Year of the Rabbit


Next week is the start of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rabbit.
According to the fortunetellers, this is no Easter Bunny. They are predicting terrorist attacks in the west, continued tension between China and the US, natural disasters around the world, and unstable global markets. The Year of the Rabbit will even put a strain on Brad and Angelina’s relationship.
In reality, not much will change in the headlines. The war on terror will continue to the point it’s hard to determine the true terrorist. We will deal with natural and man-made disasters the best we can. Global markets will still be controlled by Wall Street. And if Brad and Angelina can’t work it out. . .
I’m here for you, Brad!

Clutter



Ay-yi-yi! No wonder I can’t get any work done. I just read an article in Woman’s World how one clever woman weighed her clutter as she eliminated it. Over the course of a year, she got rid of 500 pounds. WOW!
You can see by these Before and After photos, I got rid of a few pounds.
We all have clutter in our lives, be it closets or stale relationships. Today, I’m starting with my desk and taking a hard look at my life. There are those boxes of cake pans in the basement. They have to go. I’m working on the extra 30 pounds on my mid-section. It’ll be a happy day when I toss my ‘fat clothes.’
Relationships are tougher. Can you recycle friends? No, I’m not tossing anyone out, but I’m going to get working on my closets.

Karma

Karma decrees future events are in our own hands. The earth spins on its circular path. What goes around will come around, time and again. Same old, same old. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
How about an experiment to tip that balance? Plant these simple Karmic seeds and see what results come back.
Be more productive now and reap the rewards in the future. Work a little overtime, get a bigger paycheck. Keep on top of household chores and have more free time on the weekend.
Live healthier. Exercise and eliminate toxic junk foods from your diet. Your body will thank you.
Stay positive. Don’t live in the past. Focus on changing the present to prepare for a brighter future.
Be kinder. Pleases, thank-yous, and smiles cost nothing, but when they come back, you’ll feel like a million dollars.
