Finally, 2008 is OVER. Yay! I'm always up for a fresh start, and the beginning of a new year is the best time. The sun has begun its inspiring course toward longer days, the holiday debris has been swept up (mostly), we're enjoying our holiday gifts from loved ones, and now it's time to
get back to business! Here in Western Oregon and the Portland Area, we saw over 15 inches of snow over the holidays--the most in 40 years! Needless to say, we're not used to it! So, now that it's melted off, we can get out and dust off that cabin fever, and can actually walk outside again without slipping--and take the car out of 4-wheel drive.
Our local feng shui expert, Gwynne Warner, has some great ideas for "getting on with" 2009, and making it the best year ever in her article (see link below). So we've been cleaning, re-arranging and de-decorating! Make it shine for 2009! I especially like her suggestion, "INCREASE THE LIGHT in your environment. Dust all of your light bulbs and replace with higher wattage and new lamp-shades, if necessary. Wash your mirrors. Clean your windows. Welcome the energy of 2009 with open arms, great joy, beauty and festivity as you would a beloved friend and honored guest." Thank you, Gwynne!
Of course, it's back to
yoga again for us. I found a great resource for yoga classes and trainings in the Portland Area I've been inspired to share:
Yoga Calm for Children. Check it out. It's great!
Until next time...
In vibrant health,
