When planning your garden, make a colorful choice!
I LOVE GARDENS!
Planning another tweak in your garden? Making room for more colour, shapes or drama?
Sometimes we are attracted to a colour, a smell, or just something different. There’s no reason; but perhaps there is!
Ann Marie Holmes writes in her book, Earth Spirit Living, (I love this book!) -choosing the best plants to cultivate the BEST ENERGY for you and your space.
I found this fascinating; and had to…
View from CONDO unit in Vancouver: Is this dangerous to your health?
Hello Kathryn,
We would like some advice as our unit looks out to a lane. Like a T intersection. The lane goes for about 4 blocks (south) and you can see the end of it. I’ve attached a photo.
Our unit is SW exposure. We would like to know whether this is a bad thing and if so, what is the best solution. Thanks Greg

Hi…
It’s spring, and we’re waking from hibernation!
We Can Do This!
Are you stuck in lethargy and need to raise the bar?
Raising the chi-energy in your space is EXACTLY what you need to do!
Have you ever come home from vacation, turned the key and stepped inside, only to feel ugh…? What happened while you were away? -The life-force of the house has died!
This can often happen through the winter months when everything gets ‘closed off’ for the…
Vision for a Good Life:
As we age and move into a slower pace, many of us finally have the time to stop, slow down and reflect.
Reflecting on the past can bring warmth to heart, but for many – too much time often regurgitates past regrets and remorse. It doesn’t have to be that way!
The time between work and when the kids/grand-kids come to visit is the time to look at your life! I’ve often talked about…
Earth People Are On Middle Ground
The element focus for this ‘earth property’ is actual earth. 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 the ones standing on 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…
So, it’s a brand new year; or maybe it’s a brand new something. Yet, you are stuck. Do you find yourself spending too much time looking at the (unknown) future, or looking back with regret!
Either way, you aren’t PRESENT to make any decisions! – No wonder that you’re stuck!
I’ve been there. I understand.
Moving forward has risk; fear of the unknown. The ‘unknown’ component often has a cost factor, a time factor and could have an impact…

CH-CH-Changes
While change can be good for the soul, many people resist!
When people resist change, it often means they are already happy in the moment. They ask, “Why change?” They like the age of their kids, they like their time together, and (bonus) the in-laws live two hours away! To sum it up, the balance in their life seems to be working for now, and there is no reason to change!
As we know,…
The ABC’S of Christmas
It was a few years back, just after we’d moved from southern Ontario to Vancouver BC., when my husband Stephen and I looked at each other with total exasperation. The topic of Xmas had been placed on the table. Sigh…
The boys were grown and had moved along. One was in South America doing his own thing with a group of artists and the other had left for Australia to find work. There wasn’t even a…
Music and Vibration to Relax
Is the traffic getting worse; or is it my imagination? Do you experience a time-warp every time you get on the computer? Is there any leftover time to sort mail, do laundry, shop for groceries and gas up the car?
So often, we get stuck in a rut and can’t find our way out!
You are not alone! I’ve talked with many friends, family and clients in different stages of life; they all get ‘stuck’…
Style Your Home
Can You Spot the DIFFERENCE? Of course you can! A replacement dining room fixture can make, or break, the atmosphere!
PIC ONE: The existing lighting fixture had 8 light bulbs, and yet, the lights were not directed anywhere; their glow dispersed everywhere. Extra metal loops and curves distracted attention from neighboring artwork and collectibles.
PIC TWO: This lighting fixture has similar components, yet only 5 light bulbs. These bulbs are ‘protected’ by 60 small,…
Being a guest on Kathryn’s radio show, Practical Solutions for Life, was a great experience. Kathryn took me step by step to prepare me for what to expect (especially in case of technical difficulties). She asked very clear questions and was a generous and supportive host. She put me at ease and the show came out great!
