More tips for the New Year? You got it! In Feng Shui, the tradition is to eat round shaped foods on New Year’s Day. Round is the shape associated with the Metal Element, the shape of coins, hence the shape of money being received. Round foods welcome the eternal flow of energy symbolized as one year ends and another begins. A Dutch custom recommends eating donuts on New Year’s Day to fill any money “holes” in your life (get it, donuts have holes – I crack me up). And I must share the southern custom here in the States of eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. This tradition states for every pea, you will receive a dollar. Well, it used to be a penny in my Grandmas time but I’m adding some 0’s to the end of that figure to keep up with the times!! Happy New Year’s Eve prep. Love and Light!
