Winc Spot

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Gold, Chocolate, or Purple. Now read away!

Gold

(Chosen by Cathleen O’Connor)

Think of gold and you probably picture money. My image is of a fusion of glittering golden
shapes coming together to form a snowflake. While you may appear to be going in circles this week if you were to stand back and view the whole picture of your life then you would see that everyone and everything in it is connected. Very soon, probably within the next six weeks, all the links you have diligently created will come together. The key for you this week is to realize that you are part of the whole and you make a difference. Without your input there would be a missing link. 

Chocolate

(Chosen by Andy Milford)

My mind tumbles through visions of chocolate squares, melted chocolate, hot chocolate drinks, and candies of all shapes. If you chose chocolate this is the message - you are in for a stimulating time. This might lead you to get a little carried away so watch out for those addictive habits. Some planned events will change shape, but this is not such a bad thing. There will be some money changing hands and surprisingly by the weekend you will have more than you started with. The 16th of December is National Chocolate Covered Anything day, so this could be a good day to get a chocolate wrap, and if not then it might be a noteworthy date on your calendar. The key this week is to have fun. If something appears blocked or stuck, then just add a little creative fire and melt it down.>

Purple

Purple implies mystery, transformation, and trust, choosing it means that your routine is about to change - and not before time. Any kind of change can set you off balance, but it opens up an opportunity to reconnect with that part of you that has been lost in your schedule. I see a beautiful purple silk cloth with folds that cast shadows, indicating that this event will create a few dark moments as you seek the truth within. In about two weeks you will be faced with some decisions that will have bearing on your life in the coming year. It is important to use what you have learned during this time of change to guide you as you make those decisions. The key is to go with your feelings, listen to your heart, and trust that whatever you decide is the right thing to do given the information you have in that moment.

The Leave it to Cleaver Radio Show is currently going through some changes. It may be off air for a while, but Your WinC Spot will still be available every Monday. We may experiment next week with a video WinC Spot, so check back to find out what your colors are and how your choice reflects your week ahead.

Your Winc Spot is a weekly color forecast. Choose one of three random colors - check here every Saturday to select your color, then you can do one of three things:

ONE

Listen to the “Leave it to Cleaver” radio show which may or may not be streaming live.

TWO

You can get his podcast after the show - the Leave it to Cleaver show starts at 8am and runs to 10am EST every Monday. Between 8am and 8.30am Steve shares his usual amusing and insightful thoughts, interspersed with original music from local artists. Then he interviews a very interesting guest for an hour, check his site for upcoming guests or sign up for his newsletter. Then at 9.30am you can hear me call in and let you know what’s in store for each of this week’s WinC Spot three colors. After my piece you can hear the latest indie movie review from movie critic Stefan Day.

THREE

Come back to my Sealed With Love blog after 10am EST on Mondays to read what your color choice reveals about your week ahead. Eventually we will add a video of Your WinC Spot.

This Week’s Colors…

... are Inspired by Christmas. Make an intention to intuitively choose one of the following three colors to reflect your week ahead. 

Fairy Dust (iridescent sparkly white)
Eggnog (creamy delicious yellow)
Spruce (Christmas tree green)

If you have something to say about your color choice or the interpretation or you have an idea for a color for next week’s WinC Spot then do add a comment. 

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Eggnog (creamy yellow), Fairy Dust (iridescent white), or Spruce (Christmas tree green). Now read away!

Eggnog

Eggnog brings up memories of childhood and family gatherings, for better or worse. Its color is pale yellow and reflects extremes of happiness and laughter, as well as fear and worry. So, what does Eggnog say about your week ahead? We all have our own ideas about how to create something, but if we think of ideas as recipes then we can say that most recipes pretty much have the same basic ingredients. This means that although we may appear to be different and have opposing thoughts and opinions, we still have a common ground. It is always good to have a fresh perspective, so be willing to share experiences (and recipes) with others. Occasionally this week and probably over the coming four weeks, your eggs might scramble so to speak, in which case just start again and learn from the experience. It will all turn out nice and sweet and may even have a few extra un-anticipated ingredients. Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, stated that there was no such thing as mistakes as long as you learned from them. Remember that the next time your eggs curdle! 

Fairy Dust

Do you believe in fairies? This week you are invited to believe that all things are possible. You don’t have to know that they are achievable you just have to believe they are doable. Fairy Dust means that you are being touched by magic. So this week open your heart to the magic of life. It comes in many forms, but whatever form it takes it will guide you on one of life’s wonderful journeys. Fairy Dust asks you to believe in yourself! You are worth all the magic the universe has stored up for you. So, you can expect some karmic rewards this week and maybe some unexpected visits or messages from people you have not seen in a while. And one last magical surprise, be open to taking a trip some time in the next eight weeks (February feels important) that will have a profound impact on your psyche.

