November is the month of the Scorpio - my best overall match in all (I am a Pisces). Mitch is a Scorpio. My bestest friend from college is a Scorpio. Vibe fanatic Caitlin is a Scorpio. Scorpios and Pisces swim around and around with a special bond and unique intuitive conversation. And, while, when agitated, Scorpios sting, their Pisces buddies have a protective gel around them that doesn't just repel the sting, but bounces back making for honest and friendly feedback.
I also love brown. I have brown hair, brown eyes, and mostly brown clothes. According to About.com:Brown is a natural, down-to-earth neutral color. It is found in earth, wood, and stone. Brown is a warm neutral color that can stimulate the appetite. It is found extensively in nature in both living and non-living materials. Brown represents wholesomeness and earthiness. While it might be considered a little on the dull side, it also represents steadfastness, simplicity, friendliness, dependability, and health.
I think one of the reasons I love brown so much is my close affinity with nature and my vibrant personality likes to be toned down, and brown helps keep it real.
I also love brown because it signifies one of life's hardest lessons - The Grass Is Not Always Greener!!! And in Vermont, in November, the grass turns brown! Yay! That means life is living, snow is coming, and warmth becomes a treat, not something to be taken for granted.
This past weekend I took a break from Vibing and Mitch and I headed to Boston to visit with family and friends and to fill our heads and souls with history. Vermont is grand, but sometimes I need a more worldly view, not only to appreciate Vermont, but to keep thinking out of the box and sharing that energy with others. And, to keep reminding myself that the grass is not greener!
Would I make more money in Boston so I would not have to stress so much about finances? Of course! But my business, life, energy, and hard work is in Vermont. The subway air, litter, racing around, wasted time, and lack of brown (never mind green) would give me a heart attack before I was 40! But, catching up with loved ones, walking the Freedom Trail, and exploring the Boston Museum of Fine Arts renewed my spirit, giving me copious amounts of energy for my next Vermont Vibes adventure!
Hint - November is a fabulous time to explore various small Vermont communities, make new friends and connections, and eat delicious food at local town dinners. A great place to look is www.vermontvacation.com and search for suppers, or just google search "Vermont town supper" or "Vermont community dinner" and see what you come up with! And keep an eye out for the Vibe - we've got a Vibin' crew this weekend!!!

Grass Greener? Would you have more money? After paying rent or mortgage for Boston real-estate? C.O.L. is very different here and may just equal that equation.

You make Boston sound so horrible or should I say this is a case of “the grass is browner over there!” No brown or green! That’s a flat out lie… we have plenty of green and brown, besides the Green Monster and Charles River, there is plenty of wilderness just outside of the city limits. But we also have more Blue than Vermont could ever dream of, a wilderness in its own, even within the city limits. You can even find plenty of quaintness (yes; not unique to VT) even in the worldly city of Boston. Eva vibe down to the docks and get fresh fish or lobster right off the boat? Eva eat fresh Chowda from a shack just off the beach, then take in a world class show in a theater gilded with so much gold leaf, paintings, marble and ceilings so high you get vertigo? Eva eat a clam seconds after it’s been dug up? Or learned the secret routes to avoiding daily traffic? Or commute via water taxi? Or have the champion sports teams or opportunities, and history this town has? Or splurge on a $400 dinner for two at a world class restaurant, the tastes of which are so invigorating its orgasmic?
There’s plenty of Vibin to be had no mater where you live.
