Tranquility DeJure, December 28, 2008.

Bonjour and welcome to the 143rd edition of Tranquility DeJure, a guide to bringing tranquility to your everyday.

Today's show menu features happenings and musings on Planner Pad Pursuits with Joanna

Lowe and Julia Coney. Workshops and retreats. Here's some fun happenings coming up. One is a

new year, New You Teleclass on Monday, January 5th at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. You can also get the MP3 if you're

unable to join us. And we have our next online creativity circle starting January 26.

Plus, we've got some fun events around the globe. We have a day focused on creating a fabulous

2009 at our second annual New Year's

Gala, and that's here in Washington, D.C., workshops in Asheville and Montreal. We have our third

annual hip-trinkled chick retreat in a lovely farmhouse, not far from New York City. That's in the end of

March. And a really fun retreat. We're returning to

Costa Rica, and that's over Memorial Day. It's a whole week. And then another week at Krapaloo in August.

All this scoop is on the workshops page, and then there's tons of workshops sprinkled throughout

in the Washington, D.C. area.

Our featured E. Colux Tranquility piece is the skirt pant, which is very hot among belly dancers and yogis.

And it's a really cute wide leg pants, very flowy, and the skirt's great for covering the bum.

Featured guests, Julia Coney and Joanna Lowe.

So Julia created All About the Pretty in March 2006 because of her intense love of beauty products.

The site is musings of beauty as a lifestyle and not just a product.

All About the Pretty was voted one of the hottest top ten beauty blogs by Women's Wear Daily.

Joanna Lowe started her fascination with paper organization when she was introduced to

origami paper as a young child growing up in Taipei.
