Everything You Need to Know About The Year of the Yin Water Snake

Snakes have a bad reputation in the Western world for many reasons. There's that whole Garden of Eden thing the Snake has on its rap-sheet, but there's also the fact that the critters just don't have any legs. They don't have any fur either. And no cute ears.

Some of them have poisonous venom and all of them have fangs - they have to in order to eat anything. Oh, and did I mention there are snakes that can eat you whole?

I don’t think you have to be a woman to get the willies over snakes. Guys get kind of weird about snakes too. Even Bill Cosby says they make him nervous. Remember his old routine where he is out in the woods and calls out, “Snakes? You out there?”

ANYWAY, 2012’s year of the Dragon is flying away and 2013’s Water Snake is slithering in. I thought you might like to know a bit about what to expect of the energies that are coming your way. The Chinese Lunar New Year begins with the new moon (this is the Rowan Moon) on February 10th. The energies will shift from the dramatic power of the Dragon to a more psychic and sensual energy of the Snake. There will be a blend of energies to come. Here are your heads-ups and low downs:

• Snakes are sneaky. This year, risks will be taken. Illusions will be staged. Stay aware and alert for deception. Do your homework before you sign any legal documents. Keep your antenna up in your relationships. There may be innovative ideas and reforms, but there may also be secret plots and uprisings.
• Compassion will be key, but desire can steal the show. Passions may flare if you feed its fire. Stay aligned with what your heart tells you rather than the whispers of others. If the choice is to be right or to be kind, just be kind.
• A new consciousness is emerging. People are more aware of their connectedness with one another, with the environment, and with the future. Research and development of new technologies will flourish, as will scientists and scholars.
• There will be a tendency towards extravagance and a love of lazing in the sun, but these will not contribute to your bank account. Don’t look for immediate gratification. Build your pot penny by penny and stay within your budget.
• Snakes are always able to provide for their families, and you’ll be able to provide for yours during 2013. There will be enough. Planning ahead is key. Eschew spontaneity this year. The second half of the year will be better financially than the first.
• Though you may want to go crazy with getting into new ventures, take your time and allow for the gestation of your idea to evolve naturally. See your plans as if they are already in form. They do exist once you’ve imagined them. Keep feeding their coming by contributing consistently to their culmination.
• Let go of anything that holds you in the past. Regret, rage, or resentment only block your flow. Let them go! Then you can use that energy to grow.
• The year’s Snake energy is modified by both yin and water energies. Yin energy is receptive, feminine, dark, and cool - like the earth waiting for seeds to be planted. Water energy manifests in your life as your ability to flow through the ocean of people with whom you interact. Manners are important. So is integrity.

The energy for the Water Snake is fire under water. Unless you are a person comfortable with fire, take care when you use it this year. Both fire and water damage metal. Metal underground will be susceptible to damage in 2013. This can manifest in tunnels or building foundations. Storms will stir up where there is warm water and warm moist air. Disasters occur where fire and water meet. There will be more travel and thus, likely, more accidents involving planes, ships, and trains.

In 1953, the last year of the Water Snake, the first color television was sold, Disney’s Peter Pan premiered, and DNA’s double helix structure was discovered. Playboy magazine debuted and the first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, was published. The Korean War ended and Stalin died of a stroke. Queen Elizabeth was crowned. The entertainment industry and science flourished. Peace was restored and a new monarchy begun. Watch for similar energetic results in 2013.

This is a year for planting seeds for your future. Expect to reap the benefits of your efforts in 2014, the year of the Horse. If you don’t prepare the soil and plant your seeds of intention now, you will harvest by default. No choice is a choice.

This is your year of transformation. As you choose to co-create your future, you will undergo a metamorphosis, just as the snake sheds its skin and begins again. The change you spark now with your optimism and enthusiasm can manifest your wildest dreams. If you’re interested in taking your transformation to the highest level possible, you may be interested in my online training, The Art of Living Your Life. A new class is forming now.

     Gung hay fat choy! - which means Best wishes and Congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year!

You're Invited to an Enchanted Midsummer Evening

There's a little place right here in the heart of Houston that contains within it a surprise portal through space and time. Seriously. You've got to come see for yourself.

As you walk into El Pueblito, head straight to the back. You will come to a narrowing of the walls, just past the kitchen, and, as you walk into their bar, you step out of the city and into to the tropics! No Air Traffic Safety pat down, no plane ticket, no drive to the airport! It is as instantaneous as beaming down from the Starship Enterprise.

