The New Vision Board is Gratitude

The New Vision Board is Gratitude

  Remember back in January, we were all encouraged to make some sort of Vision Board in order to make this year, the BEST YEAR EVER? Of course! We all ended up finding a system that worked for us; notes in a jar, images on the wall, reminders in our desk… all the things we could dream about for the year ahead…   Did they all materialize for you? If not, there are still a few weeks left… the pressure…

Shades of Seduction

Shades of Seduction

  Shades of Seduction By Kathryn Wilking We all love the colour explosion in the fall. Autumn: the trees change daily, almost moment by moment, displaying their colours of red, orange and gold. They can be reflective, energizing or anywhere in between! The presentation is always inspiring, as colour is one of the basic ‘cures’ in feng shui.  Our lives mingle with the workings of nature and the universe around us; it’s no wonder that colours and seasonal changes have…

Ask Kathryn About Care for Lucky Bamboo

Hi Kathryn, When looking for resources in regards to saving lucky bamboo, I came across your article here:https://www.kathrynwilking.com/ask-kathryn-lucky-bamboo-outgrows-container/. You were kind enough to include your email on the bottom. I received two lucky bamboo stalks in May of 2018, one stalk started turning yellow a few months back and after some online research, I cut the stalk down hoping that new sprouts might come up. There are still some orange/white roots so I have been holding out hope that it…

Good, Better or Best…

    Where do you wish to be? Who do you want to be? Personal challenges crop up every once-in-a while and remind us to tap in, evaluate and perhaps take action with our own personal development. So, who’s scale are we using anyways?   The good- better- best theory is used in our society in many levels. In retail/resale arenas the goods are manufactured with ‘standards’ and specs for each one. In any sector – garments, automotive, building supplies and…

Auspicious Plants for Your Garden

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!

Vision for a Good Life

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…

STUCK in the MUCK

  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…
