‘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 morning after a move is a bit overwhelming! A few comments about our move this summer: Change. Life is continually changing. Taking control of one’s life to move across the country, a new job and new neighbors takes courage and confidence. These changes can be overwhelming for many, so I’ve heard from many of you. If you jump too early, due to frustration and emotional toil, you will bring all your troubles/burdens along with you. One piece of…

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!)

It used to be ‘normal’ to be born, live and die all in the same house; or at least, the same city. Society these days makes it possible, and probable, for people & families to move more frequently. This could be related to a fluctuating job market, unstable politics or perhaps a marriage commitment; ‘for better or worse’. So many people have shared with me their angst, about relocating this year! There seems to be a mass movement! We…

THE CALL Chris initially called me to her home to assess the flow in her home. Her 3 grown children all moved back to the family home for the summer, and OMG, the energy was a bit different with 5 adults in the house. Yes, their lives were on different time zones and their working schedules were all over the place, so we had to create a boundary between the ‘common areas’ and the ‘private areas’, as everyone needed…

You’ve been there before: your brain won’t stop racing, you can’t really sleep; and then you hop in the shower –problem solved! How does this work? There are a couple of reasons: No interruptions: You’ve shut off contact from your phone and family. Having interruptions constantly sabotages your creative mind. There is nothing to learn, and nothing to do but let your ‘muscle memory’ go through the motions of soaping, and washing your body. Let all the other tasks…

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…
