Zentertainment Talk Radio #29

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving week!

As I sit here writing this, it is cold, wet and rainy outside. I am thinking of lighting a fire in the fireplace. I could use some warm apple cider....

**************************************
1 gallon apple cider
4 whole cinnamon sticks
3 tsp brown sugar
2 whole cloves

Pour apple cider in crockpot, add spices and turn crockpot to low. Cider is ready when hot.

Notes: Enjoy as a warm drink for the holidays!

This year has brought many things. Challenges, moves, transitions, learning, praying, struggling, and laughter too. Around Thanksgiving, we usually are encouraged to spend this time reflecting on all we are thankful for. Well, I know many of you are going through difficult challenges in your lives. Maybe being thankful feels tough.

Write down something that is really hard for you right now in your life. Write about the reasons it is hard, what it is like to face this thing. Let it all out.

Now take that list and find one small thing, one pearl of something good that has come out of that adversity. Write it down.

Believe me, I am not talking about erasing the challenge, diminishing the true tests it has brought or even denial. No this is not denial at all. But just look closely, and see if you notice one good thing that has come from something that feels very difficult.

Have you ever been somewhere and gotten lost, only to realize that you discovered something new and wonderful while you were lost? Maybe you stumbled upon a new restaurant, store, a hidden walkway, met a stranger who became a friend, or even discovered a hidden talent within yourself.

While there is great value in knowing where we are going, I think it is sometimes when we get lost that we find the true way.

What am I grateful for? That I am alive, for my wonderful husband, my family, my friends, my cat, my gorgeous piano, my computer, my camera, that I have food to eat, a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep in, that I have clean water to drink and bathe in, that I have music and art, photography and creativity, passion, hope. I am grateful for having a car to drive, for where I live, for the choices I have. That I can walk and hear. And so much more...

What about you? What are you challenges? And what are you thankful for?

This week I wanted to air a show that is about harmony. I wanted to give you a head start on some new tools to work with for this coming year.

In this new episode of Zentertainment Talk Radio, you will learn about how feng shui can help you balance the energy in your home, bring you success at work, help to restore harmony in relationships and even sleep better. You will learn some tips on what you need to know before buying or renting a new home. You can get the commercialized version of feng shui from many books and lectures, or listen to this episode of Zentertainment Talk Radio to hear and learn from a true feng shui master.

Born in Hong Kong, Pun Yin was taught Feng Shui by her father, Master Tin Sun from the age of ten. Master Tin Sun has studied and practiced Feng Shui for over fifty years, ten of which he apprenticed in a Chinese temple in Canton, China. The Tin Sun lineage, authentically passed down to Master Pun Yin, makes her one of the very few Feng Shui practitioners in the West trained in the classical traditions – requiring an apprenticeship of more than a decade.

Pun Yin has worked for Donald Trump, (She brought feng shui to one of his projects, and construction was completed one year ahead of schedule), The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, and many others! Find out how you can meet Pun Yin and get a consultation for you or your family:

This episode is sponsored by one of my favorite places in NYC, the 1871 House B&B/Inn.

If you are looking for wonderful holiday gifts, consider a consultation with Pun Yin! If you happen to be visiting NYC, enjoy a stay at the 1871 House.... And lastly, you can now order my holiday CD "Merry Christmas & Happy New York!" Available on the store page at www.Zentertainment.org

Have a great Thanksgiving week, and THANK YOU for being a part of this show!
