we've been grateful to be shipping orders out to all parts of the country this past week:  kirkwood, MO, salado, TX, Montgomery, TX, mequon, WI, marlton, NJ and windsor, CO, and fort lauderdale, FL  just to name a few.  we love knowing that so many of you all across the country understand our concept, appreciate our presentation, and are drawn to give our gifts to others.

may your day today be full of gratitude and belief in the power that comes from gratitude.   

 for the past few weeks I've been recovering from a bike crash where I broke my clavicle and a few ribs and chipped my acromion (that's a shoulder to you and me).  it has all gone remarkably well, and I am back on my bike and able to do most everything again.  I now have a titanium plate holding my clavicle together, which has made eased the recovery and sped it up as well.  

I have learned many things in the course of my accident and subsequent recovery process, the most important being this:  I am surrounded by supportive, loving people who are kind, generous, thoughtful, and incredibly giving.  I believe that most of us rise to any occasion, and given the opportunity to shine, will shine brightly and indefinitely.

I am grateful for all the well-wishes, the help, the support, and the good vibes out there that have helped me through this experience, and I hope that you all are surrounded by as many deeply loving people as I am.

and if you are, and need a little bit of help expressing your gratitude, we have many items that will help you do so .  .  .  have fun looking!

our last orders have shipped out to massachusetts, texas, washington, wisconsin, oklahoma . . . little seeds of gratitude are being planted all over.  what we find is that when someone receives a blessings bowl, they discover a desire to give one to someone else.  it's like the infectious smile:  when we are appreciated we're more likely to give appreciation to others.

retailers:  our new catalog in on press and just about ready for distribution.  look for it in your mailboxes soon!

calling it “shipping” is obviously a holdover from a past era: we have never “shipped” an order to anyone here in the united states. we should say we’re “trucking” orders out to people, shouldn’t we?
so far this week, we’ve trucked orders out to Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut, and are thrilled to think that our sets are touching lives throughout the country.
we sell to a great store in Spring, Texas, called Maggies. we’ve been selling to them for over six years now, and they are a great group of people. Maggies placed their first order with us after one of their employees received a Blessings Bowl as a gift from a friend: this is our very best advertising, word of mouth.
thanks for all the good things you have to say about our products, we appreciate it!

frequently we hear from our retailers about the customers who purchase our sets. the other day we received a call from Original Souls in Ellicott City, Maryland, telling us of a customer who needed a gift for a friend who had just lost a child: she chose to give one of our Healing Bowls, complete with a glass heart touchstone, words of strength, and a repository for reminders of the special soul who is no longer here with us all.
though many of our gift sets are designed to celebrate joyful occasions, at the core of every set is a sense of gratitude and recognition of the power of our emotions. our sets help people to acknowledge transitions, unions, new life, love, milestones, and even the loss of life and challenging times. recognition of transitions and growth is a powerful gift.
we are honored to be included in these acknowledgments, and are deeply grateful to be touching lives across the nation as we are.

A beautiful bowl—polished aluminum, crackled glass, or hand-thrown stoneware—that holds written acknowledgment of the blessings in your life. The most meaningful gift you’ll ever receive, the Blessings Bowl is a gift of gratitude, a way to connect with our spirituality, a customized gift that celebrates life’s blessings.

What is in the Blessings Bowl® gift set?

Elegant paper and pen, rich ribbon and poetry, a handmade bowl, a distinguished box with ribbon closure, and the opportunity to touch someone else’s life. Instructions guide you gently through the process of creating your gift, and set you on the path of spreading gratitude and awareness of the richness of our interconnected lives.

How does it work?

The Blessings Bowl® set allows you, the gift-giver, to personalize a paper scroll describing how the recipient has somehow touched your life. Poetry encourages the recipient to add their own scrolls to the bowl, documenting ways they believe they are blessed. The end result: a beautiful bowl full of reminders of the richness of their life.
