  China's New Foreign Investment Law - What does this mean for foreign investors in China? (March 2019)
  On 15 March 2019, the National People's Congress ("NPC"), China's legislature, promulgated the long-awaited Foreign Investment Law ("FIL") which will come into force on 1 January 2020.
  The FIL will bring China's foreign investment regime into a new era by replacing and repealing the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (中外合资企业法), Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Law (中外合作企业法) and Foreign Enterprise Law (外资企业法), the existing laws regulating foreign invested entities ("FIEs") in China which have been in force for decades, (collectively the "FIE Laws") with a single unified law as from 1 January 2020. Foreign investors will welcome the rules laid down in the FIL for the promotion and protection of foreign investment in China, but some uncertainties remain.

  For the past few weeks, I’ve been spending a considerable amount of time researching event trends both in the for-profit and non-profit space. It isn’t unusual to be in research phase, as we head toward 2017 planning season, but the difference this year for me, is my ability to be more objective about what information I should be looking for and how I should put it into action.
  There’s nothing wrong with this approach if your organization is in a growth stage. That is to say, if your brand affinity is getting stronger, your event revenue is increasing, and your retention rate is growing, that is likely a focused approach and efforts are well-directed.
  However, if your metrics are less favorable, your event satisfaction is waning, and your staff’s excitement about next year is low, it may be time for a new approach. In fact, through all of my event research, my key finding was that nothing is working 100% of the time.
  It means that your 2017 planning can be more untraditional without the risk of missing the “silver bullet”. Because there isn’t one.
  Consider the potential outcomes if you loosened the reigns, and your planning approach looked more like this:
  If you’re eager to bring innovation and small wins to your non-profit in 2017, it may be time for a change in mindset. I firmly believe that exploring a new approach is simply time spent on trying something new. I’m happy to share my research with you so you can decide for yourself the best approach.

  I have aways been drawn to the power of energy in our bodies and in the world around us. It was first introduced to me through Yoga, where the life energy is called Prana. In Yoga, the breath and energy are intimately connected in the practice of pranayama. As we breathe and move, we release blockages in the body and allow the Prana to flow. This nourishes and energizes our body’s ability to heal and transform itself.
  In Chinese medicine, the energy moves along meridians in our bodies and is called Qi or Chi. Acupuncture is the alternative medicine practice which moves this energy to bring harmony and healing to body and mind.
  Reiki is a completely natural, non-invasive and safe method of energy balancing for stress reduction and relaxation. It is performed hands on or off depending on the client’s preference and involves no tissue manipulation. All healing is self-healing where the practitioner acts only as a channel for energy.
  A few weeks ago I had the opportunity of taking Reiki levels I and II training and attunements with ReikiMelody, and now offer my services for hands on healing and stress reduction as a Reiki practitioner.
  May each one of us be open to the infinite power of the universe and shine our light and love in our own way.
  This is a re-blog of a personal story about dealing with some physical pain while I was at Kripalu. For those of you who live with chronic pain, I hope you will be inspired by this.
  I have a deformity of my low back, which was exacerbated in a skiing accident in the 1990’s. The bottom line is that I have to be really careful not to jolt it, do quick movements or backbends that could bring about spasms or make the condition worse.
  So, going to Kripalu a few years ago, I made sure I had strong antispasmodics if my back went into spasm. I didn’t want to be incapacitated for yoga teacher training!
