Hi guys and hope you're all doing well. The Heart is still physically closed thanks to the lock down - but emotionally spiritually and On Line still very much open !
One thing about this second lock down is it gives me time for introspection.
For the first month for example, I became obsessed with classical piano performances on you tube. And I didn't do so lightly. Over 4 nights I listened to 5 performances of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto to decide who was my favourite pianist ! Hélène Grimaud won that competition, but Yuja Wang won the rest.
Well, that obsession has relaxed now, but it do...
Hi Guys and hope you're all doing well ! I guess the Title gives my mood away ~ I've just been listening to Chairman Dan's Map out of Lock Down. What a depressing document ! Crystal Heart will have to remain closed until October 28th and only open then if new cases have fallen to 5 per day for the previous two weeks. But hey, he has a supercomputer programmed by the University of Melbourne to tell him what to do, bless him. I got an honours degree in Computers and Cybernetics back in 1979 and one thing I learned about computers. If you put garbage in you get garbage out.
But Hey, it's a lov...
Hi everyone and hope you're all surviving well. I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU ! to all of you who have supported us through our website and given us an amazing record month there. The lock down in Melbourne was really a massive blow for us, but thanks to you we're able to survive.
We've stayed positive throughout, though that's been difficult sometimes lol.
Crystal Heart was conceived as a bubble of higher consciousness on the High St. and we will to continue to be that, but I'm so deeply grateful that with your support we've expanded that bubble to the internet !
As you may have...
Hi Guys and hope you're all feeling well. We at the Heart are still reeling at the most severe lock down measures yet. Flu kills 900 Australians a year. Currently that figure is down to 36 ! Coronavirus has so far killed 250. Is this worth the cost to our economy, the restriction of our liberty, and all the collateral damage ?
I leave that for you to decide !
Anyway, what doesn't defeat you makes you stronger and this is equally an opportunity for us all to step back, look inwards and evolve.
To help our customers as much as possible we've already made free postage for orders of only $30 an...
Hi everyone and hope you're all enjoying your lives, just as life at the Heart continues.
We can't close our doors. We continue to stay open, albeit on limited hours, during this second lock down - and continue to be incredibly grateful for all the positive feedback we've received both in store and here on the website. It's both humbling and gratifying. Thank you all.
Like you, I'm shocked at what's going on out there in the World ! It seems this virus has sparked a world wide catharsis of frustrated feelings and they're just spilling out everywhere.
It's never been more important to remai...
Hi Everyone and hope you're all staying safe, keeping well, and hopefully having some fun !
Here at the Heart we've adjusted to a comfortable new level. Still half hours and half staff but sales are picking up and we're getting so much positive feedback from customers that find us still open. After all, we are an essential service !
Some help from the Government finally came through, so I was able to clear some accounts and start ordering again. New uploads will continue !!!!
We're pretty lucky here in Australia. It has been a heavy blow in so many ways but we closed borders in time and so ...
