In the KNOW!


Diann Schindler served over 25 years in higher education, first as an instructor of writing and ultimately college president. When she retired, she dabbled in tennis, music, and writing. Yet, her dream was to travel and write books. In 2015, her fantasy was realized. She sold her house, her car, and all her possessions, save her tennis racket and Taylor guitar, and began her odyssey in Portugal. Four years later, Diann had explored 46 countries. With the world as her muse, this solo nomad wrote her first novel, “Just A Girl,” ranked “sixth best coming-of-age fiction in 2107” by Amazon. Her friends, in American and abroad, urged her to write her nonfiction book, “The Essential Guide to a Life of Travel: the ABC’s International Travel.”  Her third book “Claim Denied”, an electrifying international cyber-espionage thriller, emerged from her experiences as a writing consultant at the American University in Kosovo. The sequel, “What Lies Beneath the Willow,” a mystery thriller, is set on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. (All of her books are available on Amazon, worldwide.) She is a lifelong learner and as a result of studying the craft of writing for years, Diann has taken on an editor role, from copy editing to developmental editing, creating a new website (see below) and her “Craft of Writing” YouTube Channel. Diann's podcasts are fun, informative, and lively, focusing on her travels, writing tips, personal experiences, challenges, and reflections. She lives in Lisbon, Portugal. You can reach her through her the variety of contact information listed below. She would love to hear from you! Thank you for listening.

Singing Bowls have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes.  It's said that the sounds generated by these bowls can  promote healing, reduce stress, create calm, and address dis-easeSinging Bowls.

  What an interesting concept.  I'm new     to this, obviously, but totally captured!

  I bought 2 singing bowls during my         visit to Myanmar and have been       mesmerized with their sounds.

This podcast focuses on what I have learned about my bowls, how I use them to ground myself as I begin my meditation, as well as the ringing connection to musical keys and to our chakras.

Of course, this is only my beginning of a deeper understanding of this ancient philosophy and practice.  

I reference a blog in this podcast.  The title: The Good News, The Bad News, A Chiang Mai Day. You can access the blog here.

Please write to me @ Diann@DiannAbroad.com.  Also, please comment and review this podcast.  Tell me about your experiences with singing bowls.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Also, please forward! 

Thank you so much for listening.
