Dear Cheryl,
Falling in Love

The autumnal equinox falls (no pun intended) on September 23rd, a day when we have three great events for you to enjoy. In fact, we have so much going on at The Blissful Soul this month that we have to remind ourselves that the Equinox is a time to focus on balance. We have five great events on the calendar, including: Autumn Herbs, Feng Shui, a book signing, free concert and authentic communication.

We also have our entire line of Hot Summer Clothing on SALE for 25% off, plus 50% off selected titles of books, while they last. Get an extra 10% off by mentioning this email (just say "EMAIL SPECIAL.")

As the length of the day and night come into balance, the equinox is a great time to take some quiet time to balance out our busy, busy lives. Lara Johnson's music will provide a soothing backdrop, and Stan Smith's evocative discourses on authentic communication invite quiet introspection. We hope to see you here, whenever you need a moment to chill!

Kirsten Schilling Stackhouse returns to the Blissful Soul for an Autumnal Equinox Herb Class on Sunday, September 17 at 4 pm. We'll learn:
  1. *How to make a Victorian-style herbarium
  2. *How to use a tabletop still
  3. *About endangered herbs in the US
Kirsten will also give us recipes for using fall herbs.

Please join us! RSVP by Saturday, September 16. Class fee is $18, including handouts.

Kartar
Join us for "Good Feng Shui: Being at the Right Place at the Right Time is EVERYTHING" with Kartar Diamond on Tuesday, September 19 from 7 to 8 pm. Feng Shui has been a trendy topic for some time, but few of us really understand how we can use the ancient principles to improve our surroundings for better health and abundance.

Kartar Diamond says that timing is a critical factor in a proper Feng Shui diagnosis. Did you know that the time WHEN you apply Feng Shui remedies can make a huge difference in their effectiveness?

She also says that "location, location, location" is not just the mantra of the real estate industry. Find out how a compass can be your best friend!

The event is FREE, but your RSVP is appreciated. Call 323-258-6900 or email us at cheryl@blissfulsoul.com to let us know you're coming.

Urban Shaman Stan Smith continues his series on Authentic Communication, called "Beyond Gossip," on Saturday, September 23 from 3 to 6 pm. Come learn how to hear all that is being communicated to us.

Stan says that "Gossip and talking destroy speech and subvert true perception. The antidote is true speech...to say what we know to be true...." Session cost is $20.
Falling in Love
Author Monica Morris will present and sign copies of her book Falling In Love Again: The Mature Woman's Guide to Finding Romantic Fulfillment on Saturday, September 23 from 6 to 7 pm. Like millions of women, social psychologist Dr. Monica Morris found herself unexpectedly single late in life. The road wasn't an easy one, but Dr Morris found her way to a new love. In Falling in Love Again, Dr. Morris shares not only her experiences but also the knowledge she gained along the way, providing a wide-ranging and empowering resources for all women who are looking for companionship and romance.

Monica will be available through the Lara Johnson concert (see next article) following the book signing. Make it an evening of prose and song!
Lara Johnson
On Saturday, September 23 from 7 to 9 pm, Lara Johnson will perform selections from her Emerging CD, a collection of original, soulful music on piano and vocals. Lara's roots are in Georgia, but her songs were born in Los Angeles. As an artist and performer, her style is earthy and natural, inspirational and fun. Lara's music is very lyrically driven, a soulful blend of piano and vocals. She has been deeply involved with music since an early age, and her original songs are an expression of her passion for life.

You can sample Lara's music by visiting her MySpace website. This is our tenth outdoor concert since opening just 18 months ago. If you enjoy live music, please come join us for an evening of beautiful music under the stars. We need your support to continue this amazing series featuring our local composers and performers.
Crystal Ball
We get a lot of calls asking for recommendations for everything from tarot card readers to dog sitters, and we do have some great people to recommend. We decided to compile our suggestions on our website, for easy reference. Check out our new Artists & Experts tab on our website. We will be adding more people and more information all the time, so check back often.

We also know that calling upon a stranger for assistance can make us feel uneasy. You can rest assured that we have checked out everyone that we recommend. Many of them have offered classes or other events at the store, and most of them will also meet for private sessions in the secure environment of The Blissful Soul Reading Room. We can't guarantee any particular results, of course, but every Artist, Author or Expert recommended on our website has The Blissful Soul Seal of Authenticity. Feel free to call us at the store if you need additional information about any of our recommendations. If you book with one of them, let us know what you think!

Final note: now that the kids are back in school, we are back on 'regular hours':

  • 9am to 8 pm, Monday thru Friday
  • 10am to 6 pm Saturdays
  • Noon to 4 pm on most Sundays
  • And for special events

As always, we have GREAT PARKING available:

  • Weekdays between 1:00 and 3:00
  • Saturdays 1:00 to 6:00
  • Sundays Noon to 4pm

A personal note from Cheryl: I am working with a business coach now, trying to find ways to get the store out of the red. She is suggesting that we move the store out of Eagle Rock, to a place with more foot traffic. I love Eagle Rock, and I want to stay. If you'd like to see The Blissful Soul stay in Eagle Rock as well, please come see us soon! Let us know any ideas you may have for events or products (aka "Soul Essentials"!) that would help bring in more like-minded customers.

Blessings,


Cheryl, Shirley, and Pam
