Charissa is wishing for a moon-shaped crystal shelf to help her create a peaceful, grounding space in the new home she’s moving into this December. This meaningful piece would give her a place to display crystals, trinkets, and photos that remind her of her growth, resilience, and identity. Having a special corner dedicated to intention and healing is something she never had growing up, and this shelf would symbolize the safe, stable life she is continuing to build for herself.
