Practical Steps to Success #4: Listen for the Pregnant Pause
A large portion of the population today are ‘plugged in’, getting to and from their work place each day. It has become routine to see everyone connected to another world while going about the daily mundane chores. Perhaps, some are enhancing their lives with ‘background’ noise. Perhaps, this is becoming too much of a social norm.
As an observer, I wonder while I cross the street: If I ask for…
McDonald’s comes to Vietnam!
First world food comes to Third World country:
But, Is it too much to ask for a stove and a bed?Many of you know my son Jeremy is living in Vietnam. He is doing a number of things, mostly teaching English and driving Jeeps for tourists. The language is often a huge barrier, but sometimes the culture is…different.
Jeremy moved across DaNang, almost a year ago. He was exasperated trying to find a nice, clean place,…
Practical Steps for Success #3 : Want to Act Like a Pro? Jump in!
Have you known someone that ‘all of a sudden’ jumps into a new hobby/sport and goes out to spend wildly on ‘the outfit’, the tools and all the bells?
Have you ever seen something so crazy? Well, the ‘jumping in’ attitude shows THEY ARE COMMITTED! It can be crazy, expensive, and it can be a surprise to watch. In reality, something has changed: they are trying…
Where is your Ancestor Chi-energy?
I have discussed chi-energy previously and as you know, it can be found in many forms. Ancestor-chi is passed along via the blood lines that connect you with your direct ancestors.
My dad’s working career was a Newspaper Ad-man. He did the ‘copy’ for all the ads and special features that ran in the newspapers back in Ontario. He came from a bloodline of serious artists. When retired, he turned his attention to paintings…
Practical Steps for Success #1 : Choosing a desk area
In order to maintain control and make sound decisions, you need to support your working world. Interesting enough, more and more people have ‘portable work stations’ and claim they can work anywhere. Good for them! I agree. This flexible life style is wonderful.
To debate this: when you need to complete a project or work on a big presentation, you may have to look harder to find the best place…
Good Vibes in the Bedroom by Kathryn Wilking
We all know how ‘sacred’ the master bedroom is; but is it getting the attention it really needs for a solid relationship? Often the master bedroom is the last room to get any attention!
In feng shui, the main objective of the ‘relationship area’ is to have this area balanced in order to maintain an equal partnership. The master bed should be large enough to support both parties, without a crack…
Powerful Threes
I tuned in to Marie TV earlier this week while she was talking with Ned Hallowell. They were talking about To-do lists. (So was I! Check out my blog from last week -The To-do List.)
Ned suggested; pick three things off your To-do list each day, and do them well. What a concept! Most days, just logging in to the computer can distract us – and the To-do list continues to grow. So, having a goal to complete…
Do you know… How many times a person re-writes their To-do list?
I’m not sure, but it must be a lot! Each day, people roll over all the tasks they haven’t worked into their schedule.
It is like we are purposefully sabotaging our lives!
The endless list: Are we all overbooked? Are we all frozen with indecision or distracted dealing with the merry-go-round-of-life?
Feng shui is all about getting organized and taking control of your life. Here is one great…
Avoiding the Valentine Syndrome
Okay, it is almost here again this year: Valentine’s Day. This day is almost guaranteed to bring mental anguish to a confident, productive executive. So, what is this all about?
It is supposed to be, a declaration or validation of love between two people. And, the media tells us we need to be running around looking for the perfect gift! The hype is often over-the-top and unrealistic for regular couples. So, why is this concept difficult…
Embrace Your Chaos
Did I read this right? Embrace your chaos?
Absolutely! In order for you to try and maintain order in the office, you do need to identify what is going on during your day.
Side-tracked? Are you spending too much time ‘doing stuff’ and not completing anything? Are you driving these distractions? Time to start being accountable for your time; communication with e-mails, texts, games and issues with deadlines. Assign a reasonable time for personal tasks and…
We hired Kathryn to provide a Feng Shui consultation to improve the energy in our home, for all family members, and to improve our business which we operate from home. We did an extensive search online for all of the Feng Shui Consultants in the Vancouver area. We phoned several consultants and found that Kathryn was the best person for our needs.
She does some preliminary work prior to the actual in-home consultation and came very prepared.
We were impressed with her comprehensive knowledge… Read more
