As a devoted and adoring mother, I couldn't be happier to celebrate a day called 'Universal Children's Day.' If, like me, you're a lover of children everywhere but have one or two or ten in particular that you're helping to steer through life, then the following tips might be very helpful for you. First, make sure that your child can see the door to their bedroom while either sitting, standing or lying on their bed. That bed should be aligned to the widest part of the room and would do well not to share a wall with a toilet or a bathroom. Make sure that this room stays relatively tidy and clean and has at least one mobile or wind chime hanging from the ceiling. This will encourage a child's innate sense of creativity and wonder. In fact, this adherence to organization and structure holds true at any age. Bright colors like yellows, light blues and greens lead to bright kids who are happy, healthy and secure. Turning on a light placed anywhere inside the 'Children/Creativity' area of their room will bring brilliant insights and illumination into their lives. Hey, they light up our lives, so let's return the favor!

'The Great American Smokeout' encourages smokers to quit the habit for just one day so they can see that they can actually do it and perhaps quit for a lifetime. A long, healthy and happy lifetime. But as anyone who has ever smoked knows, quitting is harder than anyone besides a smoker could ever imagine. That said, there are some 'tricks' or 'tips' that might make stopping a little less traumatic. Once you make the decision to quit and are weaning yourself off cigarettes, change to a brand that's much less appealing to you whenever you buy a pack. This not only reduces the pleasure you get from smoking, but will also affect your blood chemistry reaction, making it easier to eventually stop. Buy only one pack of cigarettes at a time while thinking of better ways of spending your money. Don't buy cartons while you're trying to quit. Smoke your first cigarette an hour later than you would normally start. Wait an hour longer than the day prior before lighting up. Lastly, take the nicotine out of your system by drinking a mixture of a half-teaspoon of cream of tartar and eight ounces of orange juice before retiring for the night. The tartar will help clear the toxins from your system while the orange juice replaces depleted vitamin C. Do this for 21 nights straight and without fail cigarettes will begin to taste yucky and you'll begin to think it's easier not to smoke than to light up. As always, consult a medical professional when necessary.

M-I-C-K-E-Y Mouse! Remember singing that name while waiting for the Mousketeers to entertain us on television? What? What do you mean you don't remember? Before there were tweets, there were those of us who sang that Mickey Mouse song. Well, today you'll have to move that melody out of your head to make way for another well-known one, the Happy Birthday song, because today is Mickey's 81st birthday! And let's face it, Disney's most important icon never goes out of style. That little mouse has also made a lot of money and garnered even more luck for that same studio. Could it be because Walt Disney knew his Feng Shui? Perhaps he knew that ancient Shui texts state that the mouse or the rat is associated with intelligence, street smarts and survivability? Or could it be that Disney knew that the rat symbol in Feng Shui represents and activates both career and income fortunes and luck? Either way, let's take a page from the Disney comic book and use an image of the rat if you want to scurry and scamper away with the sort of money that big cheese Walt and his ancestors keep earning and earning. Piece of cake!
