Well, it’s been a rather inauspicious start to the Year of the Rat – The coronavirus is the latest big health scare, worldwide, 9 lovely people including a sports hero and his daughter perished in a tragic accident, and even five minutes of televised news is enough to make one want to crawl under a big blanket and say, “Enough!” How do you “armor up” in the face of daily stresses and battery of negative news? Daily meditation… prayer… envisioning what you want your life to look like? How about exercise? I do some sort of workout 5 times a week… weights, cardio, plyometrics, martial arts. Natalie does CorePower yoga and is a SoulCycle fanatic. Geneva hikes and swims. There’s definitely a mental, physical and spiritual component to living your best life, and I feel like there are things we need to do at minimum just to stay standing and cope with demands. Do something you love, be with people you love, love your pets. We have the knowledge, resources and wisdom at our fingertips – we just need to do it. Whatever it is that puts you in proper balance and reminds you of your gratitude-attitude, DO IT. Then, even when your childhood favorite sports team loses the Super Bowl, you can take it in stride and look forward to a better tomorrow. Until next month, Derek & Natalie and Geneva |

Most of the materials in this report reflect overall trends for the entire region.

As the consumer becomes more conscious of the environment, throwaway furniture becomes less desirable. * Finishes with old-world charm. In a world consumed by technology and fear, old-world charm is making a come-back in a sea of modernist design that surged in the past decade. * Color! The cool greys, greiges and whites are giving way to color, some of it very bold and daring. Rounded edges: the sharp squared lines of the past decade are giving way to softer, rounded edges. * Bolder stones: neutral, statutory marbles with soft veins may give way to bold, colored and memorable rare marbles and natural stones. Man-made ‘stones’ are growing in popularity too as practicality and functionality become more important. * High-tech Fabrics: new technology in fabrics will make them more durable and usable in areas that in the past were impractical. |
