In life it seems there is always too much to do and never enough time to do the things we want to accomplish. Having goals and objectives is probably the best way to approach success. For the last few years I have dreamed of an investment to turn my home into an oasis for the purpose to enjoy the investment with both family and friends for as long as we are capable. It has taken many years of thoughts, drawings and smart financing to plan and execute my goals. I just have this funny feeling that my oasis will soon become the center of the universe for many I haven’t seen or heard from in years but this I welcome as long as they BYOB. What hurts me is to hear some of the responses I get which are full of envy that are troublesome but to deflect these negative tones that seem to be zapping my energy I have incorporated the services of my Mother to perform the Calabrese ritual to ward off the evil eye or ‘Mal Occhio’. With a little extra virgin olive oil, salt and tap water she will ‘Spumica’ me (a Calabrese dialect expression from San Giorgio Morgeto, Reggio, CA, Italy).  With prayers to shield me from those negative vibes the ritual if done properly shows the oil dissipating in the water, signifying that the person is under the spell of another sinister individual. After a few sessions the oil in water stays clumped together and the Mal Occhio is conquered. Wow I feel better already. Life is short and with this I say, ‘Live for today because tomorrow may never come’.
