A NEW DAY in the New Year......
Once again I’m posting my iVillage tip on this post today because I am trying, furiously, to crank out January Shuistrology while also getting ready to host the annual Whitehurst New Year gala at Casa Shui tonight. The theme is gold and black this year symbolizing letting the darkness of the last few years go while embracing the return of the light (the one at the end of that proverbial...
HAPPY New Year (virtually gauranteed...literally!)
LUCKY YOU IN THE HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s wishing you a New Year just absolutely overflowing with all kinds of fabulous fortune and luck! And, well, Lucky YOU because now you’ll know just how! It all starts with a resolution revolution! I know, I know, we’re all going to lose weight and exercise more regularly. We’re going to eat healthier as well as improve our relationships, our...
Countdown to 2011....
I’m so cheating today by pasting in one of my iVillage tips, so, apologies to all those who have already read this, but, I submitted an article to HuffPo about how to welcome BIG fortune and lots of luck in the New Year and am still waiting to hear if they’re going to pub it. If they do, I’ll link from here and if they don’t I’ll just offer here as well! Just in...
And this is why I LOVE living in a small town...
Was supposed to be meeting Deb tonight for a few holiday beverages but then the weather precluded. Neither one of us wants to be on the ice after dark so that sort of shuffled some other plans I had. See, Grayson ran out of his acne meds over the weekend, and, well, since we’re halfway through his six month stint and since I’m spending close to a grand a month on this whole agenda...
My Holiday WISH for YOU!
If I have more time tomorrow I’ll go ahead and tell you all about our best Christmas ever! But, first, just have to apologize for that Panettone french toast recipe. I actually made it, finally, for all my boys yesterday and we found out that it turns out much better if once you dip it in the custard mixture and then put it in the buttered saute pan you THEN bake it off a bit. The big...
Happy, Merry, Peace, Love, JOY!!!!

Eating one a day just might keep the doctor away, but eating one today will bring beautiful energies of peace, prosperity and love all throughout this next New Year! Tradition tells that eating an apple anytime after the sun sets on Christmas Eve will stem any ill will or luck that you’ve been suffering while replacing that with a big bite of Health, Happiness and Prosperity; the...
Until We Meet Again, In Memory of John Lacey
Today, we pray, collectively for the soul of John Lacey, 19 year old son of Bob Lacey (Bob and Sheri radio) who lost his life earlier this sacred week. We pray to Archangel Yehudia an envoy for those making the change of death. Yehudia ushers the souls of those who have passed to their home in Heaven. He is a tender and loving guide who helps those souls make their transition with ease and...
The Scents that Soothe at Holiday time....
That’s it, I’m done with my last client consult of this year and almost done with my next steps for all unfolding projects so, it’s time to get in the holiday spirit! Oh…wait…is that Christmas that’s coming THIS Saturday? Uh oh.
The scents that soothe at holiday time:
Cinnamon…This scent is considered a male aphrodisiac, so, clearly, a great stocking...
The Light of Your Life...
Happy Winter Solstice! The return of THE Light. Rebirth and Wise Men. Or, in this case, Wise Words. Because here’s what I’ve done this morning and am sharing with you now in the case that you might like to take advantage of some ancient and powerful mantras to make your life the purely bliss-FULL place it was always meant to be. Besides, I got nothin…except that my 15 year...
Welcome Winter!
Tomorrow’s Solstice marks the longest night of the year before the ‘Return of the Light.’ Actually, what this means is that winter is passing the days now, inch by inch, start to get a bit longer and a bit warmer. I know, I know, not so much out there in the Midwest, but, I’m just the messenger here, so, don’t shoot okay? This is the day / night that you should...
So just a little bit more detail regards that magical golden key that somehow showed up in my life these last few days. But, first, I wasn’t surprised that Stephen was eliminated off Top Chef last night but I sure was sad to see Dale go. Now, that said, as long as Tre is still dreamily hanging around, well, sigh.
And Andy Cohen’s after show last night with Amy Sedaris was fall out...
Hook, Line and....
I came in from my attorney’s office today and our pet beta who hangs out at my front door had died. Just like that! No warning, no nothing. Just sunk to the bottom of his bowl and left for other waters unknown.
The reason I say that this fish was a pet is because, and I so swear this is true, he would come when called and would sort of ‘wag’ his fins when he would see us...
It's Always All About Choices..I Choose Fresh...
A wild weekend to be sure capped off by the most wonderful brunch with Lisa and then home to trim the tree and watch the Jets polish off Miami. Neither of which happened. Well the big girl brunch did, but the other two things, yeah, not so much. And I’ll not give one more minute of my life to the Jets so let’s talk about my untrimmed tree. Nothing much there either other than the...
Doodling for dollars......
Oh my Little Valentine just finished changing out all the old lightbulbs and hanging the things that needed to be hung and he got the screen back in Grayson’s window and….and….and….I actually had NO idea how much ‘stuff’ needed to be addressed around here until Val started going room to room and, well, since he was already here and had a drill in his hand AND...
PEACE and the Pecking Order Around my House...
Some of you who share our Facebook community know that I posted a comment last night in regards to my son slamming the refrigerator door behind me while I was cleaning up from dinner. He was still simmering over something that I’d, ahem, addressed with him earlier in the evening. So, he came into the kitchen and took a water bottle from the fridge and slammed the door. Then, as he...
BELIEVE!
Day Three of our Master Manifesting Plan commences NOW. But, first, let’s just recap the first couple of days exercises. Two days ago I asked for all of us to make a decision about something we wanted in our lives. For me, that was to sell my second book by first getting some POSITIVE feedback from my literary agent (who has had the manuscript/proposal for a few/three weeks now without...
Oh Mark Sanchez, you can come and cry on my shoulder anytime, but, you’re probably going to have to give me a few days to get over your total melt-down last night. OMG, that’s all I can say, OMG. 45 to THREE! Okay, okay, I have to go here now I guess, GO GIANTS. Okay, that’s enough football for today since there’s BUSINESS to be done! No, really, TODAY is the THE day...
Amen brother, Amen!
Oh there are synergistic energies afoot around here to be sure. First, let’s just back track a bit. See, honest to goodness, for the last three weeks I really have been in a self-induced quarantine researching and writing and writing and researching. I did give myself a reprieve for a few hours on Thanksgiving when I went out to collect Old Pa and bring him back here for turkey and...
I’m baaaaaaaaaack. Well, kinda. I’m out of the cave I was cloistered in since I started to write those yearly reports (and THANKS much to all of you who have decided to make your lives AND this planet so much more wonderful by making your next New Year that way too!) and now I’m trying to play catch up all over the place. SOOOO how lucky am I that Kathy Rose dropped by to...
