2010 - The Year Of The Tiger
According to Chinese Five Element Astrology Calendar, 2010 is the Year of Metal Tiger. Gold is related to Metal and money. People who like to talk about wealth will say that 2010 is a Golden Tiger year. In Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) theory, the color representing metal is White. Therefore, we also can say that 2010 is the Year of White Tiger. So what’s in store for you this year, according to Chinese Astrology? Here is a brief, and let me stress, just a brief. If may be true, or may not be true, but here is what our findings tell us:
When Rat people meet Tiger year, they will be running around all the time. This is because Tiger is the Travel Star to Rat In Chinese Horoscope. This implies that Rat people will be busy in 2010 and might have to travel more or work far away for their jobs. Since they might work longer hours or overtime, they will feel lonely especially while traveling. If Rat people need to drive on work, then they have to drive carefully to prevent trouble related to law. Rat people need to use more brainpower for the daily activity during the spring. But they will gain help and support after summer.
When Cow meets Tiger, Tiger will ignore Cow's existence. But Cow people better stay alert. Basically, Cow people have a smooth year in 2010. But they still have to pay attention to safety during their work hours to prevent any accidents. Something related to your performance, reputation, and/or people relationship will happen first. This will determine your career luck in the second half of the year. Cow people's love relationship is pretty good in 2010. Women have better romantic relationship luck than men. Married women have a hard time taking care of their children, husband and career all together. Health luck is great too. You shouldn't have any major issues with your health in 2010. Money luck is also good. Cow people still have to watch their financial management to avoid any unexpected money loss.
Chinese say one mountain cannot abide two tigers. That means there can only have one king in the nation. Tiger is a vigorous and ferocious animal. One Tiger is a symbol of power and authority. Two Tigers mean fighting for power. The loser will become powerless. Therefore, it's a taboo for Tiger people meet the Tiger of zodiac year. This implies 2010 is not a good year for Tiger people. Friendship, love relationship, money management, career position or power competition might be damaged in 2010. In short, try to seek for no mistake, but not expecting major prosperity in year of Tiger.
Rabbit is swift, agile, tricky, and always alert. Therefore Rabbit can survive in the Tiger's kingdom. 2010 is Metal Tiger year. Metal brings pressure on Rabbit. But Rabbit can become more confident when Tiger is around. This is a fair year to Rabbit people. There are no strong lucky signs shown in the career and money area, but the opportunity still exists. It's required to have the wisdom to catch it. Health shouldn't have any problem, because a lucky Sun Star connected with health in 2010. Women have better love opportunity or relationship than men. Rabbit people need to follow the rules and watch their words and deeds to avoid the damage in business, people or love relationships.
Dragon and Tiger have their powers on their own territory. When Dragon meets Tiger, they respect each other. They usually don't fight unless different animals have affinity relationship with them. That means Dragon won't get any benefit from Tiger. This implies the fortune of most Dragon people in 2010 is fair. Also, this Metal Tiger year brings more Unlucky Stars than Lucky Stars to Dragon people. Therefore, Dragon people need to stay alert on their investments, keep focusing on their daily work, and watch their words and behaviors in their social life to avoid any indiscretion to cause money loss. There is no Love Sign showing for Dragon people in 2010. The health of Dragon people in the Tiger year will be fine, but they need to pay more attention on the health of family members.
Snake and Tiger don't fight face to face. But Snake and Tiger cannot get along too well. This implies that Snake's public relationship is very poor in 2010, year of Tiger. Poor people relationship will impact career opportunity, business promotion and love relationship. Therefore, Snake people will lack a peaceful mind and happy mood in 2010. Some Lucky Stars gather in Love area. Snake people need to avoid any argument with boy/girl friends, spouse, close family members or business partners. They must control their temper and emotion when things go wrong. Otherwise, it will be very easy to lose friendships, love, business relationships or career opportunities.
Horse people didn't have a great luck last two years. 2010 is a turning point year. There are three Lucky Stars coming into Horse people life in the same time. They are Power Star, Scholarship Star and Financial Star. That means career opportunity; good reputation and money luck are pretty good in the year of Tiger. Plus, people and love relationships are good in 2010. The only bad news for Horse people is that the villains are still around. Since you have good income, they are quite interested in your money. Therefore, do not cover the small profit, otherwise it will return to you as a big money loss. Then it follows up with an argument or poor health.
Sheep people shouldn't have had any great fortune in 2009, year of Cow. This is because Cow and Sheep have a fighting relationship, which brings very poor luck to people. In 2010, year of Tiger, there are many Lucky Stars coming into Sheep people's life. Those signs shows Sheep people have good career luck, people relationship, financial status and love relationship in 2010. However, when Sheep meets Tiger, sheep always have pressure. Therefore, Sheep people need to become smarter and act stronger during the Tiger year. Then 2010 will be an easy year for them.
Monkey is too active, so Tiger doesn't like Monkey. Tiger and Monkey have fighting relationship in Chinese horoscope. This is not a good sign for Monkey people in 2010. There is a Travel Star coming in the year of Tiger. That implies that you will be busy for your work, your business or your people relationship all year long. Your busy schedule doesn't guarantee a good return from your time and energy, because an unstable sign is there. Some other Unlucky Stars also come to Monkey people. There is money luck from salary, but with a sign of money loss. The love relationship is up and down. Since Monkey people will have more outdoor activities, they have to pay attention the safety while traveling or driving. Fortunately, one Lucky Helper Star also appearing in year of Tiger. Hopefully, Monkey people can find someone to help when they encounter a big trouble.
The lucky Purple Star and Dragon Star come for Rooster people in 2010. They indicate that power; support and leadership may fall upon your shoulders. This is a very good sign for your career; there is a chance of promotion or even pay raise. Therefore, money luck comes after career. Your wealth will increase mainly from your salary, not from the easy investment. However, there is an Unlucky Loss Star hiding in the corner. That means there is a chance of failure because of your mistake or negligence. In the year of Metal Tiger, the personality of Rooster people will become more domineering, arrogant and irritable. This makes it easy to have arguments with Rooster people. The social relationship is very important for Rooster people in this year. The poor people relationship might turn the fortune of Tiger year into a different direction. Therefore, Rooster people need to watch their words and deeds in 2010.
In 2009, Dog and Cow have fighting relationship. Dog people shouldn't have good people relationship in year of Cow. The fortune of 2010 for Dog people is fair because there is no major Lucky Star coming. But 2010 is the time for Dog people to show their talent to others. Dog people don't have to push themselves too much for higher expectation. They can do things slowly but surely to prevent any mistakes that may cause additional loss. Building better people relationships is the key to enhance money luck and release career pressure.
Pig is a lucky animal in Chinese horoscope. When Pig meets Tiger, they can get along pretty well. That means the people relationship is excellent for Pig people in the year of Tiger. The Intelligent Star and Sky Helper Star arrive to Pig people life. Both career luck and money luck are pretty good. Love relationship is even better. There is a marriage chance for single Pig people. There is no health issue for Pig people in 2010.

