under9inches: golden pumpkin attack

2006-2008 Barbra Sundquist Quick, think of an amazing environment. How many of the attributes from your amazing environment are present in your everyday environment?If you're like most people, the answer is not many. For many of us, our home environment is just there in the background. If your definition of amazing environment is last year's camping trip family reunion, where the thing that made it amazing was the casual environment where everybody could kick back and relax... But if your amazing environment involves spaciousness, quiet, and aesthetic beauty...then the casual cluttered family home will be a disconnect, and you won't feel fully alive there. As a result, we ended up with the perfect home for that stage of our lives - a modest home with a modest mortgage. So with my coach's help, I started looking for ways to make that dream come true.Recently, my husband and I moved to an architecturally interesting house situated in a forest clearing, and are thrilled with our new environment. Incidentally, our new house has many elements consistent with my amazing environment - which is a woodland path. That's where taking a good look at your present environment and comparing it to your amazing environment can be instructive.What I'm talking about is assessing whether your space reflects your current values and lifestyle. If your personal environment has not caught up with your life, there are lots of things you can do. Jan Addams, a Vancouver area interior designer and author of Inside Out Image and Design believes that the key personal elements that make up a home's character should reflect the occupant's personality and viewpoint. Similarly, maybe your amazing environment involved walking on the beach. It's clear that our spaces reflect who we are, and that we are always adapting to our environment. This article is excerpted from Barbra's ebook Amazing Environments: How to Use Life Coaching Principles to Create a Home that Nurtures, Inspires and Enlivens.

A blind countess (Alida Valli), her imbalanced son (Alessio Orano) and a creepy bald butler (Telly Savalas) who carries around a mannequin all come into play in this fantastically bizarre tale liberally spiced with gruesome, gothic deaths.
