Today we went on another biking adventure and ended up at Strand West. Strand West is on the harbor of Amsterdam where the city meets the sea. It’s part beach, part terrace, part restaurant. It is very Dutch in that laid back cool that can only be found in Holland. The terrace is spotted with bean bag chairs, oversized pillows, hammocks and mattresses. Sun kissed people are sprawled out in the arms of their lovers, reading on mattresses, or lounging with friends. It’s exactly the kind of place to spend a lazy summer Sunday (and better yet, void of the loud rowdy tourists that have invaded Amsterdam these last weeks).
This weekend’s Rond de Wereld theme is Japan and so Shan and I decide to have a Reiki healing session, complete with palm reading.
Summary of my reading:
1) I will have 2 big loves in my life; the second will be “life long” (sounds about right)
2) I will experience a series of changes in my life between the ages of 25-30. During these years I will live in many cities and have many different jobs (while explaining this, the timid Asian girl giving me the reading looks as though she has told me some awful news. She’s says “don’t worry you will settle down eventually” with a concerned look in her eye. I explain to her, that this doesn’t surprise me and is in fact good news...she looks surprised, but reassured).
3) The jewelry I am wearing is very powerful, but needs to be positively energized because it may have been caring negative energy (hmmm...odd, but interesting)
Shan is thrilled to hear she will have a baby girl in 3 years. We walk away satisfied with our readings; both secretly pleased most by the noted strength of our life lines...
