Happy Chinese New Year 2012

Gung Hay Fat Choy (that's "Happy New Year" in Chinese)! Today is the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, and this is the year of the Water Dragon. According to this epic lunar calender, the year of the Dragon is a time of positive change and enterprise. Chinese New Year is traditionally a time of great celebration, a clear-out-the-old, bring-in-the-new kind of event. Usually families use this week to give their houses a thorough sweep and clean, and to ring in the new year with a bountiful family dinner. The color red is very important, as it is a color of fortune, so family members give and receive money in red envelopes as an emblem of a prosperous and abundant year.

In honor of the promise of abundance this year, I have decided to start taking credit cards once again. I know, I know, who DOESN'T take credit cards already, right? It's about time, I KNOW! Many of you have been asking about credit cards, so I found a great new way to run cards that is super easy for you and for me. It's called Square, and you may have seen other service businesses, food trailers, and lots of other folks using it. It's really simple and you will have the option to have a card on file if you choose, so you don't have to get the card out at each appointment and swipe it every time. Then, a receipt is e-mailed to you, and voila, no stress, no writing checks, etc. For more information, just ask at your next appointment.


My sincere thanks for your friendship and patronage...
Love to all,
Andrea Fleming
