Feng Shui anyone ?

I've been gradually working on making my work office a comfortable and productive place. As a result I decided to try Feng Shui....I am sure it's a lot like the horoscopes if you read them then you feel as if you have some insight on how you're day will be...well with Feng Shui if you apply it to your living or work space you'll feel the difference....better, energized, more efficient, etc....

The first rule in Feng Shui is to remove the clutter....that makes a world of difference. Then you decorate with pictures, plants, lighting, etc. to fulfill the symbols needed for a balanced(health, wisdom, knowledge and wealth) office; knowledge, ancestors, relaxation, motivation, family, friends and creativity.

So everyday for the past two weeks I've been slowly Feng Shuing my office. It's not done yet, but I feel a whole lot better about my workspace.

Responsible Shopper !!! ???

Are you a responsible shopper ? Are you aware of the social impact, corporate behavior and labor practices of your favorite stores and the investment practices of your financial companies ?

I wasn't and since I've learned I am not sure that I can commit or afford to change where I spend my money.

However, I thought it was interesting to learn about the issues of economic and social injustices of some stores....I am now a more informed shopper.

Check out this link to the responsible shopper to learn more about where you shop.

Here are a couple of online stores that are socially responsible. When you shop you also support.

World of Good
Red
Rainforest
Alonovo

In these tough financial times it's difficult to shop based only being socially responsible. I usually go for economic price tag first !!

Mr. President Obama - 1/20/2009

I've been listening to the inauguration coverage on NPR since 6am this morning at home and in the car.
Now I am at my desk listening to it online.... I really wish I was there !! Which is really surprising, because up until now, I couldn't imagine fighting the cold weather and those crowds...but now that I am hearing everything on the radio and TV, I would love to be there and experience this historic moment in person.

Since I am not, I am going to make the best of what I have...watch it at work, where there are designated TV's to view the actual inauguration, and listen to the coverage at my desk on NPR.

What are you doing today?

Holla Holla Holla !!

Jason and I enjoyed a night out on the town at the John Legend Concert ! Of course it was a Thursday night out on the town....but I'll take what I can get these days. In Phoenix, the best concerts happen on Weds or Thurs when the artist is on the way to or from California or Vegas. The concert was great....he walked in and on stage from the audience with images of him boxing flashing on stage. He opened with " I used to love you" and the crowd went crazy when he said "Holla Holla Holla"...the crowd was a cross-section of people from every race, ethnicity and age group. There were lovers, couples, familes and friends there enjoying the music. My favorite part was when he did some old Prince songs...."Adore" thrown in with "Purple Rain". It's Saturday afternoon two days later and I am still humming John Legend tunes.

Everything is Boinga !!

Now I know why I just love the BackYardigan Song "Everything is Boinga".....it's Alicia Keys !! Everytime I hear that song on Noggin...I just have to dance.

Click on the link above to enjoy the video.... !! The BackYardigans is my favorite Noggin show...They are always jammin...there was even an episode featuring Zydeco music...I could only find the music on this home video (click on the link to see) of a little girl running around getting dizzy and enjoying the music.

Well, Nia is feeling better and, if you haven't already guessed, watching the BackYardigans!

NFL or Oxford

Florida State Defensive back, Myron Rolle, had a decision to make and he chose Oxford over the NFL draft. I am very impressed with his decision.

What would you have done?
