Hi there!
When I first came across this article, I was quite confused….not quite sure what a money frog was. Those of you more familiar with Feng Shui probably do! I did find this article quite interesting! Enjoy, Love, Sister Bridget
Feng Shui Money Frog
The Money Frog, also known as the three legged toad or “Chan Chu” in Chinese is probably the most auspicious symbol of money-making. This mythical creature is said to appear every full moon near homes that will receive good news of increased wealth or monetary gain. The Money Frog is used for attracting wealth and abundance and can often be seen near cash registers, receptions, managers' desk and offices in Oriental countries.
Often portrayed sitting on a bed of treasure made up of gold ingots, coins and jewels and bearing a coin in its mouth, the Money Frog is a wonderful symbol for wealth and career luck and for the patriarch of the family. The Money Frog is also always seen biting on two strings of coins and with 7 dots on its back, depicting the Ursa Major (Great North Pole 7 Stars). A must for those who wish to multiply their wealth!
Here is how you can use the Money Frogs to Feng Shui your way to a better life.
1. Place this wonderful creature it in the wealth sector (South East) of your living room or office to magnify your windfall luck and enhance the income of the residents.
2. Place two Money Frogs: One inside your front door facing inwards symbolizes money coming in to your home of business and the other facing outward to collect the money.
3. For those involved in jobs where there is the opportunity to earn commission or side income, display a money frog next to your desk or diagonally opposite the front door to your home.
4. The best number of Money Frogs to have in your living room or garden is nine because it represents bringing in money from all directions of the compass. Place them randomly and discreetly under your table, behind the sofa, below the coffee table etc. Ensure that each Money Frog faces a different direction of the compass in the living room and one near your front door hopping inward to bring in lots of wealth and money. If nine is not possible, three or six are good numbers too.
Note: NEVER keep money frogs in the bedroom, toilets or kitchen.

This is a photo of some cookies made by and sent to me by my mother, Mambo Sam. These cookies were very very special, and they certainly helped me feel much better. Thank you, MaMere.

Hi there!
Here is a new photo album I posted of some photos from my local cemetery. It may sound a bit weird, I know. But the cemetary is quite old, and has been active for more than 250 years! Stones and markers vary greatly, and I really found some of them interesting. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, so I hope you enjoy!
Love,
Sister Bridget
This photo is from HIghgate Cemetary in England, not where I live…I could not resist the dog on the stone. though.

Hi there!
This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun! To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.
We Shall Overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
Darling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day
Darling, here in my heart
I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand some day
Here we are not afraid
We are not afraid
We shall overcome some day
Darling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
Darling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
Here we shall overcome some day.
The You of You
There is a power within you that is greater than the world. If you let it, it will sustain you, expand you, and fill you with joy.
This power is closer than hands and feet; it is nearer and dearer to you than your own breath.
It is invisible, silent, and immeasurable.
All names for it are vague. All descriptions of it are inaccurate.
It transcends everything you can possibly know about it.
In the following lines, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the essayist and poet, who lived in the 1800s referred to it as instinct:
"All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."
Today, we would probably translate "instinct" to mean "intuition" or "awareness."
Our basic helplessness in trying to describe it is because it is not a thing, an object, either abstract or concrete, that can be classified. Instead, it is a transcendent, extraordinary experience that expresses itself in an ordinary way. It subtle nature escapes language.
The power within you that can be spoken of is not the power that exists; for like the wind, it cannot be caught; and like the ocean, it can never be grasped.
It is not the mind, but beyond the mind.
This awareness that is you, this sentient understanding, this all encompassing consciousness, it is magnificence itself.
And the sweetest thing about this understanding, is that it is the you of you, the immensity of you.
There is nothing more intimate, nothing more reassuring, and nothing more exhilarating than this inner presence.
Civilizations may come and go, you may trade one body after another, and yet this essence of you, this pure energetic consciousness, will only continue to expand in its awareness.
When confronted with the lie of the world, it is truth; when intimidated by misfortune and adversity, it is strength; and when impoverished by lack, it is abundance.
You are the quintessence of power and beauty and truth; for who you are is this power that never sleeps, this awareness that never ceases, this brilliance that never dims.
You are the light of the world, an emanation of pure energy, unrestricted consciousness wrapped in layers of skin and bones, illusions and misconceptions.
When you finally understand who you are, really are inside, there can be only one possible response: a spontaneous burst of happiness that has no limits.
You are the unbounded potentiality, and who you think you are is not even close to who you really are inside.
The purpose of life is simply this: to discover the you of you.
