World Water Day
Monday, March 22nd is World Water Day. Here are simple ways for you to honor this global movement and show appreciation for our water planet:
Visualize – Whatever body of water you are close to – Lake Michigan, Lake Washington, New Smyrna Beach, the Willamette River or Tryon Creek – stand at a viewpoint and give thanks. Visualize your love and gratitude as a beam of light flowing from your heart to the water. See the beam become millions of stars of crystal light. The light fills the water and every living thing in it with healing energy. This energy is unlimited and without boundaries. It connects with every water source on Earth. End this blessing with the simple words “Water, I send you love and gratitude. All is well in our world.”
If you are unable to visit a place of water – no problem. You can create your own lake by filling a glass with tap water. Add a little sea salt to represent cleansing. Do the same exercise as above and when you are finished, take the glass outside and pour the water into the ground. Visualize it seeping deep into the earth connecting with the world. Another option is to place a photo of water in front of you and use the same visualization exercise as described above.

Party with a Clear Purpose
My friend, Donna Coe, threw a fabulous downsizing party at her home on Super Bowl Sunday. She raised over $1200 for her two favorite charities, the Cheetah Conversation Fund and the Oregon Humane Society. Friends and family shopped for bargains while sipping on wine and enjoying yummy treats from the kitchen. Items were neatly displayed throughout the first floor and included everything from collectibles and crystal to posters and picture frames. It was a perfect example of the kind of effort ACP encourages – a fun way to clean up, clear out and share more. If you are not the super event hostess that Donna is, ACP can help you organize and host your own “Clear Place Party” right down to the invitations and pricing your stuff. You get the benefit of a lighter, clearer space and extra cash (to donate or pay some bills) and your guests have a chance to get something they can use at a great price and in a fun environment. Everyone wins! Contact us today to schedule your Clear Place Party!
Lunch and Learn
Karen Wehrman introduces guest speaker, Jane Green, at Friday’s Lunch & Learn. It was a great turnout and the room was filled with easy mingling and happy munching. Everyone enjoyed the “STUFF-ication” presentation and left with lots of ideas and tips on how to lighten their life and their space.
Lunch & Learn is held every Friday at Old Wives Tales in SE PDX. It’s a great way to connect with a diverse group of people. You’ll meet realtors, coaches, writers, health practitioners, CPA’s, shop owners, sales reps, and more. RSVP’s are required but there’s no fee to attend – and you don’t have to be an entrepreneur – just bring your desire to meet and learn. Each week features a different topic. For more information on attending contact Karen. To book your own STUFF-ication presentation contact Jane.

CLEAR TONES
Music can play a HUGE part in how your space feels. It sets the mood, enhances themes and changes the vibration around you. And like items on a bulletin board – music can be clean and crisp or chaotic. Acapella groups capture the pure notes of music in a way that always refreshes me. This season, treat yourself to the pure joy and magic of Straight, No Chaser. (You might have caught the OPB special that aired last night.) These guys are pure fun and perform old standards in amazingly new renditions. (Plus they’re really cute!) They have several holiday CD’s available and any of them would be a perfect choice to brighten your space! Go to Straight, No Chaser website.
The BEST Way to Improve Your Place
Wherever today finds you, make it a more perfect place by being mindful of the two most powerful words in our energetic world: Love and Gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!
