Today is February 19, 2015! It is Chinese New Year! A big season for me and my Kung Fu family. We are exiting the year of the horse (blagh!) and entering the year of the Wood Sheep! Wood is the last of the five elements in Chinese philosophy, symbolizing the sheep's full cycle. Wood represents balance so this year will be an energy fulfilling a balance of prosperity and longevity!
It will be a year full of kindness and compassion. It is a year to develop a wild heart, open to love and acceptance on all levels. It is a year to express your creative side. People born in the year of the sheep, as my brother Eric is, are very artistic and seek more solidarity for peace. Now is the time for us for artistic development and cultivation of beauty.
The year of the Sheep also values intimacy, family, and close-friendships. We can be more caring, gentle, and sensitive with each other. We could all use a little more love and put a little more love into our world and with each other. It's going to be a fantastic year. I already feel and experience it. Moving forward is going to be great.
In fact, someone told me yesterday when I went to Yee's Hung Ga for the Lion Dance, that sheep cannot move sideways or backwards, they can only move forward. So this is a year to move forward in all projects and goals that will see fruition and longevity, as such is life moving forward as well. Let that energy carry you on for this upcoming year.
I also want to acknowledge both Sifu and Simo because today is a special occasion not only for Chinese New Year but the fact that it falls on BOTH of their birthdays which is TODAY! Happy Birthday Sifu and Simo, with much love, blessings, and laughs!
