Winterfest a huge success! I am a proud member of TeamWinterfest serving as Vice-Chair of Cornwall's second largestfestival. I was privileged to work with an excellent teamincluding Chair Jason Mitchell, Past Chair Rodney Rivette, CityCouncillor Syd Gardiner, Secretary Lucie Hart, Treasurer JessicaAdams, Volunteer Coordinator Kimly Thivierge, and manyothers. A festival of this size took over a thousand combinedhours of volunteering to organize over twelve months.Winterfest 2012 was a huge success, and a true measure of thatsuccess was seeing the thousands and thousands of people andfamilies who enjoyed the festivities this past weekend. Thesmiles on children's face and seeing people having fun, that isso rewarding! From the opening ceremonies at the CivicComplex and someone winning a trip to Disney, to two nightsof awesome fireworks, to the kid zone, skating, music,entertainment, and countless other activities, this has been thebest Winterfest yet! I am thankful to all our sponsors includingStorm Realty and the Children's Aid Society of SDG. The media

has simply been terrific promoting this event too. Cogeco did a great jobfilming the open ceremonies, and Mix 96.1 did a great job registeringpeople for the Disney Trip. Print media such as the Seaway News,Standard Freeholder, and Local Seeker helped a lot too, as did onlinemedia from Ourhometown, to Choose Cornwall, and the City's website. Itis humbling to see the community come together this way, fromvolunteers, to entertainers, to sponsors, to the City of Cornwall, andmedia. It was a team effort, and it benefited our whole community.Festivals like Winterfest are good for quality of life for local residents, andit's also good for economical development and tourism. It was an honourto be a part of Team Winterfest!

What Dreams May ComeThe significance and imagery of dreams is astounding. It can keep metapping the snooze button, because I don’t want to leave the dream stateyet. Those fragmented pieces that float about in your subconscious whileyou sleep could be a great story, a new idea, a promotional opportunity orindicate something that is lacking in your life or something you really want.I am fortunate that I can recall my dreams and usually in great detail. It oftenfeels as though there is a message or a sign in them. Do you remember yourdreams? Have you felt moved by a dream? Have you ever experienced

recurring dreams? Do you believe you have had prophetic dreams? Dreams to me symbolizehope, help me work through feelings and can give me the strength and courage to startsomething new, or end it.

I have always been fascinated with dreams. When I was younger, I’d walk home from school sharingrecollections of dreams with my best friend. They were entertaining and we’d try to determinewhat they meant. Things haven’t changed, I have several friends who tell me about their dreams.We seek the underlying meaning in them.

I keep a dream journal, own dream analysis books and recently downloaded the Dream Book app.There are key messages in the dreams. When I worry about something, or I if I feel uncertain that Iam in the right place and on the right path for me, I notice that my dreams are more vivid anddetailed. If people who hurt me are in my dreams, I can release some of the pain. It can also signifyjoy and potential outcomes.

Creative people can channel elements into moving and beautiful artwork, music or literary pieces.My son Brad wrote his first book Demongelic based on a dream he had. His school assignment was to writeabout a dream he could recall. Shortly before the assignment he had a dream of characters with specialpowers and a strong message, so he wrote about them, and being an artist, he was able to draw them aswell. His assignment was successful and the story intrigued his teacher and classmates. Withencouragement he continued writing the story of Christopher Skye and his friends and foes. He releasedthe first book of a planned five book series; in November 2011.

For years, I’d have this dream that I was walking in a corridor with multiple doors. I sensed it was a school,and figured it was my way of reminiscing about my school years. At the time I was working in the businessworld. Now several years later, on a daily basis, I see the same type of corridor and the doors along the path,because I now work at a college. Was this recurring message to make a change, or was it coincidence?Really, there is no way to know. But personally I do believe in the power ofdreams and the hidden messages and signs.

