I bought a small Ganesh in India almost 2 years ago. I bought it for our dream property in Costa Rica. Only we didn't have a property in Costa Rica yet. We had never even seen the property we sit on today. I brought it back to the states where it sat in a chest with other random things I'd collected for Costa Rica. The journey to getting this property had many obstacles. Ones that, at times, seemed insurmountable but alas we are here- living our dream. My little Ganesh
