Welcome to the Season of Sugar!

October (pre-Halloween) to February (post-Valentines) is the time of year affectionately known as the Season of Sugar. Everywhere you go, anything you do, sugar will be involved. And the holidays revive emotions that contribute to sugar over-consumption. It is a slippery slope to a caftan at the beach next summer. More problematic is the effect of sugar on your body chemistry.

I will not discuss the host of physical and mental diseases instigated or amplified by sugar ~ you can Google for yourself the negative effects ~ but I will merely suggest that waiting until the Spring for "Spring cleaning" is not in the best interest of your body, mind, and spirit. Begin a mild cleansing program now. Make a commitment to eating more fresh vegetables. Do not rely on nutritional supplements to remedy a continuously unhealthy lifestyle. "Supplements" are meant to supplement, not remediate. A good diet will serve you in countless ways.

To assist in your commitment to a healthier lifestyle, use blessthebody.com Karma Cleanse to release patterns inhibiting basic discipline and holding childhood unhealthiness.

And when (not if) you partake of sugar, have something wonderful, well-made, with excellent ingredients. Dark chocolate has less sugar and no milk products (usually) compared to regular chocolate ~ but even many, so-called "dark" chocolates need to be screened. Know what you are eating.

For wonderful, healthy, exquisite chocolates, see the blesstheworld.com Humanity Shops.

Holiday Beauty

Not only will a preemptive cleanse help you look and feel better for holiday gatherings but regular use of blessthebody.com Skin Mantra will have your skin looking its best for those people you only see once or twice a year. Many women use it instead of makeup. Begin your holiday health-beauty routine now.

Astrological Feng Shui

For the month of October, the energy for illness and death remains strong. Women need to be especially careful at this time.

The energy for romance, scholarship, writing a book/making art also remains strong (see announcement above). This can bring joy.

If your money has not increased in the last month, it will this month… depending on your personal karma. Be sure to apply the monthly feng shui treatments carefully.

Any conflict that has been brewing, bubbling, will boil over. Diffuse all conflict now.

And take the time to read the annual predictions again. They pertain to you more than you may think.