I often see animals in my dreams. Cats are the most frequent, but recentlyI saw a deer in my dream. It was beautiful and left me with a feeling ofpeace. Another recurring theme is water. I have dreamt of strongcurrents, been underwater, dreamt of scuba diving, fishing, peacefullakes, pristine pools, and being on a boat and at peace. One of themeanings of entering water suggest new beginnings; the title of the pastyear for me. There are all types of meanings to dreams. I often find thatby reading what is the general meaning, coupled with what is going onin my life, I often understand what it is about.

In my dreams, I often see old friends, acquaintances or relatives I haven’tseen for a while. They sometimes tell me a message, and occasionally Irun into them soon after or I hear news about them. Coincidence, maybe,but sometimes there is more to it. Could be that I miss them or the timethey represent. Perhaps they were the messenger to a key idea orinformation.

I remember several years ago having a dream with an angel in it, and thatdream gave me some answers I’d been seeking. In the dream I was givenadvice to make some major changes in my life. It was a high stress timeand when I woke up, I wrote out the dream in great detail. It left me witha sense of peace and purpose. Two days later, my position was eliminatedat work and I was facing a very uncertain future. I didn’t panic, I workedwith the adversity I faced and to this day, that dream stands out as mymost significant dream. Was it prophetic? Maybe it was, I know for me, itgave me the map to my future. I still listen to the message.

Yes I am a dreamer and have been known to daydream. I know that thosefragmented pieces can mean something. So write them down; it can bein point form, it can be the hazy message, it may be your way of sortingthrough emotions. Dreams may help you find closure or open newpossibilities. Sweet Dreams!

What Did You Most Need As a Child?Ask yourself the question – what did you most need as achild? It could be acceptance, validation, love, hugs – itcould be something as simple as for people to payattention to you.

As children we get our needs met from the adults in ourworld. When one or more of our needs gets ignored,

criticized or judged, it creates an emotional wound in us. At the base of suchwounds we often find beliefs like I’m unlovable, I’m unacceptable, I’m unworthy,I don’t like me, I don’t value me, I’m nothing. And it’s these wounds that limit ourlives, limit our dreams, limit our ability to help ourselves, that sabotage ourgood intentions or affect the way we interact with people and life itself.

And when we enter relationships these wounds become a driving force inshaping our behavior. If what we needed most as a child was acceptance, whatwe will do as we grow older is sabotage our own needs in favor of gainingacceptance from others. So we tend to please people, do what we think theywant us to do, look out for their needs before our own, etc. In making thesechoices, we usually do so to the detriment of our own well-being. Andeventually we wind up angry and disillusioned, seeing our partner as the sourceof our problems, blaming them for not loving us or not appreciating us or notwanting us. The truth is – we don’t really love and accept ourselves and ourpartners become a mirror to that.

Relationship difficulties often appear to be the fault of the other person. Wehave learned to blame the other person, to make it their fault that we feel theway we do. But if you look really closely, you’ll begin to see the belief system andstrategies inside you that reinforce or encourage those behaviors in the otherperson or your perception of them. It’s difficult to accept sometimes, but thetruth is that we are responsible for our lives – all of it!

Do you want to make positive changes in your relationships including therelationship with you?

Starting Monday April 2nd, there will be a 12 week rebuilding seminar held atthe Cornwall Public Library, space is limited. Full program information availableat www.thesdrc.com to register, please contact Janet St-Pierre at 613-360-7933or email: [email protected]

I love sitting down on Sunday evenings witha nice organic green tea, favorite pj’s and start thinking about what Iwould like to share with you this week….

The first thing that comes to mind this week is the fact thatsometimes you just don’t have control over certain situations in life.Before I began my healthy lifestyle, situations like these would havebeen a huge factor, I would have panicked, heart palpitations, atesomething really bad for my health etc….This is where I can really seethat when you change your life, you can sit back and look at situationswith a better perspective and realize that this is life and thingshappen.

Yesterday, I had a part 2 cooking seminar scheduled …I had all of myfood and recipes ready to go…last minute I had to make theimportant decision to cancel the seminar due to bad weather. Thisbroke my heart because I knew that the participants that werecoming were really looking forward to learning and enjoying all ofthe great tips and information. I knew that they really wanted to bethere and that we would have had an awesome time. Once I made thedecision ,there was no turning back…. I could only hope that theywould be ok with my decision and attend another time.They were all very understanding and all is good….