Come out into the courtyard filled with lush greenery. There you will find a 15 foot waterfall cascading fresh ions into the air, breezy cabanas draped in white linens, brightly colored umbrellas, humming fans, and flaming torches.

To further enhance the magic of this uniquely special night, my most favorite group of musicians, Moodafaruka (meaning The Mood of the Dance) will be on hand to delight you with what they like to call their Nuevoflamencoworldfusionglobalgroovengypsysurf music. As Moodafaruka's erotic, haunting rhythms pulse through your veins, your feet will find a way to move your body. (Hear them at www.moodafaruka.com)

Winners of the Houston Chronicle's Best Original Music Group Choice Award, Rom Ryan and his incredibly talented musicians regularly receive rave reviews. They play often at the Post Oak Grill, 51Fifteen, Hearsay, Rainbow Lodge, and Houston's City Centre Plaza. Their premier appearance at El Pueblito for this special evening guarantees the romance will flow as freely as the soft Summer breezes.

You're invited to meet me there in this enchanted place to celebrate Midsummer with cold beverages, sizzling seafood, fabulous fajitas, and extraordinary entertainment beneath the stars, the palappas, and 40 foot tall red-twinkle light wrapped palm trees. Dress casual and cool. Think of this as a mini-vacation, no passport required. (www.elpueblitopatio.com)

I invite you to round up your friends and join me on Saturday, July 14th 7-10 pm for an Enchanted Midsummer Evening at El Pueblito at 1423 Richmond Avenue. Park your car around the block in the neighborhood to the south and walk through Mandell Park to the restaurant, or valet park for just $5 at the door. There is some parking in the lot east of the lot east of the restaurant, but I caution you to heed the parking and no parking signs. They are serious about towing.

Eduardo, our gracious host, knows we're coming, but not how many of us will appear, so if you will let me know how many friends you're bringing (email: trishakeel@tomorrowskey.com), he can be sure there is enough beer, plenty of margarita makings - and yes, I have done my research  ; )   - and an abundance of their tantalizing treats all to be enhanced by Moodafaruka's extraordinarily evocative music. It's Summer! Let's get together and celebrate the season! I will see you there!

Trisha's Magical Mystical Healing Cookies
Especially for Your Inner and Outer Child

I recently made up a batch of my famous cookies for my cousin and, after typing up the recipe for him and other cousins, I thought you might like to have it too. Please understand that you can make cookies from any recipe, but if you want these cookies to deliver the magic of healing your body, mind, and spirit, you must follow the instructions with clear intentions and a light heart. All ingredients are heart healthy and stirred together with lots of love.

First of all you must be in a serene and happy frame of mind so you don't stir anxiety into the mix.

Next, turn on some sweet music. Center yourself within your heart and consciously turn up your love light so you can feel the energy coming down your arms and into your hands, which are 
both extensions of your heart. 


Note: Get milk in the house beforeyou start. 


All ingredient amounts can go over if you are specifically adding generosity to your end result. 


Get a big bowl and have a silver surfaced cookie sheet ready, along with cookie racks for cooling. 


First, cream together 2 1/2 - 3 sticks of salted butter, 3/4 c dark brown sugar, 1/2 c turbinado (raw sugar), 2 large brown organic cage free eggs, and 2+ tsps of real vanilla. 


Add to this creamy mixture 1 1/2 c whole wheat flour, 1 heaping tsp baking soda (to lift the weight of the whole grains), 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg (make sure your spices are less than a year old). Stir with a wooden spoon while dancing to the music (feet must be moving, hips must be swaying). Yes, seriously. 


Finally add 2 c whole Old Fashioned Oats (NOT the Quick oats!), an entire bag of whole pecans (less than a year old), and an entire large bag of Nestle's semisweet chocolate chips. You'll need your mixer for this conglomeration of cookie goodness. Just make sure that everything is pretty evenly distributed and you're good to go. 


The beaters are meant to be licked clean and smiles shared along with thank yous. 


Scoop the dough with visions of love for the persons you know will be enjoying them. 


Drop heaping soup spoons of the mix onto your ungreased cookie sheet. Cook at 375° for about 15 minutes. Place them on the cooling racks before transferring them to your cookie jar. 


Bonus Round: For a great breakfast on the run, switch the pecans and chocolate for walnuts and craisins - also some serious NUM!! 


The addition of the intentions, emotions, and love are required for the best flavor and healing results.
