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.

***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.
Brant Buckley, the creator of Xmas Pop-Up Bars, is a songwriter, guitarist, author and Berklee College of Music graduate.
"We Love Da Bears" is Brant Buckley's newest original release — an energetic Chicago Bears anthem inspired by the excitement, tradition, and passion of Bears football. Blending driving blues-rock guitars, crowd chants, and a classic 12-bar blues foundation with backward blues-inspired riffs, the song was written to capture the electric atmosphere of game day. Recorded in 432 Hz and engineered by Mickey Cushing at Mystery Street Recording in Chicago, "We Love Da Bears" is designed for tailgates, watch parties, sports bars, and every Bears fan ready to cheer on the Monsters of the Midway.
Already generating enthusiastic feedback from listeners, many have described the song as a true Bears anthem. Brant's goal is to have "We Love Da Bears" become part of the Chicago football tradition, played everywhere from neighborhood tailgates to Soldier Field. The song is available on YouTube and all major streaming platforms. If you're interested in featuring the song, please contact Brant below.
In addition, Brant has over 17 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.
If you'd like to connect about music, lessons, performances, or writing, Brant would love to hear from you.
