Welcome to the General Store

A note from Hettie-Mae, Keeper of the Counters and Curator of Curious Things.


Well now, look who wandered in. Don’t worry, no rush here. Just take a moment, relax, make yourself at home, and have a look around.


You won’t find canned answers or shiny quick fixes in these parts. What I stock is slower, wiser tools to help you think, feel, and find your own way forward.


We’ve got decks full of voices, bundles full of meaning, and stories that know just when to speak. Whether you’re buyin’ for yourself, your coaching clients, or your whole team - you’re welcome here, same as everyone else.


And if somethin’ calls to you? Trust that. Around here, instinct tends to know before we do.


Now go ahead, browse a while.

The trail’s waiting.

The Way We Begin
On Sale

Added to cart

January usually demands reinvention. This doesn’t.

These resources are for people who are already in motion and want to continue with more care, not more pressure.


The First Agreements is a ledger-style reflection that helps you take stock of what you are already carrying:

  • What has earned its place and deserves to come with you
  • What is sound but unfinished, and worth building on
  • What you are ready to lay down, not because it failed, but because its cost has changed

Written in the voice of Alden Trueweather, Keeper of the Moral Ledger, it invites honest accounting rather than ambition.


Alongside it sits The Way We Begin.

A small card deck you consult when something feels off.

Not daily. Not predictive.

A way of returning to your agreements when the pace quickens, the weight shifts, or old habits reappear.


Together, they form a simple system:

The agreements set the terms.

The cards help you keep them.

No reset. No targets.

Just a steadier way to go on.


Please note this is a digital product (designed A6 size) and the bundle contains both PDF and PNG files for you to use digitally, or to print off.

Step into the haunted frontier of SageBrush Crossing with Spirits of 1871, a special Halloween edition from the world of 1871.


Inside you’ll find 20 gothic story cards:

Five Ghosts, five Haunted Places, five Cursed Objects, and five Omens. Each card carries a haunting vignette, a Spirit’s Whisper, and reflective coaching questions to help you turn shadow into insight.


Alongside the deck, you’ll receive 20 ghost tales: full-length stories drawn from the Crossing, each unsettling enough to stir the imagination yet crafted to show there is always light after dark. Each story is paired with dedicated journal-style pages, giving you space to pause, reflect, and capture the lessons hidden in the haunting.


Why this bundle is for you?

  • For atmosphere: Spirits of 1871 is the perfect blend of eerie and poetic, ideal for the Halloween season.
  • For reflection: each card and story doesn’t just unsettle, it guides you toward growth, resilience, and self-understanding.
  • For conversation: use them in groups, workshops, or at gatherings to spark deeper dialogue in a memorable way.


This is not a deck of despair. It is a lantern to carry through haunted places, a way to find meaning, guidance, and hope in the most unexpected corners.


Included in Premium Membership at no extra cost.

Conversations That Matter: Digital Coaching / Reflection Bundle

This bundle is for those moments when the words don’t quite land, when something’s been left unsaid and when you’re ready for more honest, human conversations.


Please note: All of our products are DIGITAL downloads and no physical items will be shipped.

Once purchased, you'll receive a downloadable ZIP folder containing everything you need. Be sure to extract the files after download.


Carefully curated from the world of 1871: A Time Before, this digital collection invites you to slow down, listen differently, and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface... whether in coaching, journaling, leadership, or team reflection.


Some truths are easier to avoid. But left unspoken, they don’t fade, they grow quieter, heavier, and harder to name. Smoke & Silence is a story-led toolkit for anyone seeking to reflect, repair, or speak honestly.

Whether you’re preparing for a tough dialogue, supporting a client, or unpacking a moment that still lingers, this bundle offers a steady companion through the fog of human connection.
