1. One Way To Age Profitably
==============================
People don't seem to be retiring anymore. They either need tostay in the work force longer because they need the income, orthey still feel so vibrant that they just don't want to stopworking.
If they do 'officially' retire, many people look for either asecond career or to get involved with something that isfun, mentally stimulating, and creative. If this something canbe income producing, all the better.
With the internet age upon us as it is, there is opportunity toexplore any area that interests you. There isalso opportunity to contribute to cyberspace with your own areaof expertise.
I've been teaching classes in alternative and complementaryholistic therapies for years. The participants in these courseshave come from diverse backgrounds - from physicians toat-home moms. The excitement about this new emerging healing basedhealthcare is growing more rapidly than ever before.
In my recent classes, probably the past year or two, I havenoticed a trend. I have noticed the average age of theparticipants is increasing, with many nearing retirement age. I'mgetting the sense that there are more vibrant and optimisticpeople in their 60's and 70's today than ever before. It'sevident that a paradigm shift is really taking hold and these old'thought forms' of aging are really changing.
I think this is good news. I'll admit that I am an eternaloptimist, and sometimes I get so tired of hearing, reading, andeven writing about so many aging people with terrible diets,illnesses, and grim futures. Although this describes manyindividuals, there are many adults and elders with lots of goodlife to live, and great gifts to give.
I've also noticed that people are looking for more ways toincrease and maintain their vibrancy and they are interested inthings like:
--Creating or being part of a community of like minded people(whatever their minds are like!)
--Contributing to society and to the world
--Sharing the wisdom of their years
--Sharing their area of expertise
--Staying connected to life in many ways without the hassle oftravel
--Making an income while loving and controlling what they do
As you are reading this right now you are looking at the exactvehicle that can help to fulfill those goals. The internet.
It doesn't take a technologically oriented 'propeller-head' touse the internet to fulfill certain goals. If you know enough toopen and read this newsletter, you know enough (technologically)to help you do these things and more.
I am teaching a course in Internet Marketing. I am fascinatedwith the possibilities that are available to us and others on theinternet. Yes, you do have to sift through the less desirableinformation to get what you want - but there are ways to do that.There are also ways to package yourself and your information sothat the credible and professional person that you are will shinethrough.
I've had many people say to me 'I'm not a sales person, so Iwouldn't be interested in marketing'. Usually this type ofperson is in a service profession. I often reply with 'Marketingis not what you think it is, it's really not sales. It's whatyou and I as a nurse healers do for people all the time. It'sabout identifying a need and helping people to fulfill that need- with resources, products, information, or whatever you canoffer'.

Although the written information is geared toward the holistichealth professional, this information can apply to anyprofession or area of interest.
You don't have to travel anywhere to take this course (one of themany things I love about this work!). You only need a telephone.If you can sit in front of your computer during these classes itwould be helpful, but not necessary.
And you will get individualized attention which is why the classsize is very limited. If you want more info and tolearn how to register, go to: http://tinyurl.com/mg36z

3. Feng Shui Abundance Trees
==============================
A feng shui abundance tree is an indoor plant used in order toattract prosperity and wealth into any space. Thistree's botanical name is Pachira, and its care requires theaverage sun light and watering that any other indoor plant wouldneed. Its height can reach to as much as seven feet while it canexpand sideways to be as much as three feet wide.
The shape of these plant's leaves represent the five mainelements of feng shui, wood, water, earth, fire and metal, andthis is what makes this tree so symbolic. When anelement is missing, or the elements in a space are not balanced,this tree would help by adding what is missing toharmonize the elements.
Since this tree bring or increase wealth, they areideal to place near a place where the moola is kept or near the cashregisters in businesses. Prosperity and wealth, as well aselements harmonization should come after placing this plant atthose spots. Any other place where wealth is needed canbe a good place for this tree as well.
This trees can also be strategically placed accordingto the house areas indicated by the bagua map. The bagua mapnorthwest corner corresponds to the prosperity area of life, andthis could be an ideal place for this tree to be.Since it brings prosperity, you can also help apply thisattracting factor to any other area of your life by placing thefeng shui tree at the house area which corresponds to it.
If you would like to have a feng shui tree but don't knowwhere to find it, there are many stores selling them online whichwould allow you to buy it through their catalogues. You wouldeasily find them by typing feng shui abundance tree into your searchengine, and they would allow you to see them in pictures as wellas provide you with details about it.
As you can see, these trees can have manydifferent applications as well as having decorative properties.They can also help you lighten a dark corner and improve the flowof chi. Whether you are thinking of buying an indoor plant foryourself or giving it as a present, these tree can bea great option.
