June 2009 JourneyNotes
From Jean......at Journeys
"It is when ordinary people rise above the expectations and seize the opportunity that milestones truly are reached."
Little did I know in June of 1989 that Journeys of Life would survive and thrive for 20 years! From our humble beginnings of that second floor walk-up that so many of you remember to our present location on Bellefonte, the journey has been possible because of all the extraordinary people who helped this ordinary woman rise above all the obstacles that have occurred over the years. The vast majority of new small businesses fail within the first two years. Together we grew beyond that statistic and reached this amazing milestone.
We have certainly been through a lot of milestones together. I have watched your children grow along with mine. I have mourned the passing of some customers. Customers married and others divorced. I have welcomed a second generation of customers to Journeys which really makes me feel old! I have experienced businesses on the street close and watched new stores open. And we survived the opening of several big box bookstores. It is only because of the tremendous support of all of our loyal customers and the community at large that Journeys of Life is what it is today. Thank you for taking this journey with me. I am filled with gratitude.
Mark your calendar for our Anniversary Celebration June 20 & 21st and please stop by so I can personally thank you for helping us reach this milestone of 20 years in business.
Join the Celebration - Saturday & Sunday - June 20 & 21, 2009

June Signs and Symbols
Astrological Signs
Gemini - The Twins - May 22 - June 20
Cancer - The Crab - June 21 - July 22
Birthstone - Moonstone
Moonstone is the gem associated with the feminine because of its ability to enhance the intuitive side of the mind. Moonstone is the talisman for the inward journey, and meditation with it can take one deep into the self. Moonstone has long been valued in helping one move closer to the Great Mother. Moonstone has been used for centuries to connect with the energy and power of the moon. The moon plays a vital role in the health of the Earth Mother; the cycles of the moon have a strong effect on the beings who inhabit the Earth as well.
Flower: Rose
Long a symbol of love and passion, the rose is rich with history and meaning. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, presented a rose to Eros, and Cleopatra lured Mark Antony with a room knee-deep in rose petals. Though each color offers a distinct meaning – and the number of stems offers a singular message – this June birth flower signifies beauty and perfection.