Now what to do with all of the food ? Being a new member and onlinesponsor for ”Sheconnex” https://www.sheconnex.com/ , knowingthat their charity of choice is Baldwin House, it automatically came tomind to bring most of my meals there. The reception that I received

was amazing. The worker was so thrilled and appreciative that I had thoughtof them. She just happened to have someone that was vegan and would justso much enjoy these organic/natural meals. I immediately felt that this was theright move. It quickly brightened my day…

Naturally Delicious ... with the Health Nut I was also able to share the food with a couple of families that are living

hard personal times right now as well…just the look in their eyes andsmile was enough for me to know that I was doing the right thing….

Being healthy for a few years now, I was able to take a deep breath in astressful situation and look at the whole picture and ask myself “Now ,youhave all of this amazing food in front of you, you could easily keep it foryourself, freeze it ….etc…or give it to people that would really enjoy it onthis awful day….” I was able to look at it from another point of view, onethat made sense and could serve and help others…now that was theroute to go..

When you feel good about yourself, healthy, rested and happy you canmake well balanced decisions in any situation. You do not do it to get amedal or a tap on the back, you do it because deep down you know thatit is the right thing to do…giving to needy organizations is always a goodthing…..I truly believe in this and Cornwall is an amazing community togive back…

On this note , this week-end , Sunday March 4th, from 9am to 4pm willbe a huge and amazing event called “I am woman conference andtrade show” with proceeds going to SASS (Sexual Assault SupportServices)….it is $10 at the door. Please make sure to come and say“HI”….

There will be over 50 booths geared to women, guest speakers and I amreally looking forward to giving 3 cooking demos, samples as well asintroducing some of my gluten-free recipes…there will be samples ofthese as well….

You will have a chance to bid on 2 gift certificates in the silent auctionto attend my cooking seminars or in exchange for homemadeorganic/natural goods…they are not dated ……you could have greatsavings…best of luck!!!Come out in huge numbers and support this great cause…

If ever you wish to attend one of my cooking seminars please contact meat 613-931-3119, email me at [email protected] . Please visit myofficial website at www.thehealthnut.ca . Make sure to visit my FacebookFan Page while you are there…lots of great information and recipes…..In health….

Local NDP Elect New Executive for 2012Photo by Jason Setnyk

The Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry Provincial and Federal NDP ridingassociations elected their executive members for 2012 at their joint annualgeneral meetings on February 29 at the Navy Veterans Association inCornwall. Former Cornwall Mayor Brian Lynch was re-elected as President ofboth the SDSG provincial and federal NDP riding associations.

Lynch said that 2011 was a very busy year for the local NDP as theyincreased the local membership by 40% and ran strong local federal andprovincial election campaigns. Lynch said: “2012 will be equally busy for thelocal NDP in SDSG as we continue to build the membership, do communityoutreach, and fundraise.”

Several members of the SDSG Federal NDP riding association will beattending the federal NDP leadership convention in Toronto on March 23-24. Lynch stated:

“With the election of our new leader on March 24 and with many more Canadians joining the NDP across the country, Canadians will see the NDP asthe clear choice to the divisive, anti-democratic Harper Government to bring real change for a stronger, more caring Canada.”

At the provincial level, Lynch said that Premier McGuinty should remember that he leads a minority Government and should work with the NDP tocreate good jobs, stop the corporate tax giveaways, make life more affordable, and tackle our healthcare challenges. Lynch further stated: “Rather thanmaking reckless cuts to essential publlc services as recommended in the Drummond Report, the McGuinty Government should take a balancedapproach to balancing the budget by 2017-18 and ensure that the large, profitable corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.”

