Karen Kuk Nagle created Hands of Spirit in 1992 as a vehicle for expanding consciousnesses and bringing in more light to her clients through stones, crystals, minerals, and jewelry. Located in Boulder, Colorado, Karen’s husband Bruce joined full time in 2006. With his love for minerals, strong business acumen, photography background, and GIA certification in diamond grading, Bruce brings a lot to the table. Their daughter Mira joined full time in 2012 and runs Hands of Spirit’s Instagram Live events. She has a B.S. in Marketing from CU Business School, and received her Graduate Gemologist Degree from the Gemological Institute of America in 2014.
Minerals, gems, crystals, jewelry, and pendants make for great Christmas gifts. Why not spread some Christmas joy this holiday season through stones for family, friends, and loved ones? Also, they make for incredible stocking stuffers too! Mira does an impeccable job running Hand’s of Spirit’s Live Sale events. Smart, funny, witty, and engaging, she knows everything there is to know about her crystals and minerals; where they are from, their colors, healing properties, and how they can be used. She is an incredible linguist, answers all customer questions, and makes the live sale fun. It is a real experience. There will also be festive Christmas music playing in the background during the live sale.
They go live on their main page @handsofspirit on Instagram. We recommend checking out the rules and regulations before the live event at their website:

***4 Special Book Offerings written by Donald Samson & also available on www.donaldsamsonbooks.com ****
Each Live Sale Hands of Spirit gives back to small independent Rescues around the world. Every item claimed helps send a donation to a Featured Rescue. Their Holiday Sale features 2 Rescues: featuring @grayandsiblings located in the Philippines and @mellylovecats located in Indonesia. These rescues started in 2019, and 2016 respectively. Gray has 39 cats in her care, 7 of which have FIP (meds are very expensive for this.) Melly has over 50 animals in her care. Like most Rescues in other countries, they struggle for donations to help with food, vet bills, and medicine to help the animals in their sanctuaries and the ones they feed from the streets. As always, please give them a follow and some love on Instagram.

"Wedding Love" is Brant Buckley's newest acoustic ballad - a heartfelt, intimate song, featuring fingerstyle guitar, warm vocals, and a live string quartet. Written as a deeply personal gift for his cousin's wedding, Brant performed the song live during her ceremony at the Boulder Country Club in Colorado, where it became a defining emotional moment. Recorded in 432hz, a tuning that resonates deeply with the heart and soul, "Wedding Love" carries a calming, connective energy that listeners instantly feel. The song has received national attention, earning airplay on 34 radio stations across the U.S. and becoming Brant's debut entry on the Americana Music Association (AMA) charts. The song is ideal for wedding ceremonies, first dances, bridal showers, and romantic playlists. If you are an artist interested in covering this song, please contact Brant below.
In addition, Brant has over 16 years of experience teaching guitar to students aged 7-84. His lessons focus on real musical application, creativity, and personalized instruction. Specializing in Blues, Folk, Jazz, Pop, and Songwriting, Brant offers engaging online guitar lessons via Zoom for students at any skill level.
Brant is also the author of Chicago Blues History: Preserving The Past, a book dedicated to honoring the greatest Blues musicians. His work celebrates music, storytelling, and cultural heritage - the same passion that drives the creation of Xmas Pop-Up Bars.
