Character

Character really does count. The reason is simple: With character and integrity, you´re going to do the right thing. And when you do the right thing, you have no guilt or regrets. With integrity you have nothing to fear because you have nothing to hide. Think about it for a moment. When you have taken both guilt and fear off your back, your are free to be the very best you can be, do the most you can do and have more of the good things that life has to offer.
- Zig Ziglar

Water

Drink plenty of water and natural juices, even if you don´t feel thirsty. Alcohol and caffeine won´t do the trick; they dehydrate body tissue.

Mornings.

Wake up each morning and do an internal check up. Before you jump out of bed and start running around, take a few moments to be with yourself and check-in with how you are feeling, what you are thinking, and where you are going.

Plants

Remember that you can never too many plants. Plants (real or silk) add good Chi to any life station.

Fans

Fans disperse energy. We recommend using the fans only when necessary. Fans will get the energy moving in the store and move your customers right out the front door. Also, if a blade of the fan points in the direction of the door when it is off, it will send the Chi of the store out the front door.

Feng Shui Defined

Feng Shui translated, means "the way of wind & water" or "the natural
forces of the universe." These forces affect everything in our world. The ancient Chinese believed in and lived their lives by these natural forces. The Europeans call this science geomancy. The Hawaiians and the
Native Americans practice their own form of this science.

You can search throughout the entire universe for
someone who is more deserving of your love and
affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. you yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

You are more than a mom. Don´t lose yourself in motherhood. Remember what you liked to do before becoming a mom and take time to do it. Schedule "me time".

Inner Power

I believe there is an inner power that makes winners or losers, and
the winners are the ones who really listen to the truths of their
hearts.

5 a day

Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of vitamins and minerals and may help fight disease. How is your intake?

This week is 5-A-Day week -- a very good time to evaluate how many servings of fruits and vegetables you consume each day. The 5-A-Day program was established to encourage Americans to improve eating habits to reduce the risk of disease.

Get your 5-A-Day by adding fruits and vegetables to salads, soups or casseroles. On sandwiches, try lettuce, pepper, tomato slices or even sliced eggplant in place of cheese. Eating fruit for snacks or in cereals can make it easy to obtain the servings you need.

Upset? Write a letter to a friend and express all your feelings. Don´t worry. You don´t have to send it. Just writing gets those feelings out.

A long drive can help you clear your head and relax. Wheel on!

First Period

A girl´s first menstruation is called menarche. This is pronounced MEN-arc or MEN-arc-y. When a girl passes certain milestones in her development, but does not start having periods, this is called Primary Amenorrhea. This is pronounced A-men-or-rea or Ah-men-or-rea. The word primary is the part that means the girl has never had a period. The amenorrhea part means lack (a is Latin for none) of periods (menorrhea is Latin for "monthly flow"). This is to distinguish it from Secondary Amenorrhea, which is when a woman has had periods and then stops.

Be Honest.

Be honest with others about your needs and boundries. Once you know what you need, let others know. Don´t mix your messages. If you remain silent, there´s a chance of disappointing yourself and others more than the truth ever could.

Cool Down

Have a place to cool down, whether at home, a local library or shopping mall, or an emergency government cooling center. Your body needs that cool break.

Leave the City of Your Comfort.

"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can´t get there by bus, only by hard work, risking, and by not quite knowing what you´re doing. What you´ll discover will be wonderful -- yourself."
- Alan Alda

Weight and Periods

If you gained a few pounds lately and noticed your cycle has changed, call your doctor to see if there is any hormonal problem.

Stairs

Stairways can be a very hazardous element. When walking down stairs, the electromagnetic field of a person moves out in front of the body, causing falls. This can be cured by placing a plant on either side of the stairs at the end.

Have hair-raising sex

There´s a reason she likes it when you notice her new haircut: Hair is one of the ways women express their sexuality. Here´s how to help:
-When you kiss her, brush the hair away from her face or run your fingers through it. "It´s one of the most forgotten erogenous zones, which is a shame," says Lonnie Barbach, Ph.D., author of 50 Ways to Please Your Lover.
-And as you rub her back, spend some time on her scalp. Treat it as if you were washing her hair-use your fingertips to make firm circular movements on her head and neck.
-If she has long hair, encourage her to take the top and drape and brush it across your face and body during sex. Return the favor later. Use your shorter hair on her inner thighs to leave her tingling.
-As your arousal increases, rub her head, stroke her hair, or even pull it gently — or emphatically — depending on what she likes.

Stations

Feng Shui uses the Ba-qua (eight-sided) shape that relates to the eight stations of life: prosperity, relationships, helpful people, new knowledge, family, children, fame and career. If you practice Feng Shui, the world can be your oyster.

Cutting Edges

Cutting edges from display cabinets, columns, and protruding corners will cut and drain the energy of your employees and customers. In Diagram 2 notice how the energy of corner Cl directly intersects the position of the cash register, cutting the energy of both the employee makings the sale and the customer. The energy from corners C2 and C3 directly cut energy of everyone walking in the front door of the store. This cuts and drains energy of valued customers. The energies from C4 and C5 are cutting the fields of the customers as they shop. These are just a few examples of cutting edges in the store. Ideally every protruding corn should be cured." This includes corners from walls, cabinets, and columns. The more corners you treat, the more desirable the energy will be in the store. The "cures" are again very simple. Get out those red dots and place them on the corners. They need not be visible; you can place them near the floor or under a shelf covering or product.

Destiny

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
-William Jennings Bryan

The Creator

"Man drives, but the Creator holds the reigns."
-- Jewish saying

food in summer

Eat small amounts of food and cut back on proteins that can increase metabolic heat.

Class

Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It´s the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
-- Ann Landers