Spruce

This is a great time of year for you, a time when you are at your most popular. This is not to say you’re not popular the rest of the year, but for the coming two weeks you will have that extra sparkle. You won’t hog the limelight though, oh no, you will respectfully give others their chance at being center stage. There are a couple of key points for you to ponder on this week –

Number 1. Allow yourself some alone time. You can’t be “On” 24/7

Number 2. Green symbolizes the heart so there will be plenty to keep this part of your life busy, if you know what I mean!

And Number 3. Green also represents wealth, so your choice of Spruce says money matters will be on your mind. Hey, why wouldn’t it be it’s Christmas, right! Provided you plant new seeds your finances will be OK! It could take about six months for those seeds to root in and grow, so essentially this is germinating time for you. Think of it as a growth period. So off you pop and plant a few seeds.

If you missed the Leave it to Cleaver Radio Show you can download it in its entirety as a Podcast from the Leave it to Cleaver website.

Even if you miss the show, your WinC Spot will be available every Monday on my blog. We are still toying with the idea of creating an experimental video WinC Spot, this will probably happen in the New Year. Do send me your ideas for colors for next weeks WinC Spot - I already have two suggestions. And remember to check back next week to find out what your colors are and how your choice reflects your week ahead.

Happy Holidays

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Sugar Plum(violet/red), Silver Bells, or Champagne. Now read away!

Sugar Plum

Thanks to Virginia Pasternak for this suggestion

Choose Sugar Plum and you are saying that your week ahead is full of change. It can go from one extreme to the other – from red root chakra topics such as your ability to manifest, to violet crown chakra experiences like a test of faith for instance. But, the point of the Sugar Plum is that despite its skins slightly tart edge, when ripe it is sweet like honey. The message then is that while your week might appear to be wrought with instability full of ups and downs, it is in fact very fruitful. Inside the plum is a seed, so within each experience is an opportunity not just for growth, but for inviting sugar coated sweetness and maybe a little spice into your life.   

Silver Bells

Thanks to Jess Hubley for this suggestion

It is time for you to be heard. Start out by sharing your voice with friends. In no time at all you will have a large audience more than willing to listen. Silver is a precious metal and reflects your knowledge and wisdom. Some part of this information will be expressed in a unique and creative way. This will be so inspiring that it will encourage you to dig deeper into the depths of your creativity to see what treasures lie beneath your everyday consciousness. The keyword is teaching, but remember that when a bell rings an angel gets its wings. Angels are messengers. So, unbeknownst to you the message you bring comes from a higher source and a part of that inspirational journey you are about to embark on. 

Champagne

Thanks to Meg Vecchi for this suggestion

Life is certainly bubbling for you this week as someone or something is literally going to pop your cork! You have a lot to look forward to and not just this week. Plenty of new and exciting adventures will continue into 2009. Champagne signifies a celebration and the grapes can only be grown in one region of the world, so choosing this color says that a trip to a particular place will be significant. You may not understand this until you arrive. Some time around June you will be celebrating and looking back over your whirlwind of a year, but the second half of the year may not move quite as quickly. Stick with it though as projects started mid-year will gain momentum in 2010.

And remember to check back next week to find out what your colors are and how your choice reflects your week ahead.

Happy Holidays

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Imperial Purple, Sovereign Gold, or Royal White. There is a song to go with each of this week’s colors, just click on the song to listen and view it on the YouTube website. Now, go ahead and read your color forecast!

Imperial Purple

Passion

You might have been feeling a little bruised lately as your heart opens up to new experiences and passions. Give yourself the time to enjoy this blossoming period in your life. It takes faith not only in yourself, but also in the intentions and integrity of those around you. Be willing to examine the gamut of emotions you are fated to explore over the coming two weeks. By the end it will feel like you have been put once through the wash cycle, cleansed and ready for the next round of adventures. Suggested music to go with your mood is by a British band called Oasis, and the song is “Stop Crying Your Heart Out,” from the movie The Butterfly Effect about a man who finds a way to change his traumatic past by reading his adolescent journals. His actions change the course of his present life with unintended consequences. The moral is that everything happens for a reason and you would not be who you are today without those experiences.     

