Ask Kathryn about Boots Under the Bed

Q: Hi Kathryn! My husband and I are doing some earthquake preparations out here on the west coast. The booklet suggests we have a pair of boots under the bed for quick evacuation should this happen while sleeping. I heard it was bad feng shui to leave shoes and boots under the bed, especially for a long time. What do you think? Amy A: You are correct! Leaving boots and shoes under the bed is a no-no!

You may be failing to include a bigger picture…. your property outside. This spring may be the time to give a boost to this area – and get it working for you! The property you live on, regardless of how big, how small, it is an extension of you and the family. The outside of your property can…

Ask Kathryn About Money Frogs

  Q: Hi Kathryn, Can you tell me more about the Money frog? I heard they were lucky for wealth in feng shui so I bought one with a gold coin in his mouth.

On the LOOKOUT for Color!

I LOVE COLOR! Colour brings me a mood, a flavor-of-the-day, and makes me smile! I’m always on the lookout for more opportunities to share color with my readers. I found this cute little spot in San Diego last month, a slice of Spanish Village. Someone had the idea to paint the worn out flagstone blocks with GREAT COLOR. I was able to take a few pictures before they opened for the day. This hidden gem, inside Balboa Park, was filled…

The Powerful Influence of Deep Water

The Powerful Influence of Deep Water A large majority of our senior population are water-people. The majority of ‘deep water’ individuals are hard workers and have experienced many of life’s hard lessons. In earlier years, they may have been a strong earth or metal element; a sensitive nurturer or a technical whiz in their profession. Now they bring a plethora of knowledge to any situation. Experience has shaped their philosophy and we can look to them for guidance and direction.…

Colour Your World with NEW SHEETS!

  Spring is still around the corner, but already, the anticipation is killing me! This year, I just can’t wait. I’m tired of the grey-blue skies, the rain and the fog so thick it hides the mountains to the north. These last few months have been long. (As I write this, the sun came out through the clouds!) I went for a walk on West Broadway this weekend and I found a new store with SO MUCH COLOUR, you can’t…