Also elected to serve on the 17 member local NDP riding associations’ joint executives were Elaine MacDonald as vice president; Paul Aubin , recordingsecretary; David Denneny, chief financial officer; Diane Besner, membership organizer; Madeleine Lebrun, women’s representative; Carilyne Hebert andPatrique Brisson, youth representatives; Trevor Tolley, Bill DeVries , Deborah Jodoin, Darlene Jalbert, Mario Leclerc, Helene Paquin, Jason Setnyk, KatyBergeron, Ian Wilson as members-at-large. Brian Lynch and Carilyne Hebert were also elected as the local NDP provincial councillors.

For further information contact Brian Lynch at 613-933-8353.

EMPLOYMENT SEEKER The Seeker Chicks are happy to introducea new columnist to you, our readers. He isJohn Parsons, Branch Manager of DrakeInternational and he will be sharinginformation on employment seekingamong other things. Welcome to ourSeeker family John.

We've all been there. Replying to job adafter job ad. Cold calling human resource departments. At thecomputer hitting send hoping an email will result in not only acall back but what all the effort has been about; a job offer. Jobhunting can be an extremely difficult and at times a frustratingtask. It almost becomes a job unto itself and not one we wake uplooking forward to every morning.

I've had the opportunity to review thousands of applicationsand interviewed hundreds of candidates for a wide variety ofpositions in various fields. Certain applicants stand out for beingcandidates I knew would get the job moments after meetingthem. I've also held interviews where candidates thought it

acceptable to swear or talk disparagingly about a former or currentemployer. I clearly remember one candidate who roller bladed to theinterview and then removed his skates before coming into the interviewroom in his socks!

Job hunting is both an art and a science. There are definite proceduresand practices to follow and rules to abide by. Yet creativity and sometimesflair can also have a part to play. This column hopes to offer some insight,tips and tricks that will help you land a job or ready you for the job youreally want. There'll be some discussions on how to answer aninterviewers’ questions, things you should make sure you add to yourresume and suggestions on what you should leave out! We'll also coverhow to research a prospective employer, writing a great cover letter; (Yes,you should always send one); developing your 30 second elevator pitchand selling yourself. In short I’ll be sharing with you success tips but froma recruiter’s perspective.

I firmly believe that a recruiter's role does not end with the job offer. Thegreatest professional satisfaction I receive is helping develop newemployees, challenging them and pushing them onward and higher.Working with new employees and helping them navigate this new phaseof their lives is very rewarding and is one of the main reasons I am excitedabout getting to work in the morning. To this end I look forward tobringing to you some insight into what will make you stand out as a staremployee from day one.

I've been a job seeker myself and know how challenging this phase ofyour personal employment cycle can be. I'd like to say a quick thanks toThe Local Seeker for the opportunity to share some of my personal andprofessional experiences with you every week.

I'd love to get your feedback and perhaps examples of what worked foryou and what didn't when looking for a job. My contact details are below.Next week I'll be tackling The Resume. Until then, good job hunting.

Quick BioJohn has been involved in recruiting in the Cornwall and SD&G area forthe past several years having interviewed, selected and onboardedhundreds of employees for some of the area’s biggest companies. He haslived and worked as far afield as the UK and Hong Kong in a variety offields. Before becoming a Branch Manager for Drake International he wasin private practice as an Inward Investment Economic Developmentconsultant in Montreal after having lived an exciting period as a CanadianForces Intelligence Officer. With a Masters degree in Public Policy andPublic Administration from Concordia University he is a firm believer inthe value of education and dedicates much of his time helping developand coach new employees to assist them in achieving their professionaland personal goals.

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS Support your Local Starving ArtistThere is a lot of buzz around anarticle put out by the Globeand Mail this past week withregard to Artist of alldisciplines living on or belowthe government determined

poverty line. I sayGovernment determined because we all know that inthe current economy living off $30,000 is almostimpossible that is of course if you would like to eatand have a roof over your head.

My reaction to this article is, tell me something I don’tknow. Even while teaching at the college my annualincome was below $15,0000 before taxes, which theyjoyfully took from me. Not exactly the big bucks sowhy do we do it. Why would anyone in their rightmind want to subject themselves to a life of scrapingout an existence? Oh, I can almost hear my father’svoice as I wrote that line. He wanted me to be aDoctor or housewife, anything that made moremoney than an artist would. Back to the question,why do artists do what they do even if there is nomoney in it?

