Thought of the Day

Thought of the day: I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door — or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present. – Joan Rivers

Tips to Feng Shui Your Holiday Party

This holiday, use Feng Shui to ensure a warm, happy and positive environment for you and your guests.

Following are simple tips from ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Andie Pearson, DMD:

* Clean and Clear: No matter what the occasion, the first step in Feng Shui is clearing clutter and cleaning the area.
* Analyze: After you have cleared, cleaned and organized the area where you will be entertaining, you need to decided on themes, purpose, how many people will be invited, who will be there, and what activities and foods
will you have. This should help you with the rest of your planning.
* Color It Warm: Plan the decorations with warm relaxing colors. Use goldenrod, earthy greens, tans, amber, deep rich reds or maroons etc. You want a color scheme that will be both relaxing and welcoming. Fall and Winter colors lend themselves to this very well.
* Traffic Flow – Create a good flow of traffic thru out. Ask yourself – Are you having an actual sit down event , buffet or cocktails with appetizers ?
o If you are having a formal dinner, have that room separate from the rest of the party, allowing the rest of the party area to be designated as the place for social gathering.
o For a buffet-style meal, have an area for the food and a section for drinks. You will also need to have seating scattered about in organized fashion that doesn’t block flow of traffic.
o A holiday party that is just snacks, appetizers and cocktails has a bit of free flow. You can arrange several areas for food and drinks scattered through out the room so that people can stroll from place to place and socialize.
* Minimalist – Decorations should be pleasing to the eye, but kept to a minimum. Overly large or overwhelming items or too much clutter can create an environment of anxiety. The stimulation will be too much and will make it
hard to relax into the party. Flower arrangements on the table or through out the room should be conservative and moderate to short. Anything big or tall will not allow for conversion across the table. Because people will be
visiting and talking, music would be very nice, but needs to be low and soft so that it doesn’t compete with everyone there.

If you stick to the basics of Feng Shui, your party will be a success. So remember, clear and clean, plan in detail, go low and conservative on decorations, and allow for good social flow patterns through out the party area.

Goal Setting Tool Box

Here is a thought provoking article on Goal Setting!

Setting New Year’s goals is something I’ve done for several years. Goals are plans for your life for the coming year. I too will be setting goals for this year. This New Year is extra special because we begin a new decade.
Did you know we had a “Blue Moon” on New Years Eve? A Blue Moon is a full moon on New Years Eve, which only happens once every nineteen years.

Here is an affirmation for the New Year. It is from The Master Key by Charles Hannel . He claims there is an affirmation that incorporates every single thing any human can want, and that this affirmation will bring about harmonious conditions to all things. He adds, “The reason for this is because the affirmation is in strict accordance with the Truth, and when Truth appears every form of error or discord must necessarily disappear.” The affirmation is this: “I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and happy.”

From The Language of Letting Go by Melodie Beatty –

The New Year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.

Dig within and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you’re interested in fully living life in the year to come.

Goals give us direction. They put a powerful force into play on a universal, conscious and subconscious level.

Goals give our life direction.

• What would you like to have happen in your life this year?

• What would you like to do, to accomplish?

• What good would you like to attract into your life?

• What particular areas of growth would you like to have happen to you?

• What blocks, or character defects would you like to have removed?

• What would you like to attain? Little things or big things?

• Where would you like to go?

• What would you like to happen in friendship and love?

• What would you like to have happen in your family life?

Remember, we aren’t controlling others with our goals—we are offering direction to our life.

• What problems would you like to see solved?

• What decisions would you like to make?

• What would you like to happen in your career?

• What would you like to see happen inside and around you?

Write it down. Take a piece of paper, a few hours of your time and write it all down—as an affirmation of you, your life and your ability to choose. Then let it go.

Certainly things happen that are out of our control. Sometimes, these events are pleasant surprises, sometimes they are of another nature. And they are all part of the chapter that will be this year in our life and will lead us forward in the story.
