You’ll be surprised, how much less you accomplish on the short days of winter. These grey skies make everyone lose interest in all activities. No wonder that we run out of ‘time’ to get things completed.
The long days of winter were designated long ago for us to slow down, save precious energy for any catastrophe, and hibernate until spring. In reality, our bodies are in hibernation mode and our brain logic tells us that we are in planning…

The Numbers Game: What can numbers tell us about a name, a title or business?
The study of numbers and how they relate with humans and their activities has been around for the ages. Numerology is a separate science from feng shui, but many of these core facts are related and put into play. This knowledge can reinforce, help with a task or validate a decision. Each number has aspects similar…
Some days, like today as I write this, it is really difficult to crawl out of bed. The snowdrops are poking their heads up but the sunny mornings are still so far away. In these dark and gloomy months we need to take care of ourselves. Being in charge is important in feng shui; so make something happen.
I like to share a few things that could make you smile today.
Have lunch with someone who makes you laugh.

Are you a lucky person? -Anytime you can have an advantage, consider it lucky!
Some people carry a rabbit’s foot, others have a piece of clothing to wear on ‘special days’. And many fly by the seat-of-their-pants waiting for a ‘lucky break’. Can you manipulate the odds to attract luck into your life? Or, can you calculate the odds and find advantage in each situation?
Feng shui is all about the energy. Chi-energy is present in every…
It has been 50 years since the animated version of ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ burst into television! It was in full colour and I remember it all! I was seven years old and mesmerized! WOW! No one then realized it would become a classic; an icon to promote ‘peace and good will towards men’. I love that Linus was the scholar in the story.
I was able to catch the amazing window displays in Macy’s NYC last week! The windows…
Greetings!
Yes, the holidays are here and I can’t think of a better thing to do than visit the greenhouses and take in the bright colours and scents of fall. Colour therapy is important this time of year! I was able to visit Allan Gardens while visiting Toronto last week, and here are a few pictures to share!
Happy Holidays!

Raise the Chi!
When you make an effort to present yourself with a positive effort, you will attract more respect; opportunities will unfold.
Q: What does feng shui say about ripped jeans and distressed clothing? Why does it seem that people are ‘dressing down’ in order to ‘dress up’? Does this make any sense? Thanks.
A: Yes, it is interesting how the fashion industry can justify anything as long as they have an audience.
People are drawn to drama; bad…
A large majority of our senior population are water-people. These individuals have worked hard in their lives, specialists in their professions and have experienced many of life’s lessons. They bring a plethora of knowledge to the equation. Experience has shaped their philosophy and we look up to them for guidance and direction. Similar to the wise owl in the woods, people turn to them for spiritual guidance and understanding.
Water people enjoy solitude and quiet environments to process their contemplative…
House Plants Can Purify the Air
We will be spending more time indoors over the next few months, so providing a healthy indoor environment for everyone is high on the list!
Not only do house plants provide oxygen/carbon monoxide exchange to cleanse the air, some varieties can detoxify! How cool is that?
As a feng shui Consultant, I often suggest live plants to counter the effects of EMF’s (Electro-Magnetic Fields) from computers and wireless technology. I recommend many of these…
More and more adults are finding time to have fun!
Bringing back a little child’s play can lighten your mood and bring opportunities to meet new people.
I‘m pleased and surprised at a small group of ‘Over 55’s’ gathering to fly their kites! Not just ordinary kites, but stunt kites!
I overheard a conversation this past weekend: “Hey! Want to meet at Vanier Park and fly our kites this afternoon?” Did you know there are instructions on a website to…
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
