Since I was a kid, I have always loved dragons. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I was introduced to the Chinese zodiac and discovered that I am a dragon! Isn’t it funny I was instinctively drawn to them as a child? This year will be awesome because February 10th marks the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. These powerful, fascinating creatures have a lot to teach us, and we can all use a little motivation and inspiration.
Be Yourself
You are a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Let your inner light shine and you will inspire others to do the same.
Protect Your Treasures
Your family, friends and home are precious gifts. Protect and appreciate them well and you will always have love and joy in your life.
Be Playful
Whether you swim in a pool, hike along a trail or soar through the sky to a beautiful vacation destination, make time to get outside and play.
Release Anger & Stress
Don’t allow negative emotions to build up inside you. Find ways to safely let them go and you will be rewarded with peace and harmony in mind, body, and spirit.
Celebrate Life’s Magic
There is magic around and within us all. INXS said it best in their song, “Never Tear Us Apart: … I told you that we could fly, cause we all have wings, but some of us don’t know why.” Let’s learn to fly together.
Go Out on the Town
There’s something special about a night out on the town. All the noise and clutter disappear into the background, leaving you free to be whoever you want to be and celebrate, if only for one night.
Who Says Dragons are Mythical?
Most articles refer to dragons as legendary and mythical, however the present-day creature shown above is a seadragon, commonly found in the waters off Australia. This beautiful member of the seahorse family has perfect camouflage resembling leaves floating in the current. How many other dragons might be hidden among us?
May the Year of the Dragon be your best one yet!
Happy Chinese New Year & Happy Crafting!

I had to put by book aside for a while, but you have inspired me to want to start writing again. I may need to take a break from blogging to accomplish it. Being a magical year for dragons, I suppose I should jump on it starting Feb 10th. Thanks for your friendship, support, and encouragement! All the best & sweet dreams!
