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…
Riding out the Drought
Imagine that you are settled into your business: you have a game plan, doing what you need to do, following what the clients’ needs are… and something changes.
Your cash flow gets interrupted and there’s been a shift in the industry. The leads have dried up and a few related businesses have died on the vine. You’re still okay, and you are still standing. But what happened? Hmmm. It’s time to look around.
And, you are…
The trees are changing daily, almost moment by moment; displaying their colours of red, orange and gold. They can be reflective, energizing or anywhere in between!
‘Colour’ is one of the basic cures in feng shui. It is one of the easiest cures to comprehend, and yet, it is often subliminal. When connecting with a colour, a purpose arises, a slow churn in the brain to process…hmmm. The task becomes passionate, a drive or a magnetism that resonates within. Our…
Evergreen trees are magnificent in the North West part of North America. In fact, they are magnificent anywhere in the world! They stand tall and proud. They have respect and trust in a society as they provide food and homes for birds and animals. Some evergreen trees can live more than 500 years and maintain a powerful spiritual presence.
As evergreen trees have energy, they have protective qualities; therefore make a wise choice to plant in your front yard. Their…
When a person describes their day as ‘being stressful’: it can be perceived as a tactic to attract attention or a weakness in their coping skills.
Attracting attention by the ‘woe is me’ habit often begins at an early age. This pattern works as a way to get attention. If this is a constant predicament, you may get sucked in. If compelled to offer a sympathetic ear, you can wait for the crisis to run its course or you could…
Q: Hi Kathryn. I purchased a suit at the Thrift Store and my girlfriend says it is creepy. Could this have a hex on it or something? How can a suit be creepy?
A: When purchasing anything previously-owned you inherit predecessor-chi. Chi-energy comes in many forms. When the previous owner is not around for evaluation, you gamble with that energy.
We all make purchases ‘in good faith’, and we expect the seller to meet that same standard. Whether we…
I just had to take this picture of GOOD FENG SHUI! It would appear that orange is still ‘in’ this fall, and it is better used on a smaller scale.
This picture was taken at Rothman’s and Co. (AKA: R & Co, Inc.) It reveals a beautiful king-sized bed and supporting headboard, with a soft pewter stain. The textiles they chose for this display are also a classy, pewter grey and crisp white combination.
The orange designs on the pillows…
Doing a live interview could create a sense of disconnection when I can’t see the other person. – Chatting with Kathryn however, was the exact opposite. Her interesting comments and questions had me thinking on my feet and I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue. I love that she adds intriguing bits of feng shui wisdom that tie into the topic and open a whole new avenue of discussion. She stays true to her focus of providing Practical Solutions even when dealing with more esoteric subjects.
