Summer is on its last legs. The worst of the heat has lifted and there is a new feeling of freshness in the weather and in our spirits, as well. We have rested and played and now we are ready to begin again and get back on track.

Recharged by the sunny days and laze of summer, life now begins again in earnest in schools, government agencies, cultural institutions, and businesses across the country. There is an unmistakable aura of enthusiasm and energy in the air, a palpable sense of intensified determination. 

Most of us have been indelibly imprinted with the excitement and optimism of the first day of school. There is nothing quite so inspiring as buying blank notebooks, pencils you have to sharpen yourself, and some brand new white blouses. So clean, so fresh, so hopeful.

Now is the perfect time to start a project, a journal or a dream diary. There are some beautiful blank notebooks on the divination page to use for this purpose. And to help you dream and plan, try the Algonquin Lucid Dream Tea.

And check out all the great Feng Shui and South American Prosperity Charms as well as Lodestones, Magnets, Sand Dollars, and Money Drawing Soap to help you to refocus your attention on your work and the realties of supporting yourself.

Try burning some Copal or Lavender to reinvigorate your energy after summer’s lethargy. Their fragrance will really get things going. Or play one of the wonderful Percussions on the Instrument Page to wake yourself up!

My gift to you for every order over $50. (received by September 30, 2011) is my Gold Leap of Faith Blessing Oil. This blend contains essential oils, herbs and a little gold angel to enhance your sense of trust, sweet innocence, spiritual expansion and enlightened wisdom.

Yours for a renewed energy,
