February 22, 2011 Leave a comment

I want to stick to my target of posting at least one article a day.I would like to give myself as little wriggle-room as possible to make excuses.

I’ve been thinking of joining the PostADay2011 Challenge for a while.Tonight , finally, I’ve signed up.I will be posting on this blog once a day for all of 2011. The only excuses I will allow myself are extreme ill-health , family emergencies or the deal of a life-time sort of business deal.

I’m promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Signed,

Keerthika Singaravel

Maneki Nekos

MANEKI NEKO literally means “beckoning cat” in Japanese.It is one of the most common lucky charms in Japan and is believed to attract wealth.

Since they are believed to attract business and promote prosperity,they are frequently found in shop windows beckoning to passersby.

Interestingly,a raised left paw attracts money, while a raised right paw protects it and the higher the paw is raised, the greater the attraction or protection.

Maneki Neko are often depicted holding a coin; usually a gold coin called a koban , used during the Edo period in Japan.The coin obviously ties into the cat’s part in bringing good fortune and wealth.

I think I’ll bring back a Maneki Neko piggy-bank from Japan.After all I love cats and could always use a little extra help making money!
