

I absolutely, 100%, refuse to walk another persons path.

Obviously.  

But to be fair, my passion is leather jackets - and I have some bloody amazing ones.

I love the history that comes with one, and the knowledge that someone has done amazing things in it. 

Apart from this one jacket I bought recently.

It's over 40 years old, beautifully made, and in gorgeous condition.

But the Energy absolutely sucks.

I've worn it three times, looked amazing every time...and ended up feeling icky every single time.

The first time I thought is was just an off night.

The second time I recognized on a cellular level that the Energy was off, and today, the third time, well, it's currently sitting on my deck waiting to go to the Salvation Army Store tomorrow.

At first I thought the person who had it before me was a miserable, grumpy ol' bastard.

Mean and negative.

And that he hated the life that he had created.  Which is super weird because he most certainly had a wealth orientated lifestyle.

But then I realized that that wasn't true.

He absolutely, with a passion, hates the work I do.

And the more I wear the jacket, the more that Energy comes through.  

He is literally standing there stamping his feet going, Take it off!  Take it off!  Take it off!

I won't even let the jacket be inside my house now.

I blessed it when I originally got it, and I will bless it again, before I drop it down to go to it's new home tomorrow,

...and then hope like Hell the next person has better luck with it.

Kissy hugs
