The Chinese New Year
The Year of the Rat is here, and before you run for the hills, STOP! . . .take in a deep breath, clear your mind of any preconceived notions about the rat and consider this.
The rat is quick minded and is in the habit of gathering valuables and saving them for future use. Understandably, the Chinese consider the Year of the Rat a year in which a multitude of opportunities will present themselves to us that will enable us to acquire wealth and live comfortably for years to come.

This period of prosperity and riches brings great stores of energy. We are now able to move forward toward our goals, perhaps into un-chartered territories. We are filled with hope and can take on whatever challenges that may come knowing that we are all the stronger for it.
The Year of the Rat lends itself to problem solving. All these energies, positive thoughts, and problem solving techniques fold together, blend easily and enable us to focus on our priorities.
The Year of the Rat is THE Year to embrace our challenges, experience them in an enjoyable way, thus enabling us to be all that we can possibly be.
Leave pleasing everyone else at the door and concentrate on your personal goals.
This year – the Year of the Rat – is THE year; YOUR year to weigh less and experience more prosperity.
