SUCCESS can found in so many areas! Set yourself up for SUCCESS every day, and reap the rewards! I had an opportunity to hire a team using the Feng Shui Energy Elements again this past spring. My client wanted to test a new venue to see if their footwear could sell in a casual, nonthreatening environment. I had restrictions with signage and advertising as we were part of a larger group. Therefore, I had to change my plan:…

We all have an energetic field around us. Chi-energy is unseen in our environment, but can be measured with sensitive tools searching for disruptions in energy patterns. Personal Energy Fields in humans and pets can be detected using the same dowsing tools used for geopathic stress. Personal chi-energy is also invisible to the naked eye, and depending on our moods, can influence our family positive or negative. This unseen energy can either blend into the family lifestyle, or cause…

Today we have Pre-War Traditionalists, Post-war/baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (where did they go?) and the Millenniums, all walking the earth at the same time! Can we all learn to communicate and get along? Each generation older or younger than you has experienced different influences in the world that have formed their lives; with different technology, new inventions to use, new parenting techniques to adopt, etc. I remember my son and his friend at the old family cottage,…
Read MoreThe dilemma: How many hobbies can we start up at once? How many ‘collectibles’ can we display?How to find the balance of how much ‘stuff’ one can handle at one time? And, how much room we need to store memorabilia? Where is the line? When we de-clutter to the extreme, we deprive ourselves of the memories, incentives and items that feed our soul.

Read MoreDid I read this right? Can you learn to manage chaos? Yes, if you can maintain a handle on your priorities! I received a phone call last week from a middle-aged lady who was recently in a car accident. She is fortunate enough not to need require a wheelchair or multiple surgeries, but she is ‘off work’ for an extended length of time. She explains that she is ‘not doing anything, yet her life feels out of control’. She…

Read MoreThe Littlest Buddha The little guy is barely 3” high (7cm), solid jade and full of life! He was acquired on impulse. I am a Christian, and yet I’ve explored many of the Buddhist philosophies within the study of feng shui. I had no intention of bringing a Buddha into my house, converting to Buddhism or starting a shrine. So, I’m a little reluctant to admit how much I am enjoying his company. I was in a busy Jade Factory…
Read MoreBad feng shui: Is there such a thing? Simply put: if anything is out-of-square, out-of-line, or in-the-way, it is bad feng shui. I hate using the word ‘bad’; but often, that is what it is, bad feng shui. If a space feels good to you, then don’t worry. If it doesn’t feel good: look around and see if there is something you can change. I’m happy when people are empowered to make a change! I think it is great when…
