I’m just like you, dear reader. I try to lead a life of a ‘responsible citizen’; I pay taxes, support local industries and recycle. I walk a clean path and try not to judge others.

Mindfulness is a practise that allows you to actually forget about the ‘stuff’ going on around you, and focus on the task-at-hand. Mindfulness takes discipline. In feng shui, the practise of mindfulness is most important as this allows a way to cut through the distractions and find out what is really going…

Create a Water Feature without Water! Many of my clients look at me sideways when I suggest a water feature; my own husband included. (But, he is coming around slowly.) The ‘representation’ of water in feng shui is related to Career, your Life Path and also helps with Wealth and Family support.
