I did a post looking for my long, lost pen pal slightly over 2 years ago. I managed to find her picture last month when I went home for a short holiday, posted her picture in that post and today I received the news I've been waiting for. Totally unexpected though it may be.
Julie (Wigington) Kreifels left me a comment in that particular post! Woohoo! It's a surreal feeling to finally get a response from her after all these years. We lost contact sometime in 1991 if I'm not mistaken. I am simply overjoyed!! Now, I am just waiting for her to email me, we have loads of thing to catch up on.
To Julie's cousin, thank you so much for discovering my blog. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. The world isn't as big as it seems after all. I'm really so happy that I feel like singing out loud with my Crystal Singing Bowl!
Wait... first of all, do you know what a singing bowl is?? It's not a really a bowl that sing songs or anything. It's actually a pretty unique bowl that creates a soothing harmonizing like hum with pure fused Quartz Crystal that's perfect for meditation and has even been known to have some form of healing properties. If you're interested you can find these bowls at Silver Sky Imports.
They boast of some of the finest singing bowls in the west (gee, that sounds like something from a Western movie ) and feature a wide range of other unique items from Nepal and Tibet which includes the stunning ethnic sterling silver jewelry, hand carved wood masks, Tibetan prayer flags and herbal incense, Tingsha medication chimes, gong symbols, bells and dorjes and lots more unique handicraft items at wholesale prices.
With their next day shipping to anywhere in the world policy, I'm tempted to order two or three items to help me meditate away these hot blazing days! Yes, yes, the weather is driving me insane. Oh and by the way, Anny, I'm still trying to figure out when I did that rain dance la .
Eeeh! I'm excited as well coz I know you have been pen pals for quite a long time. The world is small indeed well with internet that is!
