Lucky in 2009 ~ Keep it going in Oh Ten ~
Gotta get ready to ring in the new year, but I wanted to make a quick post.
I’ve had the best year of my life! I bought my dream home in Brooklyn, I was Teacher of the Year and I just found out that I won $500.00! Thank God for a great year. I am so grateful!
So I’m going to start 2010 the same way I started 2009. Someone told me about lucky foods for the new year and I figured it can’t hurt.
The lucky foods are: circular fruit (like grapes and oranges or grapefruits), black eyed peas, pork and sauerkraut.
We usually wake up late because of the partying from the night before so we eat fruit salad for breakfast because it’s always good to start the day with fruit (bananas, oranges, apples and grapes).
Pork and green vegetables are said to bring wealth if eaten on New Years Day. I have no idea why pigs symbolize progress, but I do understand that the green veggies represent money. Legumes (black-eyed peas or lentils) are also said to bring luck if eaten on the first day of the New Year. The small peas grow when they cook, so people’s money is suppose to grow as well. We make a pork and sauerkraut dish and have black eyed pea soup on the side.
Of course these are all just myths, but some people believe that there are certain foods that people should avoid on New Year’s Day. Most people love lobster, right? Since lobsters move backwards, they aren’t an ideal choice for New Year’s Day. Chicken are also to be avoided because it scratches backwards. I’ve even heard some older women say that birds that fly shouldn’t be eaten on New Year’s Day because your luck will fly away.
Lee says this has been his best year -> mentally, physically and spiritually too! He humors me by eating the lucky New Years foods. So maybe there is something about lucky New Year’s foods.
Happy New Year, Friends!
EDIT: Do not do laundry on New Years Day.

I wish I had seen this sooner because I’ve been reading your blog for about six months and you have been pretty lucky. So if I had known there was some lucky food, I would have jumped on the bandwagon.
Why shouldn’t someone do laundry on New Years?

It’s been ten months without a yeast infection. More than that, for the past couple of months I only had one migraine attack, comparing to six a week as I used to. I also very often suffered from runny nose and acne on my forehead. Since I started this program, it’s been like a miracle. My acne disappeared in less than 2 weeks, I lost 10 pounds, and the flu like symptoms I often use to suffer from are also a thing of the past. I feel so young and empowered and I would have never believed there was a natural solution for my problems, if I was told a year ago. All because of Yeast Infection No More System

Belated Happy New Year to you too! Browsing blogs for the first time this week. I’m amazed by the sense of community I’m finding here and it other good blogs. This is definitely one for my bookmarks.
BTW, vist my WordPress blog for my business here: Long Beach Air Conditioning. I know that you’re in NYC, but you may have some bi-coastal readers. At least I hope so.