Sovereign Gold

Abundance

Gold Sovereigns were first issued in the fifteenth century by Henry VII King of England and typically do not carry a mark of value. So, for all you gold sovereign choosers this is your opportunity to write your own destiny, to place your mark on history or herstory however you wish to see it. What do you want? What will fulfill you? It is time to make your dreams come true. Everything you need is right here, now! You don’t have to look outside of yourself. You can create, manifest, and fulfill whatever it is your heart desires. The key ingredient is realizing your power to create, your ability to manifest anything and everything in your life. In the movie classic From Russia with Love, James Bond is given a travel briefcase with 50 gold sovereigns hidden in a secret compartment. Your gold is hidden within you. All you have to do now is find it. Music to go with your purpose this week is “I have a Dream” by Abba

Royal White

Uniqueness

Before giving birth, Buddha’s mother had a dream of a white elephant holding a lotus flower. White is a symbol of purity, white elephants are considered to have sacred power and the lotus flower is a symbol of spiritual enlightenment. Choosing Royal white signifies that you are on a unique path, one that you have not trodden before, and could have a link to Buddhist traditions and related countries such as India and Thailand. Over the coming three weeks you will be looking at ways to express yourself that reflect a new level of awareness. You will seek a new understanding of your place in the world and may well venture outside of your current safety net. This could be a physical journey or an intellectual one or may involve traveling in your dreams. Whatever it is be prepared for some moments of silence. Your music is called, “Awakening,” by Deva Premal and Mitten. Listen to the lyrics and use the words to inspire you on the next step of your journey.

And remember to check back next week to find out what your colors are and how your choice reflects your week ahead.

Have a Wonderful Week Filled With Love, Abundance, & Joy

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Cinnamon Sticks, Mint Tea, or Honeycomb. Now, go ahead and read your color forecast!

Cinnamon Sticks

Embracing the Spice of Life

Cinnamon has lots of good qualities. It is known to maintain blood sugar levels, can be used as an aphrodisiac and was once so highly prized that wars were fought over it. Cinnamon reflects your need to add some spice to your life. It shows that some aspect of your day-to-day living just needs flavoring with a sprinkle of excitement, something to get your blood moving. Once this occurs - and it could be anything from a new sense of purpose to a romantic liaison - then you can be sure that you are on the right path. This is not to say that a particularly stimulating venture will continue, it is simply a sign of good things to come. To invoke this energy and clear the air of any stagnation that might hinder your path burning cinnamon sticks or cinnamon essential oil.       

Mint Tea

Well-coming Growth

Mint is often used as a welcoming herb, either in tea or the leaves are rubbed on tables to summon a sweet and inviting scent. Green, the color of the heart, symbolizes growth. Mixed with the aroma of mint this implies that your popularity will inspire plenty of invitations to keep your time occupied. Because your heart will be more open than usual you will be vulnerable to some challenging conversations, ones that are destined to bring up memories, pleasant and unpleasant. To invoke the calming effect of mint try a cup of freshly brewed mint tea, but beware of its effect as an appetite stimulant otherwise you might gain a few pounds. 

Honeycomb

Sweet Abundance

Your choice of honeycomb reveals a mixture of energies. First, we have the honey, or as it is known in Greece, ambrosia, the food of the Gods. Its golden color symbolizes abundance. Within the honeycomb this says to keep some of your money aside, locked away for a rainy day. Then we have the golden wax representing a new project that will involve others in its growth. This could take up to two years to formulate, but should be in the works within the next six months. Finally, the structure of the honeycomb, a mass of hexagonal – six sided cells symbolizes Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. So, watch out for some romance this week, but remember who is queen! To invoke the golden sweetness of honey try burning a honeycomb candle, but before you light it add to it a prayer of love, abundance, and good health.

This Week’s Colors have ben chosen to honor the inauguration…

... are Inspired by nature’s healing offerings. Make an intention to intuitively choose one of the following three colors to reflect your week ahead. 

Red
White
Blue

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Lilac, Pink, or Yellow.  Now, go ahead and read your color forecast!

Lilac

Lilac Flowers

Watch out for a misunderstanding at work that will get you in a bit of a pickle and a mid-week meeting that will leave you feeling left out of the loop. Toward the weekend news from family or close friends will entice you to take a much-needed break. This presents a chance to regroup and realize that you have been playing defensive. It is time for some action. The sweet smell of success is in the air for you, it just requires some strategy and careful planning. Your flower is lilac representing community and networking. Use these qualities to focus on your next step. 

Pink

Lotus

You might think you have nothing to show for all the change you have been through over the past few weeks, well you would be wrong. There has been more going on behind the scenes than you realize and you are about to reap the benefits of all your hard work. A message will lift your spirits as it promises good things to come, and a trip you have been planning in February could be more memorable than you anticipate. Your flower is a beautiful pink lotus representing an open and abundant heart. Expect the gift of love this week in whatever shape or form it may take. 

Yellow

Daffodils

Life will deal you a few good hands over the coming weeks, but the opinions of those that have your best interests at heart could mislead you causing you to miss out on some wonderful opportunities. While you have the support of friends and colleagues you are the only one that can make “it” happen. So, don’t go looking a gift horse in the mouth when an opportunity arises, take it! Your flower this week is a daffodil representing bright prospects and focus, guiding you to keep your eye on the finish line.

