Tam’s Makeover by Kathryn Wilking
Just after the Vietnam War, a young 19 yr old girl decides to set up a pub near China Beach to provide for herself and infant child.
Tam was pleased to be chosen to cook for the American’s during the war. She learned to speak English, learned to cook American style hamburgers and rode with the soldiers in the massive convoys that curved through the mountains. An amazing story! When opportunity arose, she would…
Someone sleeping …in my Office?
There seems to be a problem in many homes: one room short! Many families are trying to accommodate a guest room, TV room, and a home office all in one space.
A large percentage of families are spread out as jobs and opportunities send them out to the four corners of the earth. And when the extended family comes to visit, well, they need a place to sleep!
So, there goes the office!

A Healthy Boost is Found in the Heart of Your Home!
Let’s face it; it is cold and flu season!
Where to turn and what to do, to strengthen our bodies against germs and virus’?
In feng shui, the Health Area is located in the center of your room, or your home. Because a person’s health is a central nucleus to their entire life, this does make sense. In some cases, access to this Health area can be blocked…
Bringing Heritage Art Back, to the Future
By Kathryn Wilking
Art work and furnishings are important as they help set the tone for your business. If your business resists budgeting for furnishings and décor, you may be missing an opportunity to make a connection with your clients. Think of the old stereotype of a dentist’s office; sterile and uncomfortable with an assortment of out-dated magazines. You need to do better. If it is ‘normal’ to have clients waiting in your…
Office Yin and Yang
Yin and yang are energy terms in feng shui. In fact there are many different combinations and levels of yin and yang.
Seen as opposites; the image of two tadpoles swimming intertwined with the other. Neither one is completely pure white, nor pure black, as there is always an element of the other hidden inside.
Yin is feminine: soft, gentle, and nurturing. Yang is masculine: strong, energetic and aggressive.
When applying this concept to your work…
The ‘official Bagua’ is an octagon shape. Its use was similar to a compass in centuries past, containing information about earth, man and the heavens. This is very auspicious tool that was carried from town to town, it offers guidance and protection.
This particular wooden Bagua with a convex mirror is for use outside only. When hung from a doorway, it will reflect negative energy with the mirror and provide balance within the bagua wheel.
For many consultations, a…
Rethinking the Bucket List
Are we happy yet? We have all been working for many years, saving our money, trying to plan for the future… and the unknown. The planning is one thing and life’s surprises are another! I’ve noticed that many people begin talking about their ‘bucket lists’ whenever a ‘big’ birthday rolls around. So, what is wrong with that? Nothing, but perhaps it is the little nudge you need to actually start the list.
Feng shui can help…
When purchasing crystals as a ‘cure’, be sure to buy a quality product!
08/31/2014
The Crystal Speaks!
When using a crystal for a cure, it applies energy-enhancing qualities. It can either gather or disperse chi-energy. So, how does that work?
Chi-energy is able to move very quickly through a long hallway. If the intention is to ‘slow down’ the aggressive chi, a crystal can be placed mid-way through the hall. The multi-facets on the crystal will absorb and…
The Hummingbirds have been most active lately! They are feeding constantly right now to get ready for their long migration. Because of their small size and high degree of activity, they lose body heat rather quickly, and need to digest their food quickly. They will eat for several days straight, storing up food and energy in their tiny bodies ready to make the long journey. I’ve seen them out almost every morning this week!
Did you know there are over…

What is Your Management Style?
Can you find a balance between being a hard-nosed, results-oriented boss and a hovering, nagging mother hen?
Of course you can! Each team manager may have the same goals, but they can take a different route to get there!
We are all unique. When we first become a manager, we try to mirror our most successful example, good or bad. When we’ve tripped up a few times, we recover, and then…
