This week @LadiesofHive - Contest- Ladies of Hive Community Contest #132 brings these 2 questions.
1️⃣ Material things are not the most valuable thing in life, however, there are material things that bring joy to our days. Show us something unnecessary but makes you happy — it can be a simple toy or even a cup with a design that you love, and please tell us the story behind that object.

2️⃣ We are not always surrounded by people who share our same tastes or interests. Tell us what was the last movie, series, documentary or book that you have seen or read that you want to talk to someone about but have not had the opportunity.

Let me answer about the material things first. Yes, I do have a couple of material things which mean a lot to me. The one that I am most fond of is my Crystal Cup made of Amethyst Crystal. Since I have been in to Crystal Healing I have a strong attachment to Crystals and Amethyst is one of my most favorite ones. This Cup was gifted to me by a friend who deals in to Crystals. I had done some things for him and in return he gifted me this set of Cup and Saucer. I was so super excited when I had received it.

I do not use it on regular basis since I do not want to spoil it. It's delicate, not as much as glass one but it needs to be handled with care. Nothing very hot can be poured in it else over a period of time there will be stains forming on it and also too much soap washing needs to be avoided. I normally use it for water drinking and most of the time, I just like to have it around me. Amethyst is a powerful healing crystal and personally for me it works the best. I also wear a Amethyst bracelet all the time.

Here is my Cup and Saucer set

Coming to the 2nd question - For some of you who know me a little would by now know that I enjoy reading books and have a huge library at my home. More than me, my Son is an avid reader and most of the library collection is his. Majority of the books are on subjects of metaphysical, spiritual, diet related and history of different regions. The last book that I read is "Cracks in the Great Wall".

This book is about UFOs and its metaphysical association. The findings of the UFOs, and its relation between the material plane and the world of subtle realities. It talks about the world that these UFOs come from and their intentions and agendas of coming into our plane. It also talks about the experiences of alien abductions.
The book did not live up to my expectations as there was too much repetition. Not only that, it kind of mixed up too many things in too short a content, which would leave a reader confused. There was some religious aspect and the new age spiritual movement also added to it. Probably it was all needed but it did not give a clear picture and I found it some what confusing. Also, I felt that the author at many places left his own personal judgements rather than facts.

It's ok, not everything we read we need to consume. Sometimes it also makes us look at things in a different perspective. Some of the content was relatable and some was not, but I finished reading it. As of now I do not have the book with me, so I will not be able to share the picture of it.
