1. New Years Eve Party for One
===============================

Being alone on New Year's Eve
doesn't have to be so bad.

As a matter of fact, it can
be a wonderful thing.

New Years Eve can be the perfect
opportunity to renew yourself and
get ready for the coming year.


Here are some Party Package ideas for one:

--Decide to approach it as an evening of self-care

--Turn it into a ritual to let go of the old and
bring in the new.

--Center the evening around your bath and bedroom.

--Diffuse your favorite essential oil

--Buy a pretty journal in which to write reflections and
projections

--Order from your favorite Chinese or Sushi restaurant

--Have a special champagne flute to drink either
sparkling apple cider or champagne

--Do a dry brush body scrub to exfoliate the skin
let go of the old

--Take a lavender bath and play soft gentle music as you
visualize the new abundant year

--Use your favorite body lotion on damp skin after your bath
(the new YL lavender lotion is amazing!)

--Call in and visualize your new resolutions as you dowse
yourself with lovely lotion and your favorite essential oils
(shout them out loud - no one will hear you)

--Wear a comfortable and pretty lounge outfit - silk or satin

--Make your own maraca for when the clock strikes 12 and dance
around your bedroom
-To make a maraca you need 2 paper plates,
dried beans and tape.
Fill one plate with a handful of dried
beans, place the other plate on top, face down and tape
together making sure you seal all the way around

--Make an edible necklace out of licorice (read about the health
benefits of licorice - and order gluten-free licorice)

--Watch one of these movies and munch on your home-made necklace:

Little Miss Sunshine

The Wedding Planner

Overboard

Baby Boomer

Liar Liar

My Best Friend's Wedding

Dante's Peak

Volcano

The Beautician and the Beast

--Call your favorite people and leave loving messages on their
voicemails

--Call yourself and leave a loving message on your own voicemail


======================================
2. Essential Oil Tip: Hangover Remedy
======================================

Should you imbibe on New Years Eve
and have a less than optimal morning after. . .

The Young Living Essential Oil Blend of
"Harmony" is indicated as a natural
remedy for hangovers.

Rub this oil on your sternum and back of neck
to relieve hangover symptoms.

products see your Young Living Distributor or go to

3. Success Tip: T.S. Eliot
=============================

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

~T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"


==========================================================
4. Recipe of the Week: Warm Tomato Pesto with Goat Cheese
==========================================================

Yummy. . . .a nice New Years Appetizer treat


Warm Tomato Pesto with Goat Cheese

2 (10-ounce)logs goat cheese
2 small(8 ounce) jars of sun-dried tomato pesto
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

--In a small terra cotta baking dish lay 2 logs of goat
cheese side by side.

--Smash slightly with a fork to spreadout a bit.

--Pour sun-dried tomato pesto on top of goat cheese.

--Top with crushed walnuts.

--Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

--Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until bubbly.

--Serve with crostini.

For extra flavor, sprinkle 1 teaspoon
chopped fresh rosemary and 1 teaspoon
chopped fresh basil on top of the goat
cheese before adding the pesto.


=========================================
5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape
to drive, so he sensibly left his van in
the car park and walked home.

As he was wobbling along, he was stopped
by a policeman. 'What are you doing out
here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked
the police officer.

'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Roger.

'And who on earth, in their right mind,
is going to give a lecture at this time
on New Year's Eve?' enquired the constable
sarcastically.

'My wife,' slurred Daniel grimly.

7. A Personal Message and Special Announcement from Marilee
============================================================

I always seem to like when the movie is over, I finish a chapter
in a book, a project is completed, and an era ends.

As an eternal optimist and one who's been through much loss and
many dark nights of the soul, I know the certainty of a new
beginning and the higher level of beingness that comes with it.

So I'm welcoming this annual closure and have great expectancy
for what lies ahead for all of us!

Planning has much to do with what lies ahead for us, along with
keeping that window open and the agenda loose for the spiritual
whispers that may redirect our course.

It is in those whispers that the art of listening, hearing, and
trusting need be the focal point.

And then what is required is the skill of implementing the given
direction within the template of the original plan.

Ahh....the work of this life.

One of the gifts we have here is each other and the ability to
come together on this journey and assist one another in this
process.

And lets face it, we know many spiritual whispers come from a
spoken voice from a friend or other people - you know, those
angels that live in flesh :).

Six years ago I heard spiritual whispers that redirected my
course from my hands-on-healing practice to spreading light
through information technology (the old is new again
- I'm very connected to technology used in the Atlantean /
Lemurian culture from eons ago).

What I offer through Home Spa Lady and my other internet ventures
is an extension of my healing work.

It is to help empower people with information and tools that they
(you) can improve their (your) lives tremendously, with:

--natural health care options
--information on our beloved essential oils and other help
we receive from the plant kingdom
--and even ways to increase your income, let's face
it - money is just energy like everything else (and its very
empowering!)

Community is what holds structure like this together. And I have
loved creating this virtual community and bringing in world class
experts for much of our information that we all can use to
improve our lives.

I've got great plans for 2009 to bring in more wonderful leaders
in Alternative Medicine, Holistic Nutrition, Essential Oils,
Consciousness, Empowerment, Spirituality, Wealth Building, and
much more.

With great effort and a great team I've put together a structure
to create more of a community for those of you who are really
serious about your health, your wealth, and your life.

I want to bring you into my Inner Circle.

Tomorrow morning, January 1st 2009, you will receive a link from
me that will take you to a place to learn all of the details.

Until then, check out this 2 minute video if you haven't' seen it
already, to get a taste of what is to come...........