The answer to that question is very simple, we can’tbe happy doing anything else. Living in poverty isless scary than a life without making our art. The realquestion should be why is the Government, Provence,City and taxpayers allowing it to happen? Why are theArts the first thing to be cut from the budgets ofschool boards and Municipal programming?

Why, because there is no money in it! Thegovernments and taxpayers don’t see the logic in

supporting something that has no chance of monetary reward;even if all the science out there on the development of thebrain in children and adults supports that the arts promote ahealthy whole brain human. I can see our members ofparliament now sitting around saying, “Yes, yes, we know it willmake our citizens happy, healthy, less violent and moreintelligent, not to mention create a dynamic cultural identity,but it cost too much. Let’s give the money to the carmanufacturers or how about the oil sands, that may bring taxrevenue in! If it doesn’t we will always have their gratitude atre-election time. Artists are just a bunch of lazy bums whocan’t get up in the morning to handle a real job anyway.”

So what can be done? We need to organize and put pressureon our Government to not only support the arts but providesupport for artists who need it to create, and not the lotterysystem we have now where there are 10:100 ratio of grants toapplicants vying for the support. Another approach would befor the government to offer tax incentives to those thatsupport artists buy providing them with income to producetheir work or donations toward specific projects they areworking on. Producing stage productions, books, a body ofpaintings, or a music album is expensive and many of us can’teven get out of the starting gate to have a chance for a career.

Common people, let’s get mad and not take this anymore!!Artists of Canada unite, only we can affect change to the statusquo!

ART SEEKERSby Sandra Taylor Hedges

Dance Class = Life Lessons?Dance has more to offer to individuals than simply providingentertainment and a good time. It is a form ofcommunication, and a very loud one at that.

The more you open your mind and actually try to findmeaning in movement the clearer the connectionsbetween life and art become. Dance has the samepotential to evoke change as a soul stirring song,monologue, piece of art, book, film, etc... Dance can tell

stories, emotions, history, accentuate simple shapes inspace, perhaps architectural design even. Dance empowers a person to apply

every ounce of their being into a moment for a purpose. Dance brings peopletogether to work, to play, to celebrate, to mourn, and to translate a message.

“We all want to belong to something,” a wise teacher said to me. If that somethingcreates and fosters confidence and a sense of belonging a stronger work ethic hasthe potential to come to fruition. But, how do we find that something? Simple, ‘putyourself out there,’ and try something new. You just don’t know until you do andwhole-heartedly at that.

Now, how can dance be an impetus for social change? It seems to me there areendless ways.

Not only does dance give way to priceless skills such as cooperation, creativity,tenacity, and acceptance, it has the potential uplift others!

Some companies like DV8 Physical Dance Theatre, The Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe ofAmerica, Danny Grossman, La La La Human Steps, Propeller Dance, Dusk Dances,Blue Print for Life, and well, the list goes on and on.....These companies andprojects dedicate their missions to use dance as a medium for rising out of andagainst oppression, prejudice, stereotypes, bias and discrimination. Check themout!

Locally we have a program offered at The Powell School of Dance called BallerinaDreams which serves individuals with special needs in a classical dance class. Thisis an incredible initiative and should set off a few more sparks throughout thecommunity as well. Also, Luv2Groove is another local company serving the area.On the www.luv2groove.com website it says, “Students of all ages, shapes andsizes can enjoy dance and its benefits. Dance really is for everyBODY! All L2Gworkshops encourage individuality, self-expression, inclusivity, empowerment

and a positive attitude.”

Have you ever gotten chills while hearing a recorded song or live? Or perhaps it was amonologue in a play or a speech, or a dance that gave you a rush of excitement.I certainly have experienced the, “chill factor,” and what a gift that fleeting movement canbe. The reaction is more than a physical resonance with a melody, or lyric, or work, ormovement.

Our memories are stirred, an emotion surges, an innate impulse to connect drives throughyou. Neural networks are stimulated and the magic happens. You connect, youexperience that moment, in your way and no other.... it doesn’t get any better than that.

