Greetings!,
While I was at the recent Conscious Design conference in New Jersey, I was pleased to see attendees from many modalities who were interested in Sacred Design. Not only people who specialize in Feng Shui, Sacred Geometry, and Bau-biologie™, but also representatives of the American Institute of Architects, American Society of Interior Designers and US Green Building Council, the organization that certifies LEED® built buildings. Change was in the air and everyone was excited.
And speaking of LEED, I'm excited to announce that Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing achieved its LEED Gold designation last month. It is the first building in South Florida to achieve this designation, and the first to include design based on the principles of Feng Shui. It was exciting for all of us on the design team to be on the cutting edge of the marriage of Feng Shui and LEED. Both concepts were included throughout the design process, from building shape to interiors, landscape, furnishings and blessing ceremonies. The building's visitors remark at how wonderful it feels - a true reward of this partnership of LEED and the Sacred Design concepts of Feng Shui!
Another new item --Stephanie McWilliams is the host of the new HGTV 'Fun Shui' program that airs at 9:30 p.m. on Fridays (check your local calendars elsewhere). If you'd like this program to continue, go to HGTV.com and register your comments.
I am always thankful for you, my clients, friends and subscribers. As we approach the holiday season, it is my wish for your continued good health, peace of mind, and prosperity in all areas of life.
With Abundant Blessings,
Carol Cannon

Nourish Your Soul During the Holidays
 We are approaching the end of the harvest, traditionally celebrated at Thanksgiving. As we move into December, our days will be shorter, with the shortest day of the year coming on the Winter Solstice, December 22. In the Chinese Five Element theory, we are moving into the element of Water. This symbolizes a time of introspection and a time of inner self-analysis, which is sometimes difficult during the many activities of the holiday season.

 Holiday Gift Ideas
Over the years I've moved toward giving gifts that will bring improved health or increased harmony to the recipient. Here are a few gift ideas that follow this philosophy to consider giving this season.

 Meet Our Team: Diane Gallin
Diane Gallin is a certified Feng Shui consultant and founder of Wind and Water Feng Shui Consulting. She began her Feng Shui journey in 1990 while designing an addition to her home. A student of history, she clearly recognized the association between the ancient Chinese art of placement and the people whose lives are impacted by their surroundings. After successful careers in Human Resources and Corporate Communications, she now devotes her time to teaching and applying the principles of Feng Shui to modern buildings, homes, and communities. She conducts private residential and commercial consultations, workshops for corporate gatherings, and lectures to professional organizations and groups of all sizes.

| November Book Reviews from Carol Cannon
Tibetan Cooking: Recipes for Daily Living, Celebration & Ceremony
by Elizabeth Esther Kelly
I had the good fortune to meet Elizabeth and purchase her book. My fond memories of visiting Tibet included enjoying its food. Elizabeth is a 30-year practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism who is married to a Tibetan carpet master. Her recipe book is simple to follow, with descriptions that tie Tibetan food back to its spiritual essence. If you enjoy tofu and often try to find new recipes, this book will provide ideas. Don't worry if you are not a vegetarian - there are many great recipes to satisfy you, too!
Simplify Your Christmas: 100 Ways to Reduce the Stress and Recapture the Joy of the Holidays
by Elaine St. James
I have owned this book for a number of years, and I like to begin reading it around this time of year. While our society puts a lot of emphasis on the material side of the holidays, this book provides ideas that I enjoy adding (or subtracting!?) to the holidays each year. Try some and start on the path to a happier and healthier holiday season!
