‘Spindle City’ is the nick-name I gave to my new cottage-home. Yep, a solid, 1982 two-story home with tons of room for my stuff -and spindles on every floor! There are oak spindles everywhere: the porch, two decks, a dock, a two-story staircase, a cat-walk overhead and all around a sunken living room! What were we thinking? We were hunting for the ‘right place’ for almost 2 years; what we found was that newer homes had smaller properties. Years ago…

Have you fallen for the ‘ol -‘BUY TWO and SAVE’? That’s OK, I’m guilty too! The problem is, what do you do with the extra item(s)? Marketing and retail competition is cluttering up our homes and lives! LOL! Really! Q: Can we resist an ‘extra’ bag of nachos? – Just in case the kids bring their friends over. Q: Can we resist a giant case – cans of tuna fish? What about salsa? And, other foods? Q: Where do you…

THE CALL Sandy called me without a specific need; and yet, she was disappointed with several areas of her life. She felt depressed. Her life seemed to be stalled. She was off work on sick leave and her kids weren’t talking to her! Does feng shui have any ideas that could help her get her life back? (Yes! Of course!) THE REALITY When I arrived at her home, a small condominium on the ground floor, I noticed there were…

It’s after mid-night and you’re wide awake, again! What happened this time? Our bodies fall asleep, but much of the brain sub-conscious, is still awake – protecting us from saber-tooth tigers and monsters under the bed! It is how we are conditioned. Yet, this seems rather extreme; considering I woke up because of a toothbrush the other night! Really! When our ‘sleep mode’ shifts through deep sleep and its rhythms, the sub-conscious picks up all kinds of information; and tries…

Q: What is this I hear about you moving? Are you still going to have your newsletter? (FYI: this was an actual question this month, word for word.) A: Yes, this is true! My family of two adults, two dogs and a cat are moving! In addition, absolutely I will still offer my newsletter! Each month I ponder ‘what is going on in the world’, and then, I try to sort it out so that all of you can…

We learn as children in school, or organizations like girl guides and scouts, that doing ‘good deeds’ is a good thing; but these lessons go much further in life. When we do something ‘nice’ for someone, it doesn’t have to be a big deal. The little things such as opening a door for someone, reaching for something off the top shelve, offering encouragement, carry a package or even a smile can brighten someone’s day! One of ‘The Five Lucks’ in…

Q: Hey Kathryn, I’ve just moved and I was looking at ways to rearrange my living room to use more feng shui. Do you have a book on living rooms and kitchens? Thanks, Deni A: Hi Deni! Thanks for your note. Interesting enough, when a home has ‘good feng shui’, it has the ‘feeling’ of grounding, peace, safety, balance and harmony. In many cases, it can be almost undetectable! My personal book focuses on offices and careers, ‘Practical feng Shui…

A GREAT COLOR has the potential to make our day. It can bring positive attitude, confidence and joy when used properly in your home! Colour relates to our psyche and changes from season to season; it can affect our mental health. Ever wonder why you liked something one week, and hated it the next? Well, the energy keeps changing in our lives. I worked many years as a paint consultant. During a home visit, I would evaluate the customer’s…

I’m just like you, dear reader. I try to lead a life of a ‘responsible citizen’; I pay taxes, support local industries and recycle. I walk a clean path and try not to judge others. And yet, I feel really ‘ticked off’ dealing with construction and bad weather for months and months on end! How is anyone going to FIND ME or HEAR ME with all this going on? Everyone seems to be in a rush! Stress in our lives…
