Black Water Dragon...

According to Chinese Calendar, this upcoming year is the year of a Black Water Dragon.

Although black and water, chinese wisdom teaches to great this year as festive as it gets, though preferably within your family circle. Put golden tinsel , decorate with magic and imagination ( Dragon is a mythical creature after all) ,  and align the thoughts on the wavelengh of kindness and love.

It is said that this year is a karmic one, and all the good put out from one's heart will come back triple, and the world will become a better place. I'm game, and hope you are too!

Stay tuned for more on what to wear to welcome the Black Water Dragon in tomorrow!

My Friday...

Friday is here! I'm very excited simply because the weekend is here, and I get to decorate for christmas ( yes, I do not honor the thanksgiving decor , although I am very thankful) and all the Christmas villages are starting opening up again.

I am thrilled with the weather being not too cold, but just right for that Perfect Cup of Coffee, a cozy blanket and a good book or an old movie. My fav this year is " christmas in Connecticut" and I am always on the lookout for more.
