Have you fallen for the ‘ol -‘BUY TWO and SAVE’?
That’s OK, I’m guilty too!
The problem is, what do you do with the extra item(s)?
Marketing and retail competition is cluttering up our homes and lives! LOL! Really!
Q: Can we resist an ‘extra’ bag of nachos? – Just in case the kids bring their friends over.
Q: Can we resist a giant case – cans of tuna fish? What about salsa? And, other foods?
Q: Where do you…
The morning after a move is a bit overwhelming!
A few comments about our move this summer:
Change.
Life is continually changing. Taking control of one’s life to move across the country, a new job and new neighbors takes courage and confidence. These changes can be overwhelming for many, so I’ve heard from many of you. If you jump too early, due to frustration and emotional toil, you will bring all your troubles/burdens along with you.
One piece of…
Ask Kathryn: Today we have a dialogue to answer a question as, more clarify is needed.
Q: Hi Kathryn, I would like to know in my bedroom, my spiritual setup is
in the far right corner (northwest corner facing the east). Is this a
good spot? Belle
A: Hi Bellel! Good to hear from you!
Before I answer your question, I have a few questions!
1 what is the purpose of enhancing a spiritual area in you bedroom?

REAL LIFE CASES; PEDEGO ELECTRIC BIKE SHOP
THE CALL: Ann MacLennan (her real name) called me for a specific reason: She had decided her next chapter in life was to be a Retail Store Owner. Ann procured a Dealership Agreement with PEDEGO Electric Bikes, found a location in Vancouver, did the research for her specialty project and now needed my help to open shop. She had guidelines and a logo from the Head Office; yet unsure of colour schemes,…
THE CALL
Sandy called me without a specific need; and yet, she was disappointed with several areas of her life. She felt depressed. Her life seemed to be stalled. She was off work on sick leave and her kids weren’t talking to her! Does feng shui have any ideas that could help her get her life back?
(Yes! Of course!)
THE REALITY
When I arrived at her home, a small condominium on the ground floor, I noticed there were…
It used to be ‘normal’ to be born, live and die all in the same house; or at least, the same city.
Society these days makes it possible, and probable, for people & families to move more frequently. This could be related to a fluctuating job market, unstable politics or perhaps a marriage commitment; ‘for better or worse’.
So many people have shared with me their angst, about relocating this year! There seems to be a mass movement!
We…
THE CALL
Chris initially called me to her home to assess the flow in her home. Her 3 grown children all moved back to the family home for the summer, and OMG, the energy was a bit different with 5 adults in the house.
Yes, their lives were on different time zones and their working schedules were all over the place, so we had to create a boundary between the ‘common areas’ and the ‘private areas’, as everyone needed…
Q: Hey Kathryn, I’ve just moved and I was looking at ways to rearrange my living room to use more feng shui. Do you have a book on living rooms and kitchens? Thanks, Deni
A: Hi Deni! Thanks for your note. Interesting enough, when a home has ‘good feng shui’, it has the ‘feeling’ of grounding, peace, safety, balance and harmony. In many cases, it can be almost undetectable!
My personal book focuses on offices and careers, ‘Practical feng Shui…
Q: Hi Kathryn! We will be purchasing a new queen-sized bed. I’ve read a bit online – do you have any reference material I can read? I’m assuming this: -NOT A storage bed (no drawers etc underneath) And, should it have a higher foot board?
I’ve been looking for a while, and honestly, haven’t seen much that appeals to me.
Thanks, Louann
A: Great Question, Louann! Here are a few quick tips when purchasing a new bed!
First, I’m…
A GREAT COLOR has the potential to make our day. It can bring positive attitude, confidence and joy when used properly in your home!
Colour relates to our psyche and changes from season to season; it can affect our mental health. Ever wonder why you liked something one week, and hated it the next? Well, the energy keeps changing in our lives.
I worked many years as a paint consultant. During a home visit, I would evaluate the customer’s…
I have had the pleasure of working with Kathryn for almost a decade, and have always enjoyed her warm and thoughtful manner. Over the years she has generously offered a few excellent tips and ideas for my office, so when I decided I wanted to make some changes in my personal life, I asked Kathryn to come to my home for a Feng Shui Consultation.
During our initial conversation about my areas of focus, she immediately came up with a number of easy and immediate changes to support those areas. One … Read more
