About This Candle Finding the perfect quote for this candle took a while. Most quotes seem to equate prosperity with greed, which is definitely not within the spirit of this candle! To my mind, prosperity means to flourish, to bloom; to both give and receive the riches of life--spiritually, emotionally, economically. This quote captures my staunch belief that the higher we value ourselves and others, the more we're valued through and through. As Ellen DeGeneres says, "Sounds easy. But is it?" Well, no, at least not for me. But I'm chugging along. And this candle helps keep me on track. —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

1. Money, A Memoir : Women, Emotions, and Cash
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: In spite of women's supposedly massive buying power and growing
presence
in Fortune 500 boardrooms, many women are still awfully old-fashioned when
it comes to cash. Why do they show so little interest in managing
investments? Or lie to their partners about what something costs? And what's
behind that evil prescription known as "retail therapy"? Perle (When
Work Doesn't Work Anymore) investigates these questions and
others in this remarkable sociological study-cum-memoir. She boldly exposes
her own financial fears (the book opens as she's confronting a divorce and
the reality that she and her four-year-old son will have to sleep on a
friend's couch), admitting that, despite her years climbing the corporate
ladder (in publishing, incidentally), "there's still that other part of
me--the one that wants to reserve the option of depending on someone else."
Perle also profiles dozens of everyday women, spotlighting the anxiety,
embarrassment and guilt money causes them. Commentary from financial
experts, sociologists and others helps demonstrate Perle's thesis: women
cannot afford to be ambivalent about money and must learn to separate
feelings from finance. Perle's book raises more questions than it answers,
which is part of its allure--it'll surely have readers thinking twice before
they log on to
Bloomingdales.com after a bad day at work.
2. Money Magic: Unleashing Your True Potential for Prosperity and Fulfillment
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Making, keeping, and enjoying money isn’t just about investments, salaries, inheritances, or dividends, according to Deborah Price. It’s also about the games people play around money and their character type in relation to it. In Money Magic, Price shows readers how to stop making fear-based money choices and how to transform their relationship with money to obtain the wealth they desire. The book is structured around eight "types": the Innocent (the ostrich approach); the Victim (blaming circumstances); the Warrior (conquering money); the Martyr (always rescuing someone); the Fool (gambler looking for a windfall); the Creator/Artist (regarding money as evil); the Tyrant (controlling through money); and the Magician (benefiting spiritually and financially from money). The Magician is the book’s ideal, and Price offers exercises to help readers attain it.
3. Prosperity Pie: How to Relax About Money and Everything Else
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Whimsical artist and writer SARK (Succulent Wild Woman; Living Juicy) urges readers not to let lucre take over their lives in Prosperity Pie: How to Relax About Money and Everything Else. With her trademark line drawings, handwritten text and autobiographical asides, SARK guides readers through self-awareness exercises and philosophical musings aimed at keeping money in proper perspective. Some of her handmade worksheets exploring financial history and anxieties are reminiscent of Suze Orman's guides, but most of the book is taken up with broader questions of personal identity and fulfillment.

From Amazon.com: Anyone looking for the key to Abba's enduring appeal should look no further than "Voulez Vous" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic '50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don't have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic.

From Amazon.com: The movie version of Kander and Ebb's Chicago was long in the making, but it's well worth the wait. Director Rob Marshall's main change was to turn the classic musical numbers into fantasy sequences, but of course this isn't obvious on CD. Most importantly, the arrangements are bursting with life while being true to the show's spirit, and the casting is simply inspired. Catherine Zeta-Jones actually started her career on the British boards (she was in The Pajama Game and 42nd Street), so her turn as slinky Velma Kelly isn't that surprising; Renée Zellweger as Roxie Hart is more of a leftfield choice, but she shows she can handle the singing demands with pizzazz. The real revelation may well be rapper Queen Latifah, who belts out "When You're Good to Mama" with a marvelous affinity for the material. OK, so the R&B reprise of "Cell Block Tango/He Had It Coming" by Queen Latifah, Macy Gray, and Lil' Kim fails to convince, while Anastacia's "Love Is a Crime" is just blah (rest easy, purists, it's over the end credits). On the other hand, the CD provides two bonuses: "Class," which was cut from the movie, and "I Move On," a great duet written by Kander and Ebb for the final cut. It's really easy to mess up film adaptations of Broadway shows. Happily, Chicago proves it can be done right.
Original Release Date: 1987
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: It begins with the insistent drip-drop of a sequencer and ends with some old school R&B. In between, the artist who was still calling himself Prince unfurls an encyclopedia of moods, genres, and grooves. Widely heralded as a groundbreaker in 1987, when it was released, some of the music in oh-so-'80s synths sounds a bit dated. Yet this two-CD set is clearly the sound of a performer at the height of his power. On songs like the title track, "If I Was Your Girlfriend," and the thunderous "The Cross," Prince proves why the hype was justified.
1. Ocean's Eleven (Full Screen Edition)
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Ocean's Eleven improves on 1960's Rat Pack original with supernova casting, a slickly updated plot, and Steven Soderbergh's graceful touch behind the camera. Soderbergh reportedly relished the opportunity "to make a movie that has no desire except to give pleasure from beginning to end," and he succeeds on those terms, blessed by the casting of George Clooney as Danny Ocean, the title role originated by Frank Sinatra. Fresh out of jail, Ocean masterminds a plot to steal $163 million from the seemingly impervious vault of Las Vegas's Bellagio casino, not just for the money but to win his ex-wife (Julia Roberts) back from the casino's ruthless owner (Andy Garcia). Soderbergh doesn't scrimp on the caper's comically intricate strategy, but he finds greater joy in assembling a stellar team (including Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Carl Reiner) and indulging their strengths as actors. The result is a film that's as smooth as a silk suit and just as stylish.
2. Frida
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Salma Hayek makes up for many bad movies with her fierce performance in this sumptuous film. Hayek plays the Mexican surrealist painter Frida Kahlo, whose tempestuous life with her unfaithful husband, muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), drives the story of Frida. Maverick director Julie Taymor (Titus, the Broadway stage production of The Lion King) pulls out a wealth of gorgeous visuals to capture everything from the horrific bus accident that damaged Kahlo's spine to her and Rivera's trip to New York City, where Rivera's political leanings ruptured a commission from the Rockefeller family. Though the script spends too much time telling us how great Frida's painting is (rather than trusting in the power of the images themselves), Taymor's dynamic energy and Kahlo's forceful personality give Frida genuine emotional impact. The superb cast includes Roger Rees, Valeria Golino, Ashley Judd, Geoffrey Rush, Antonio Banderas, and Edward Norton.
3. Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: You won't need a bottle of rum to enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl, especially if you've experienced the Disneyland theme-park ride that inspired it. There's a galleon's worth of fun in watching Johnny Depp's androgynous performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a roguish pirate who could pass for the illegitimate spawn of rockers Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde. Depp gets all the good lines and steals the show, recruiting Orlando Bloom (a blacksmith and expert swordsman) and Keira Knightley (a lovely governor's daughter) on an adventurous quest to recapture the notorious Black Pearl, a ghost ship commandeered by Jack's nemesis Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a mutineer desperate to reverse the curse that left him and his (literally) skeleton crew in a state of eternal, undead damnation. Director Gore Verbinski (The Ring) repeats the redundant mayhem that marred his debut film Mouse Hunt, but with the writers of Shrek he's made Pirates into a special-effects thrill-ride that plays like a Halloween party on the open seas. | |||||||||
