Stop Watching All of those French-inspired Films: Go Wash Your Dishes

Following up on my Saturday-morning post about Valentine's Day, I kept hitting the remote and discovered the TCM channel was running a marathon of old French-inspired movies. I kept thinking, "Okay, watch this and then go find something to do... " The line-up was Casablanca, Midnight in Paris, GiGi, and Charade. I love all four of these movies for different reasons.

Write your intention or resolution on a piece of paper or write one word on a bay leaf. Light the paper or sage leaf and let it go. Light a stick of incense and give it as an offering. Utter a prayer inside over a candle with calming or spiritual music in the background. Utter a prayer outside singing it unto the winds or to the moon. 

 The word "love" explains it all.
