Bless the Mess! Give Thanks!
And, carry on…
This blog may be a bit ‘dated’ as it refers to some issues in the Spring. Yet, coping methods are needed year round!
This holiday season, I encourage you to take a step back, allow/delegate others to take care of the details and give yourself
some space.
Yes, the meals may not taste the same, but everyone will be fed and happy! Bless the MESS whenever you can!
How are you today?

Water-people have a Deep Influence in Society
You’ll find a large majority of our senior population are water-people. These individuals have worked hard in their lives, specialists in their professions and have experienced many of life’s lessons. They bring a plethora of knowledge to the equation. Experience has shaped their philosophy and we look up to them for guidance and direction. Similar to the wise owl in the woods, people turn to them for guidance and understanding.
Water people enjoy…
Metal-Energy People are the Backbone for Society
The elements in feng shui are directly related to properties of the earth. Each of these properties has its own structure, specific components, and their own personalities. Just like us, some of these elements work very well together, and sometimes not!
In feng shui, the metal element represents structure, integrity and discipline. Metal people are introverts, and more methodical than the others. Metal-type-people like to work with numbers, finite issues and can easily…
Earth-people are Often Stuck in the Middle
An earth-type personality is much like the tangible earth; solid, grounded and stable. Of all the Five Elements; wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, the earth people are standing in middle ground.
In the working world, people with earth personalities are the best choice to train new employees. Their patience and relaxed nature is very non-threatening. They have a knack to organize and compile data, and remember to send a card for every…
Fire-People Have Energy to BURN
Do you remember the last time you were really passionate about something? It could have been something quiet; perhaps a breath-taking view of the lake? Or, more emotional, such as standing up for someone who needed assistance?
The fire element, in feng shui, is represented by the colour red and generally shows up in the Fame or Wealth areas of the home. These areas of your home are definitely hot, as they also reflect…
Yep, crazy times. It’s been a while since I talked to many of you about this.
I’ve been observing changes in the family unit so I can help.
I wish to tell you about my observations, not just about basic Feng Shui, progress does affect energy in the homes. This about changes to the immediate households in these shifting times.
~In the past year, while moving our work space into our homes, then, adding more devises and modems… our…
Wood-people Are Energetic!
Wood-people are the ‘mover’s and shakers’! Wood-people are the busiest people around! They have great ideas! They have energy! They have the means to ‘make it happen’!
YES! YES! And, YES, they DO like to use LOTS of exclamation marks!!!
If you want the job done, give the task to the busiest person; a person whose dominant element is Wood!
The Wood Element is represented with the vibrant energy of spring. A time of growth, high energy…
Feng shui for your car? How does this work?
Your car is an extension of your home and property. Many of the same principles in your home apply to your car; keeping it neat, tidy and well maintained.
What you may not realize is that you can place the bagua* onto your car!
The driver’s door is your ‘entryway’, the mouth-of-chi, and represents your career path. WOW! Your vehicle is part of the family as well as all your accumulative…
Refrigerator Feng Shui
How do you feng shui a refrigerator? So what’s this all about? We’ll, actually, you can feng shui anything. But, why? What’s the point?
Well, everything depends on the ‘intention’ you set.
If the intension is to eat well, balanced meals and snacks, we need to arrange healthy foods so they are easy to find.
This is the season that we all go indoors and start eating larger meals including Hallowe’en candy, baked goods, pies, more pies…
As daylight savings time shifts back, we find cooler and darker days amongst us. Many people consciously and sub-consciously get ready to hibernate for several months in the northern hemisphere.
Have you noticed that people’s postures change when they are facing the cold? It seems very natural to hunch down and protect ourselves from the elements; carrying weighted back packs and loaded down with extra clothing.
I understand, and I sometimes fall into this pose myself.
Posture is KEY for…