To Sharm Parents
I was fortunate enough to become a parent, and what I can say so far is, parenting is a tough job – tougher than any other job, let alone in a place like Sharm, with all its diversities. With this mind, I did a little bit of research. I spent the last 2 weeks having chats with different parents about what their take on parenting in Sharm is like. It was very interesting what I learnt.

My Daughter My Love
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
(Solomon Ibn Gabirol)
Daughters warm your heart.
From the day they are born until the day you hand them over into someone else’s care.
A daughter is truly a blessing, a gift from God.
What do you do when a nervous young man asks your permission to marry your angel?
When you know her heart and wings have already flown into his nest. When you know this nervous young man is worthy of her love? You rejoice.
The happiness you feel is twofold, the first is recognition that she has finally grown up and chosen a partner to accompany her on the most important journey of her life.

IF LOVE IS THE ANSWER CAN YOU PLEASE REPEAT THE QUESTION?
I hold it true, what’er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most, ‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all’
(Alfred Lord Tennyson)
Do you believe in the saying:
“It is Better to Have Loved and Lost, then Never to Have Loved at all?”
To love or not to love? To lose or not to lose a love?
Both of the above have little relevance, none of us choose to fall in love and none of us would choose to lose a love.
Two of life’s greatest treasures, love and friendship.

Personalized Marketing
"Hello (enter your name here) welcome back to the GAP. We have your size of jeans on sale this week." Sounds like a scene from the Tom Cruise movie, "Minority Report," but this type of futuristic personalized marketing is not as far away as many people may think, and even better, it’s coming to you, right here in Sharm. It’s always easier to sell something to someone, when you know who they are, what they like, what they don’t like, and what they have purchased before, from you or from someone else. Personalized marketing makes it cheaper and easier for businesses to reach their target audience. All you need is access to the right people, with the right information, and the right technology.

To Sinai With Love
I am sat here at my computer, pondering what I can write about, considering it is the, what I like to call - the red season. This is the time of year, where every Made in China product, starts to turn red. Red flowers, red teddies, red rabbits, red ribbons, red roses, red chocolates, red cheeks, red lace lingerie, and so on and so forth. So I have decided that this article is dedicated to St. Valentine’s, but in a different way. It’s not about how to celebrate a day with sappy couchy, mouchy, love stuff. It’s not about how to influence the mind of consumers by making them feel that Feb. 14th is a day where one is obliged to show their partner how much they are loved. Well, what if on that exact day, one doesn’t feel like love.

It Can Always Be Worse
I took a drive around Sharm the morning after the storm, thinking that what I had been through was the worst ever. My house was leaking all night, my windows were shattered, my car almost drowned, and outside my house was all muddy.
I had mixed feelings – there was a sense of sorrow, yet a strange sense of happiness in myself – it was almost like I was happy I went through something like that and survived. I grew up in Kenya, where it used to rain a lot – most of April, and the day always keep going on normally. Less than 12 hours of rain here left me feeling like my world was almost tumbling down.

When do you know enough is enough?
Hello Muriel,
When do you know enough is enough? I mean form every aspect, dealing
with clients at work, or dealing with a partner, or a mother with a
kid - when do you draw the line because you just cant take it anymore?
Do you keep trying to make things work, or is that an illusion? Do you
listen to your gut, or do you listen to your mind. When is enough,
enough?
Thanks,
Thomas
Hello Thomas,
Sounds like you have already reached the end of your tolerance level.
Once you start feeling like a door mat, frustrated, nervous and as if no one is listening to you, it is probably because they are not listening to you.

Raja Yoga
Raja Yoga is codified from esoteric practices that are thousands of years old. It has developed several branches to accommodate different personality styles. The major yogas are Bhakti (a devotional approach that opens the heart, it is best for those who are primarily emotionally-oriented), Jnana (an intellectual approach that leads to wisdom, it is best for those who are primarily mentally-oriented), Karma (an active, service-oriented approach, it is best for those who are more extroverted and who find meaning mostly through relationship),
