The Family: An ‘Area of Life’ I don’t usually write about.
This auspicious area has the strength to improve relationships with those close to you; affecting family, friends, relatives and coworkers (different kind of family) This is an area-of-life full of intense proportion; we should pay attention to this space!
There is SO MUCH MORE to this family area!
The Family Area also encompasses our heritage line and all the baggage it entails: familial or tribal behaviours, ancestral beliefs…
Q: Hi Kathryn! We will be purchasing a new queen-sized bed. I’ve read a bit online – do you have any reference material I can read? I’m assuming this: -NOT A storage bed (no drawers etc underneath) And, should it have a higher foot board?
I’ve been looking for a while, and honestly, haven’t seen much that appeals to me.
Thanks, Louann
A: Great Question, Louann! Here are a few quick tips when purchasing a new bed!
First, I’m…

Is there something out of balance in your life? Something that feels a bit odd and you can’t sort it out? ~Every change in your life can test your coping skills!
Feng Shui can help you attain this balance and maneuver the energy to work for you.
Many of us are so busy with work and chores we often forget about other areas in life that can help us…
In the next few months, you may find the blues setting in; waiting for spring to arrive. Hibernation can be a option for you. How could you bring some spice into your world?
~I looked up synonyms for the word ‘spice’; the top three words I liked best were interest, pizazz and enhance! Very cool, indeed!
In feng shui we talk a lot about ‘enhancing your space’. ‘Enhancements’ can be as small as a bead on a blouse, or as…
When we are unbalanced, there are so many factors to sort out; and it is difficult to figure out what to eat! Many of the decisions will be based on what is available. Chinese medicine has revealed the research; it is like peeling an onion, opening new lines of insight, and then, slicing it again!
Having said that, there are so many variables in a diagnosis as to what to eat. Let’s try and sort out a few things today.…
Change; it is inevitable. Coming out of hibernation each year is a BIG DEAL! All of a sudden, one day you’ll be tired of wearing the same clothes all winter and look forward to a change. With daylight savings time, there is energy for a walk after dinner. These are all signs of the change coming ahead!
Many of us have been sick or ‘under the weather’ this past month; could it be the SAD syndrome (Seasonal Affective Disorder)? That…
Q: Kathryn, I’ve noticed that whenever I ask a feng shui question, the answer begins with ‘that depends’. What is it with the vagueness of this venue that I can’t get a straight answer about how to set up my room and get ahead in life? ~Marie
A: Good question, Marie. And yes, the answer depends on so many factors.
Feng shui is more than moving furniture around and collecting gold coins. Not only do you need to have your…
Create a Water Feature without Water!
Many of my clients look at me sideways when I suggest a water feature; my own husband included. (But, he is coming around slowly.)
The ‘representation’ of water in feng shui is related to Career, your Life Path and also helps with Wealth and Family support. By using a representation of water, rather than ‘real water’, can still maintain support for these areas in your life.
So, why is there so much resistance utilizing…
Q: Kathryn, I’m getting ready to move and clearing out a few things. I came across a box of souvenirs we picked up from our trip to Africa years past and I don’t know if they are good for feng shui or not. I have a couple of masks, some animal carvings and a ceremonial dagger. Can you tell me if they are okay to keep, and where to put them? Or, do I just give them away? Thanks.

Nothing beats the warm cosiness of a fireplace.
Why are we so fascinated with campfires, barbeques, and fireworks; so much that we wish to bring fire into our homes?
Fire and fireplaces have been part of our lives as long as man has been cooking their own food. In the past, a fire would bring us not only warmth, but nourishment for cooked food and afterwards, ambiance. Any ‘fire’ brings people together.
In our modern day life, the actual ‘fire’…
