Well, May is nearly over and I haven't written much on my blog this month. I've had company twice, and just lots of other things happening, but I have been feeling lots of gratitude for all kinds of things. Over the weekend I had a great time getting to know an old email/phone/reading friend. We did the Portland touristy thing, but different. First, we went to Hughes Water Gardens in Tualatin. If you like water gardens this is a must go. You'll find beautiful grounds, with fountains, pools, plants, pots and just lots of beauty and peace. You can just walk around and look at the water lilies and other plants and have a great time. Then a movie< Railway Man--great movie. And yesterday, time at the Chinese Gardens. Peace, peace, peace. I'm grateful for all of these! What a wonderful weekend! So much to be grateful for.

I have been working on using feng shui in my house to increase my abundance. It's been an interesting process. I'm on chapter 4 which looks at the Li or Fame section of the bagua and a person's house. I have really struggled with this section. I realized that I have kept that section of my house messy and closed off thinking (at an unconscious level) that if I did that I wouldn't have to deal with that area of my life. How interesting. Using this "technique" has kept me from truly accepting abundance into my life. I was truly amazed and blown away when I realized this. I have lots to do to bring this area into any semblance of acceptance. Right now it's full of stacks of paper and books and junk that I'm embarrassed by. Part of me says "take a photo of this area and force myself to change it." But I'm not sure I can do that. Maybe what I'll do is take the photo and see how I feel once I have cleaned up the area. Maybe then I can put in before and after photos, but I'm not ready to commit to this yet. Wish me luck...
Well didn't get the photo taken, but did get a partially full debris can!
