"June, moon, swoon. Geez, it just seems during these halcyon days like we can fly. And, today we should ... pretend to fly, that is! Stand with your feet together and your arms hanging at your sides. Inhale as you slowly raise your arms, being sure to keep a slight bend in your elbows and your wrists relaxed. Your arms shouldn't be either rigid or straight, but should be slightly rounded and held in a graceful dancer's position. Slowly lift your arms as high as your shoulders and then lower them just as slowly, exhaling as you go, allowing your arms to come all the way down against your sides. Repeat this exercise nine times in succession visualizing the wind lifting your arms and then actually elevating you as if you were a bird flying through the sky. This exercise lifts your mind and spirit while also loosening the muscles of your arms and shoulders. It also promotes and facilitates healthy breathing in your body. And, let's face it, it's fun! It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a healthy and happy you! A nice way to end a moon-ey, swoon-ey and genuinely nice month!"

"And they lived happily ever after! Any bride and groom can keep love blooming for years to come simply by enacting a yearly tradition on each anniversary. Mark each anniversary of the date of the nuptials with a romantic bouquet of fresh flowers. The trick here is to use the same sort of stems that comprised the actual bouquet itself. By using these buds you embrace a yearly tradition that will not only renew marital energies but will spark fresh and frisky passions. There's simply no better way to say that 'I Forever Do.'"

"On a day devoted to the energies surrounding a state of forgiveness, I'd like to share a way to forgive and forget without ever having to confront the offender in person. If old wounds are making it harder for you to move forward in your life than this would be the perfect day to realize that the pen really is mightier than the sword. Take a pen filled with red ink and write a letter to anyone who has harmed or wronged you in your life. Write everything you feel and whatever will offer you a release from this hostage situation. Don't worry about anyone actually seeing this letter because you're not mailing it. But write it as if you were standing in front of whoever hurt you, whether dead or alive. Purge, purge, purge, and then purge some more. When you are finished writing put it into a red envelope and place in anywhere inside the 'Family/Friends and Ancestors' area. Put a healthy and flowering green plant on top of it and leave it there for 27 days. On the 27th day, take the letter outside and burn it, envelope and all, allowing the smoke to blow your pain away. As soon as the letter is completely burned, state aloud nine consecutive times that you forgive (insert name here) and release any pain previously associated with this grievance. That's it, but, boy oh boy, is it ever enough!"

"Now this is Feng Shui sort of day advises that we celebrate the senses. See, in Feng Shui we say that anything that attracts or appeals to any of the senses also attracts energy. So we use things like essential oils or incenses to activate or trigger the sense of smell and music to appeal to our auditory sense. Beautiful and bright colors create an optimistic ocular connection while preparing foods with love and humor lend to their taste and to the positive and nutritious effects they have on the body. Touch your environment today and harness some excellent energies by burning some sweet smelling incense while also bringing a bright color into your living arena.

"Today is really and truly called National Columnists Day. I could just give myself the day off and let you talk amongst yourselves, but that wouldn't be fair to those of you who do also write for a living. So, let's do a little publishing Feng Shui before we call it a day, okay? If you're a writer and looking to get your work published than it's time to reflect on the Feng Shui publishing gold standard that calls for a sun shaped mirror to be positioned somewhere inside the Fame area of home or office. Affixing that mirror (or any symbol of the sun) inside that same space on your main floor or office promises to heat up your recognition factor while also raising your profile, especially to the people who can be the most influential in the book related business. Hanging a sun here will also bring you bright prospects and a boost of creativity! Now, that's hot! And soon whatever offerings you pen will be too!"

"Here Comes the Bride, all dressed in ... red or pink if you want to create a fiery atmosphere of flirtation and lots of lots of playful, joyful love. Or here comes that bride, wearing orange if she wants to encourage a lifetime of warm communications with her love, especially if this is her second wedding. The bride can wear yellow if she wants to brighten and bring lighter energies to this occasion. In fact, pale yellows and ecru are the couture color du jour to wear for any winter wedding, while a green gown speaks to more than just being environmentally aware, or even Irish. Wearing a dress of green on your wedding day is an auspicious choice for a young bride as this color symbolizes optimism as well as an eagerness to expand the couple into a family. Blue can be more than a companion to be borrowed on this day. A gown of this hue is simply heavenly as it encourages cool heads and calm hearts. It's the perfect color to wear if children are integral to the ceremony. And then, there's purple to inspire passion and influence social success. Formal settings can be quite complimented by a gown of violet. And, of course, there's always the traditional white, a color that embraces all others on the spectrum. No matter what color she wears, the bride is always beautiful and blessed. Ahhhh ... men!"
