Virtue of the Month: Love
 "Love is patient; love is kind... it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" (The Holy Bible, First Corinthians, 137).
Love is at the center of our being. It is the vital force that gives us energy and direction. It connects one heart with another.
The practice of love: I allow myself to connect deeply. I commit myself wholeheartedly. I show love through acts of kindness. I accept and appreciate the ones I love. I do the work on myself that love requires. I cherish the loves of my life.
Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of Love. It is my treasury. (Linda Kavelin Popov, Virtues Reflection Card). Brought to you by www.virtuesconnectionportland.com. Like them on Facebook for their latest updates.

2013 Design Tips
Teal! Not exactly blue, not exactly green, but a glorious mix of the two. On the brighter side, it can be used in traditional and contemporary settings. Add it to your décor with accessories such as pillows, candles and towels, or be bold and paint a room or accent wall.
The sofa is the main focal point for your great room, family room or living room and it sets the tone for your whole home. When you select your sofa be sure to consider the style, shape, fabric and scale. Take care that it fits with the rest of your home and lifestyle. No matter how great a sofa looks, make sure that it is well made, durable and comfortable. Find one with a strong frame (hardwoods are best) and with cushions that aren't too hard or too soft. Down-filled cushions are cozy, but can be difficult to get up from. Foam filling is supportive and less expensive, but not as luxurious. The best choice is a combination of a foam core, with a down-filled cover.

When paper attacks
From time to time we all struggle with the amount of paper and mail we get. There are bills, articles, magazines, announcements—piles of paper. Not only do we get physical paper that needs to be organized and dealt with, but we also receive a large quantity of emails to process. It seems harder than ever to stay ahead of the influx. Don’t let these messages take over your life or your space.
Learn how to manage all the papers and emails, find out which ones are important to save, and the best way to keep them. Local Professional Organizer, Beth Giles of NW Organizing Solutions will be presenting “Controlling Paper Clutter” on Wednesday, February 13 at 6:45 pm at the Cedar Mill Library. Sign up today to reserve your spot by emailing beth@nworganizingsolutions.com or calling 503-709-0791.
