When I woke up this morning, the temperature on the thermometer read two degrees below zero. Obviously I don’t live in Florida.

So anyway, this morning I made some coffee and went to sit down near one of the windows to sit in the sun when I was hit by a cold draft. Now, I’m blogging well away from the windows at my computer, and I got thinking about window blinds or shades that could help insulate around the windows in the winter. I was thinking something along the lines of the half inch cellular shades that I found on the Just Blinds website. The prices looked fairly reasonable and the selection was, to me, quite varied. Just Blinds had cellular shades in three thicknesses and like twelve colors per model. So they should fit just about any space.

If cellular shades aren’t your thing, Just Blinds also carries Roman Shades, Wooden Shades, Shutters, Pleated Shades & More. If you’re not trying to save heat this season there are all sorts of different shade styles for you and your space. Check out the selection and let me know what you think.

As an aikidoka, I found an immediate connection with the Sedona Method. The founders, Lester Levenson and Hale Dwoskin, promote the Sedona Method as a path towards creating a new earth through simple, powerful, and easy-to-learn techniques that shows you how to uncover your natural ability to surrender – or let go. But wait, how do you get anywhere if you let go? That all depends on what you let go of, ego is one good thing to surrender. Pain is another. The Sedona Method, much like some aikido practice emphasizes this, and they can teach you how to be aware of the things that we all hold onto. Those types of hang ups usually impair our progress in life.

The Sedona Method has seminars and classes on a regular basis. You get hands on teaching with people that have made an active change in their behavior and who want to help spread a better way.
