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.…
I tried this in the 70 and 80’s. The motive: if I really, really thought about being rich, would I actually become rich? Well, it was worth a try!
Another mantra that was popular back then: “If you think like a millionaire and act like a millionaire, then eventually, you will become a millionaire!”
How many of us bought into that one? (Right up until the first Visa bill came in!)
The word ‘rich’ is a term defined by each…
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.

It should be fun meeting new people over the holidays, but socializing can be stressful for many people.
So develop a strategy first and do your homework: assess your own ‘things I like to do’ list and know which activities and personalities that best support your energy.
Whether you are looking for dates or new friends, ask these few questions at your next gathering; the answers will tell you a great deal about someone. You can figure out if there…
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…
Ask Kathryn
Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my office.
I work in Toronto at an administrative building close to the U of T. The buildings are old, old, old and sliced into skinny offices with high ceilings; think of the Harry Potter series with dark wood, heavy trim and windows up about 16 or 20’. My office is only 10-12 feet wide and about 30’ long with a window at the end.
I…
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…
OMG! How do those boxes in the closet expand over the years?
When you feel frustrated trying to get ahead, clearing clutter with feng shui can help you find space for new opportunities.
The spiral begins when you procrastinate. Do you want to start moving?
Clutter can happen in so many forms: physical, mental, and emotional. Then, it can morph into specifics of: closet, drawers, desk, pet stuff, in box, out box, recycling, laundry, purses, cars, general cleaning… and so…
Yes, mirrors are used in feng shui, and it can be a mystery where they fit in. …mirrors have a big part to play if they are used correctly.
Mirrors can be the ‘window to the soul’, but what are they actually reflecting? The magic lies in the application. Many people don’t know what to do with a large mirror and it ends up slapped onto a walk reflecting a ceiling fan. YIKES!
A properly placed mirror has the…
Your Body works all day and night to keep things balanced.
Do you wonder why we are advised to eat a full breakfast in the morning? ~Our bodies have been busy all night!
This is a diagram from the book `Between Heaven and Earth` by Harriet Beinfield and Efrem Korngold, in my personal library. It contains all kinds of goodies about the body and healing process from an east-meets-west philosophy. This is brilliant!
Most of the maintenance responsibilities in our…
I have a few more questions (after the Home Harmony visit) about things but I’ll start off with an update. I am feeling very good and my space feels very good and fresh as well. I am loving the new layout with my desk and I just got rid of one of my chairs yesterday. The new spaces for the art feels right. I’ve decluttered the area behind my desk, and I’ve made a few beautiful little touch-ups in my bedroom to hopefully attract some more wealth! No further on the job search because I’m j… Read more