Whether you are in the moment of creation, on the stage, behind the scenes, at the micor taking in the moment as an audience member, in your car, at your desk, watching lifeyou, are a part of something bigger. You are connected to that moment, and you are notonly effected by it you create it yourself through your perception.

I welcome your comments and feedback. Please feel free to email me [email protected]. You can also check out my blog at amandamoves.wordpress.com for more articles on movement.

Dear Joe,With the freezing and thawing we have beenhaving this winter we have developed a leakin our roof where two different roofs meet. Wealways have a lot of snow collect in this areabut we have never had a leak. Can we preventthis from continuing without replacing theroof? Because that wasn’t in our budget for atleast another 7 or 8 years. Thank you for youradvice.

I’ll probably have another question for younext week about fixing drywall.Sincerely, Kim

Dear Kim, This sounds like a classic exampleof something called an ice dam. Snow

melting on the roof pools on snow on the eaves or ingutters and freezes, backing further and further up theroof forcing ice and water uphill, how shingles werenever designed to stop it. Once it gets up under theshingle it has free rein to travel through the roof andinto your home causing all kinds of havoc, damagedinsulation, mould, rot, etc. There are ways to prevent it.On the surface you can remove the snow, or addheating cables to keep the valleys and eaves free of iceand snow. The proper remedies though require quite abit more work and money. When you do redo your roof,hopefully sooner than later, you will need to haveinstalled, a self adhering membrane, or ice and watershield, a minimum of 6 feet up the roof and three feeton both sides of valleys. This will prevent any futureleaks from ice dams.

Upgrading to a metal roof offers some additionalprotection as well. Now, to prevent the ice damsthemselves. Though if you have a roof that is prone todamming, you may never completely eliminate them,but you can minimize them by keeping as much snowon the roof as you can, unmelted. Having sufficientinsulation in your attic to prevent the heat loss thatmelts the snow is the best way to do this, not tomention saving money on heating costs.

Make sure you are topped up to a minimum r40, I preferr50, of a blown in product and this will considerablyreduce your heating costs and keep that insulatinglayer of snow on the roof all winter. Best of luck,Joe

“About The House”

Sell Investments for the Right ReasonsIt’s important to understand which investments to own, and when tobuy them. But you should also know when it’s time to sell aninvestment — and why.

Unfortunately, many people sell investments for the wrong reasons.Some people want the money to purchase so-called “hot”investments, even if they aren’t appropriate for their needs. Othersown investments that have lost value, and fearing further losses, theydecide to sell — thereby violating the oldest rule of investing: “Buy

low and sell high.”

These types of behaviour can lead to at least two major problems. First, if you’re constantlyselling investments, you’ll likely incur fees, commissions and taxes that can erode any returnsyou did manage to achieve. And second, by frequently selling off your investments andbuying new ones, you’ll find it difficult to follow the type of consistent, long-term financialstrategy that’s essential to help you work toward your goals.

If you shouldn’t sell investments to find quick gains or to avoid losses that may not even occur,when should you sell?

You might want to sell:

If your goals have changed —You bought certain investments because you thought theywould help you make progress toward your objectives. But over time, your goals may change,so in response, you may need to sell some investments and use the money to purchase newones that are more suitable for your new goals. For example, early in your career, you mighthave benefited from owning investments that offered high potential for growth, but as younear retirement, you may need to shift some — but certainly not all — of your growth-oriented vehicles to income-producing ones.

If the investments themselves change—You might have bought a stock because you likedthe company’s products, business plan or management team. If any of these factors changesignificantly, though, you might need to re-evaluate your ownership of this investment.

If you need to rebalance your portfolio —You may have decided that your investmentportfolio should be composed of specific percentages of stocks, bonds and “cash” instruments.But due to changes in the value of your investments, these percentages can shift somewhat,resulting in a portfolio that no longer reflects your goals and risk tolerance. If that happens,you’ll need to rebalance your holdings, which may require you to sell some of yourinvestments.

