The Crazy Wisdom Community Journal • January through April 2022 • Page 98
Sarah Newland Crazy Wisdom Manager I started managing Crazy Wisdom in 1993. I was young, and didn’t really know much about what we offered, but I knew it was special. There was something about the place when I first walked in at age 19 that made me feel like I was home. Over the years, through births, deaths, divorce, and injury, the store has been my haven–a sanctuary for me, for my children, and my heart. I came back to work after my son was born, nursing him in a sling, and felt so grateful for this place, and the owners (Ruth and Bill) that offered me work over the years from a deeply human place. Since reopening during Covid, it has been the hardest 18 months of my time at the store, and I couldn’t have done it without my supportive and caring (and resilient!) co-workers, masked and serving customers day in and day out. Having Crazy Wisdom close will be a loss from which I’m not sure I’ll ever quite recover. I never wanted it to end, and I never thought it would! I grew up here, my daughter grew up here (and works here also), and the way I feel about this actual space— is like family. There have been hard moments, and hundreds of beautiful ones. I don’t even really know how to write about it. It’s been a true privilege over these 28 years to search for and purchase all the lovely statues, crystals, and sacred things that we hold, to build up our business, and to work in service to the wonderful, caring people in our holistic community. It’s been a true pleasure, and a gift.

Rather than utilizing so much energy resisting (for example, exercise, meditation, eating and/or drinking healthily), we utilize that liberated energy for creating, which puts us on a similar vibration as our Creator. We become empowered to join with G-D and become co-creative, proactive manifestors of our dreams, desires, and goals, open to miracles, and fulfilling our destinies. Monthly Course Rate