This will probably happen some time soon. Do send me your ideas for colors for next weeks WinC Spot. And remember to check back next week to find out what your colors are and how your choice reflects your week ahead.

Have a Warm Week Filled With Lilac Action, Pink Love, & Yellow Opportunities

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Blue, Charcoal, or Orange  Now, go ahead and read your color forecast!

Blue

Letting Go!

You have been holding on to some unhealthy habits, relationships, and beliefs and it is high time you recognized how this is shaping your life. The image for you this week is of a blue pair of scissors. These are available for you to cut away anything that is not working for you, such as a relationship that is less than satisfactory or a job that does not fulfill you. Blue is the color of communication, so it might just be that you need to speak up and ask for what you want instead of complaining. On the articles page of my website you will find a wonderful exercise to Cut the Ties that Bind. Use this to consciously and energetically sever the ties that no longer serve you and give you the space to create a life you love. This week your energy may be a little lower than normal. It is a reflection of the emotional weight you have held onto and one way or another this is about to shift. 
 

Charcoal

Finding the right key!

You have been hitting a few wrong keys lately, but nothing that can’t be corrected. Take a little time to center and make a list of 10 things you would like to go back and change. Then imagine that you are erasing them and seamlessly replacing them with corrections. Everything is energy so on an energy level anything and everything is possible. Your intentions are important this week, as you will soon discover. Your thought is creating much faster than it used to. So, as you re-write your past consider how you would like the next 20 years in your future to look too. Check out Win’s blog for a little help. He asks you to email him about the one thing you asked for or said no to today and he will send you a link to his Future Self guided meditation. This meditation allows you to visit yourself 20 years from today, and to get to know the person you are becoming. 

Orange

Finishing Touches!

Your excitement is almost palpable. You finally have all your ducks in a row, now all you need is that finishing touch and within the next two weeks you will know exactly what that is. You are going to ride this wave of satisfaction until April then the surge will wane. Be sure to keep all lines of communication open because around that time you will be looking for a new adventure, one that may take you either to distant lands or will connect with far off places. Mid-week expect an invitation to meet with old friends and connect with new ones. Take this opportunity to impart your creative ideas with a focus group. You don’t have to share their opinions, but it always pays to be open to others’ perspectives. The image for you this week is of sweet sticky buns with a message to stick with the people you resonate with. This is a learning curve for you as you need to be loved and accepted by everyone, but not everyone is right for you.  Read this article Chakra Series Sacral Center to understand more about yourself.

Have a Warm Week Releasing the Blues, Finding the Right Charcoal Note & Finishing it all Off With a Touch of Orange

Before you read this week’s WinC Spot and with the intention of receiving information about your week ahead, choose one of the following colors - Black, Cream, or Coffee  Now, go ahead and read your color forecast!

Black

Going Within

This week you’re going to be searching for answers and the most confusing aspect of this is that everyone has a different response to your question. Black is supposed to be a non-color, but maybe it reflects a color you cannot see or interpret.  You have to imagine what that might be. Meditation is your keyword it means to go within. Imagine the space within you is an eight ball. The best way to find an answer is to ask the right question. Each time you ask a question it will reflect an answer and it is up to you to decide whether or not you accept this answer.  Use your imagination and intention as you visualize the eight ball revealing the answer to your question.  Be aware that as you seek so you shall find, so if you don’t want to know the answer then don’t ask the question.
Affirmation: I am an intuitive and wise being.

Cream

Unity

Security is the top of your priority list and teamwork is next on the agenda.  Early on this week you will take part in a meeting, where you will be asked to share with others your fears and concerns.  “A problem shared is a problem halved.”  Be willing to open your heart and listen to others as they give you a fresh perspective.  Cream as a color says that everything has the potential to run smoothly.  The image I see with this is of a group of unstrung pearl beads connecting closely together. The important thing to remember at this time is that everyone is in the same boat as you and you can help each other. If you are open to receive you will gain some important and valuable advice from those who are traveling along side with you, as well as make some new friends.
Affirmation: I am open to receive.

Coffee

Focus

This week you will be on a high and racing to the finish line.  You are completely on track and by the time March comes you will be looking back on one of your best achievements so far this year, maybe even one of the best of your life.  You are beginning to think about what comes next and will consider a project with links to a company outside of your current domain and possibly in another country.  On a personal level, coffee says that a current relationship is strengthening and giving you permission to expand your emotional horizons.  All relationships have their ups and downs and this one has certainly had its dark moments, but you have laid the groundwork and you are ready to commit to something much more meaningful in your life.
Affirmation: I am fulfilling my purpose.

If you like Your WinC Spot color forecast you are going to love my monthly color forecast too. My ColorScope is one of a kind and is updated monthly. Next week check back for my first Video Color Forecast.

Have a Warm Week and a Wonderful Valentine’s Day!
