For the past week or so I've been compiling a
list of amulets, talismans, and other spiritual objects (Note: it is still in the working stages). Many of these objects are used for the purpose of attracting prosperity or good luck such as the
maneki neki. Others, such as the
witch ball and
Eye of Horas, are used to block or trap negative energies.
This morning, Cherokee, one of my Facebook fans posted on my wall that she has a mandala hanging on her door to keep negative energy from entering her home, which she honors as a sacred space. Cherokee also shared a spiritual parenting tip. She said that when she was growing up that her and her sister would be instructed to take their differences and disagreements outdoors, and not to bring them back inside. Oh... how I wish I'd known about this when my kids were little and having their sibling spats.

Thought I'd put this poll up front and in your face to hopefully get more votes. I posted it at the bottom of my recent blog post Could Negative Thinking Actually Be Positive? a few minutes ago but I got to thinking (maybe negatively thinking) that it might not get the attention it deserved down there, so here it is again with top billing. Thanks in advance for voting!!!

I like to think that I am a positive person, someone who views what life throws my way optimistically, perhaps with a sprinkling of realistic expectations. I seldom go down the negative thinking route. You could say I'm one of those
glass half full type of gals. Oh, my moods do swing negative sometime, I'm human after all and do experience feeling less than hopeful.
So, yesterday when I saw an article in the NY Post entitled The Power of Negative Thinking I simply had to give it more than a fleeting glance. Here's what I found out. A negative mood study was done at the University of New South Wales. The results of the study indicate a bad mood or sadness could have some advantages. Okay, but let's just say I am feeling skeptical about this outcome. Nothing new, I tend to be skeptical about stuff in general. It is the "investigator in me." Just because I'm an optimist doesn't make me a push over. A cynic? Almost never. But, skeptical, yes! I mean really! I'm not convinced that negative thinking is a positive. Not yet! Maybe not ever.
