Twenty Ways To Enjoy The Remaining Four Weeks of Summer



It appears that summer is coming to a close. Schools are about to start.  Fall sports have begun preseason. College kids are heading back or starting out.

However  summer, sweet amazing summer, doesn't officially end until September 21st.

Four weeks remain to:

1. Hit the beach, a lake or a local swimming hole. If you wait until early September, (not Labor day weekend)  you will have the place to yourself.

2. Go see a sunrise. The days are getting shorter so you won't have to wake up as early.

3. Enjoy the amazing fresh produce from your garden or from a local farmer's market.

4. Be outside every chance you get. Make being outside a priority.

5. Visit gardens and/or spend more time in yours.

6. Hit the summer clearance racks and buy that summer outfit you longed for back in May.

7.  Replace that dried up planter you forgot to water. Plants are on clearance as well.

8. Do the fun summer activity you loved to do as a kid. You are still a kid at heart.

9. Play with sidewalk chalk.(Also on sale)

10, Take an evening walk.

11. Eat an ice cream cone.

12. Catch fireflies.

13. Pitch a tent and sleep out side.

14. Eat dinner out doors.

15. Play in the yard with your children.

16. Walk at lunch.

17. Lather up the sunscreen and lay in the sun.

18. Read a great book OUTSIDE.

19. Do a summer activity you always wanted to try.

20. Relax and enjoy each and every day Summer has to offer.

What will you do to enjoy these last four weeks of summer?

Watch On Wednesday; Life's Retests


Sometimes we don't learn the lesson the first time and the same issue shows up again and again.  I like  to think of them as retests and an opportunity to learn.

Enjoy!


When was the last time you had a retest?

A Hiatus

Hello friends,

Last week I posted this picture on my Instagram.


I gave myself a day. It was glorious.

I realized yesterday, that one day just wasn't going to do it.

Thus I will be on a one week hiatus from the interwebs.

I will be back on August 15th.

I invite you to take a break as well.

Give yourself a slice of summer.

Many Blessings,

Virginia

Feng Shui Friday: The Clutter Within




There are random piles in my office.
The dishes are not getting done.
Laundry is piling up.
Garden flowers are wilting in thirst.
Papers are overflowing.

I am off of my game.

I understand the negative effects that clutter can have on your psyche.

Yet

The clutter of my life is invading fast and furiously.

I could tackle it all.

But in a few days it would be back.

I know this because the outward clutter is a symbol of my inside clutter.

Yes outer order brings inner calm. However sometimes outer chaos means inner chaos.

The cure for that.

Time ALONE.

I took a day off and found my slice of heaven where tourists don't visit.

I cleaned my inner clutter.

I invite you to try it.

Give yourself time to relax.

Life will wait while you regroup.

And then you will be ready to tackle the outside clutter!

Many Blessings,

Virginia

Friday's Feng Shui: 12 Ways to Boost Your Abundance



One of the most asked Feng Shui questions applies to receiving more financial abundance.  The principls of Feng Shui offer some wonderful tools to open yourself up to more abundance in your life.

  1. Go to the Abundance are of your home (far left) and deep clean it. Make that area sparkle.
       2. You can read my post on enhancing the abundance gua here.

       3. Clean out your wallet and purse.

        4. Clean the far left corner of every room in your home.

      5. Make sure something that symbolizes abundance is in the abundance corner of every room.

     6. There are two super power rooms, the entryway and your bedroom. Enhance those two areas. You can read the post here.

     7. Set time aside each day to reduce your clutter. Even just 15 minutes a day will make a huge difference.                                           Only keep what you absolutely love.

     8. Be more generous. Nothing boosts a spirit more than generosity. Giving and receiving are the same energy.

     9. Watch your thoughts and your words. Try to change scarcity thinking to receiving thinking.

     10. Be grateful for what you already have.

     11. Make noticing abundance a habit. This time of year all you have to do is go outside and see everything in bloom.

     12. Most importantly,  remember : YOU ARE ABUNDANCE!


     

        

Watch on Wednesdays

I have tried something new!

Each Wednesday I will be posting a video.

I wanted to wait until I got better at it.

I wanted to wait until I understood every iota of the technology of it.

I wanted to wait until I invested in better video equipment.

Then I remembered.

When we wait for the then we never get to love now.

I loved making this video.

Enjoy!!



I think this will be my picture for the day.

Much love,
Virginia