If an investment has chronically underperformed — Sometimes, an investment simplydoesn’t perform as well as you had hoped. When this happens, you may be better off by sellingthe investment and using the money to pursue new opportunities. However, don’t rush tojudgment. Before you sell an underperforming investment, try to determine why it hasn’tdone well. Is it because the market as a whole has slumped? If so, your investment couldrebound when the market does. Or are there factors unique to this investment that havecaused its problems? If the investment’s fundamentals and prospects still look good, youmight want to simply give it time to prove its worth.

By knowing when you should hold an investment, and when you shouldn’t, you can helpavoid costly mistakes and improve your chances for long-term investment success. So thinkcarefully before putting up the “For Sale” sign on your investments.

Diversification does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss.

Spring CleaningI just read an article in the March issue of O magazinecalled De-clutter Your Life. Specifically the articledescribed Adam Glassman’s challenges in de-cluttering

the closets of Gayle King, editor at large for ‘O’. Despite resistance on herpart, he helped her purge, (you better sit down for this one) 152 dresses, 77sweaters, 17 skirts, 12 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of pants, 13 belts, 62 pairs of shoes,and 67 handbags. I found the sheer number of purged items unimaginable as Iam pretty sure that I have not owned that number of dresses, etc. over an entirelifetime. De-clutter indeed – and I am left wondering how much still remains inher closets and how much space was created.

In a recent roadSIGNS TV Show, one of our audience members confided that shecould not seem to de-clutter her desk because if she did, she feared that her lifewould no longer have a purpose. The papers, journals, and books piled on herdesk and jamming walls of bookcases represented the accumulation of herwisdom and knowledge over a lifetime. Ah! the real issues emerge. You begin tounderstand that to accumulate ‘stuff’ is more than jamming your physical spacefull of cloths, boxes, furniture and more, it is about the emotional attachmentassociated with them and the fear of letting these go. It is as if each itembecomes a part of you, and if purged, is like amputating a limb.

Clutter occurs in all domains: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. To de-clutter implies releasing what no longer serves you, that is, what no longer fits, is out ofdate or is fear based. In releasing you have the opportunity to open space around youfilling it with all that is in your highest good. You may not know the specifics of what youwant to fill the space with right now. Just be clear that you do not want any backwashfrom what you have let go of and fill it with what is perfect for you.

Imagine for a moment your spiritual-emotional space and a desire to de-clutter. Youmight examine the following: the 13 old hurts, 23 resentments, 14 unforgivens(including yourself ), 5 fears and the 72 voices that make up the choir- your self-critic’svoice. Man that is a lot to release and were you to decide to work on this de-clutteringinitiative, where would you start? At the beginning!If you can see yourself in this article and you are thinking that perhaps it is time to de-clutter, it may be time for ‘a “Radical Spring Cleaning Fest”. You begin by making a list:Name the old hurts, resentments and unforgivens. Chances are they are intertwined insome way. Imagine how much space they are occupying right now in your emotional-spiritual field. Wow! No wonder life never changes; there is no room for new things tocome in as the closet is too full.

I encourage you to consider the following: as much as you want your life to change, verylittle can shift until you release and de-clutter your emotional-spiritual field. Just as in de-cluttering a closet, it takes time and patience and a strong will to let go. As you do thishowever, realize that you are creating new space for you to grow and expand, to attracta life which is much more perfect for you.

Once you reach this realization and make the commitment to de-clutter, begin withchewable chunks. Create a ritual. Take two or three of those hurts, resentments andunforgivens and shake hands with them. Bless them as they have offered you importantopportunities to learn. Understand that hanging on to them harms no one but you andthat you are ready to move forward. Attach them to a helium balloon and lovinglyrelease them to the Universe. See yourself replacing these hurts with beauty, light andhealing.

Notice how good this feels. Repeat this process again and again until all those hurts,resentments and unforgivens have been released. Note that some hurts are bigger thanothers and may need to be released more than once. That’s okay! Are you ready? Radical Spring Cleaning it is! Watch out for the dust bunnies.

Until next time…Betty
