Virtue of the MonthTolerance: “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to understanding of ourselves”— Carl Jung. Tolerance helps us to accept differences and frees us from being judgmental. It is recognizing that all people have feelings, needs, hopes and dreams. Tolerance is an appreciation for diversity, whether of culture or temperament. It leads to unity. It is being patient and forgiving when others make mistakes, while calling on discernments to know when to stand up for justice. Tolerance is accepting things that we wish were different with humor and grace. It allows us to embrace the pain as well as the joys of life. The Practice of Tolerance: I appreciate differences. I free myself from prejudice. I refrain from judging myself or others. I forgive mistakes. I accept what I cannot change. I balance acceptance with justice. Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of Tolerance. It broadens my horizons. Virtues Connection Portland invites you to a one-day retreat on August 16 in Netarts Bay, Oregon.

Summer Entertaining—Tips for a Beautiful Deck!Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, we yearn for those lazy days of summer. Before relaxation begins, staying on top of your deck’s condition is key. In order to keep your deck in good shape, it’s suggested to re-seal or re-stain it on a yearly basis. If your deck is in need of some TLC, follow the steps below to get it back into shape. Your first decision is to select your stain. Your choices are solid color stains or semi-transparent. Semi-transparent stains give you the real look of wood with excellent protection. If you’re deck is still in pretty good shape this is the route to go. For decks that are a bit more worn, solid color stains are going to be easier to apply, and give you the best protection against mildew, fading and UV rays. Before staining you will need to make sure your deck is appropriately prepared. If your plan is to apply a solid color, it won’t be necessary for you to completely strip your deck, a simple wash down with a good deck stain removal product and you’ll be good to go. If you want to use a semi-transparent, you’ll need to get ALL the old stain off. However, the best way to remove old stain is to use a belt sander and sand down the surface of your deck until you achieve your desired results. Clean your deck of unwanted debris with light amount of deck cleaner and a hose. When you get down to a good clean base, let your deck dry a day or two after washing then apply the stain product of your choice. After you’ve established an even base of stain, your simple yearly maintenance will just consist of a light wash using a hose or power washer and the application of a transparent sealer.

Organizing Solutions, A Room for FamilyIs it the den, family room, living area, media room, or multi-purpose room?—the room that’s the epicenter and gathering place in your home. No matter what you call it, this room gets a lot of use, and a little bit of organization can ensure it functions well to meet the needs of your family. TV and media storage is a common struggle for families. Many homes have built in storage cabinets to house the TV and its many components, and other homeowners purchase furniture units to serve this purpose. Unfortunately, most of these units are not large enough for the quantity of media we have today. Here are a few things you can do to manage and maintain your media. Evaluate what is current. Technology is changing so fast that what we have stored can easily become outdated or irrelevant. As you sort through your collections of media or electronic components, remove the ones you no longer need or use. Create workable storage. Shelving that is designed specifically for DVDs or CDs is great for housing these items, but you may not have space to add these furniture pieces to your home. There are several other ways to add effective storage. Pull out shelves can be added to deep cabinets, so no items are hidden in the back of the cabinet. DVD binders, which are designed to hold multiple DVDs and their paper jacket covers, take up much less space than the original bulky plastic case. Baskets or small decorative containers are wonderful to hold cables, remotes and smaller electronics, so the items remain easily accessible. When choosing the method of storage, it is important to keep in mind that the harder it is to get at something, the less likely someone will make the effort to put it away. Decide on the level of organization—remember that everyone’s idea of organization is different, and so is their level of commitment to maintaining it. You might consider grouping your DVDs or CDs by genre or just separating out the kids’ items from the grownups’. Make sure that your level of organization is easy to maintain by all who use those items. Second Nature HealingRosemary’s Natural Healing Solutions is now Second Nature Healing.
