Feng Shui Your Life.

A friend just sent this on as a Lotus Tout aka good luck forward that promises bad luck if you don't pass it on. Well, I never pass things like this on, but figure posting it on my blog should count for something. I believe all of these things to be true and try to live my life without anger, grudges or bitterness, and generally feel like it takes a lot more effort to be a miserable person than a happy one. I always try to see the best in people and truly enjoy all aspects of my life. I know how lucky I am to have married my true love and best friend Jeff, and blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family members who keep me laughing all the time. The third photo down is one I took at the Japanese Garden in Portland, OR which is the best Japanese Garden outside of Japan and its a place I really love and feel completely zen there. Enjoy.

1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

4. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.

5. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.

6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

7. Believe in love at first sight.

8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
