Clear it out
completely.
• Pick a space you would like to clear out.
• Decide what is the ending point, when
will you know the job is done. (Example: “I
can walk into this closet and things won’t fall
on me.”)
• Physically remove everything from the
space. (Best when it’s a small space, like
a closet. When clearing a room, organize
one piece of furniture at a time. Don’t clear
a whole room or you’ll never finish with
energy or time!)
Let go.
• Remember that everything you keep,
you have to maintain, repair and keep up.
• Take a lesson from Dave Bruno, of
Illinois, who blogs about keeping only 100

Tantric Tip
Here are some ways to
spring clean your love life —
and yourself, energetically,
spiritually and emotionally
according to Tantric Sacred
Journeys:
Look within.
Take stock of your beliefs.
Release old patterns and
energetic blocks that are
keeping you from happiness,
freedom, passion and love.
How to do this:
Meditation, yoga, Tantric
rituals and healing,
sacred circles and setting
intentions.
Ask yourself:
Why hold on to the old,
even when you know it
doesn’t serve you? Do you
hold on out of comfort,
laziness, misunderstanding,
safety or complacency?
Instead: Practice patience
and kindness toward
yourself. Don’t try to
release everything at once.
Pressure usually leads to
disappointment.
Get support.
One local group,
organized by Tantric Sacred
Journeys, can help you
spring clean your love life.
Upcoming “pujas,” or sacred
circles, are April 2 and May
7. Meetings are 7-9:30 p.m.,
at 1419 Cedar Ave., Boulder,
$20 for singles and $35 for
couples (even if you’re just

f you find yourself fortunate enough to
meet Gail Siegel, know that the woman
before you is nothing like the woman you
would have met several years ago.
With her silver and white hair, amber eyes
and trendy wardrobe, Siegel, 57, of Lafayette,
is the picture of what it means to age grace-
fully. Her warm laugh will draw you in and
keep you intrigued. Unless, of course, you
can’t take the heat when she tells it like it is.
There’s no mincing words with Siegel. She
stands up for herself and lets her opinions be
known.
That straightforward attitude has been
consistent throughout it all: Siegel’s career
changes, her physical changes and the deep-
er, internal changes that came along with
transforming her life. The mentality shift that
gave her the push to lose the weight started
it all. Then, the weight loss renewed her
confidence to drive her to pursue an entirely
new career path. And now, Siegel sits here
today, looking like a different woman, living a
much different life.
And this spring, as the trees near her
Lafayette home begin to push forth new
leaves and the perennials emerge from the
soil — as new flowers, yet from the same
roots — Siegel reflects on the spring of her
own life, a reminder that it is never too late to
rebuild and redefine yourself.
It’s never too late “It was enough to send me to a really dark
place.”

Castner of the way, a beautiful blend of country

answer to a desire for change in a comfortable
union.
Maria and her husband of 12 years, Neil Cox,
moved into their home out near Oxford Road
in Longmont five years ago. It was a home they
spent seven years searching for.
Prior to their move, they lived in a home Neil
had occupied for 21 years. The desire to move
was Maria’s, and she was happy just to find
something new. For Neil, a new home would
have to be better than the lovely home they
already occupied in Orange Orchard in north
Boulder. But the home in Orange Orchard never
felt like Maria’s, despite her hard work to make
it so.
“This was much more of a priority for me than
Neil. I wanted something new and something
that was ours,” Maria says.
Seated on two acres and surrounded by 240
acres of agricultural open space, their new
home has views of the Flatirons, the morning
