We are going to dive deeper into The Five Elements again today; The Cycle of Life has a fantastic reference with these elements. We’ve talked a lot about these elements over the years, and I have not focused on this sequence.

Earth-people are Often Stuck in the Middle An earth-type personality is much like the tangible earth; solid, grounded and stable.

In the working world, people with earth personalities are the best choice to train new employees. Their patience and relaxed nature is very non-threatening. They have a knack to organize and compile data, and remember to send a card for every…

Your Words are Your Wand So, you want less stress? I hear this all the time. Feng Shui helps tremendously to reduce stress in many ways: Your visual setting can be staged just for you: less clutter is less stressful. You can surround yourself with the things and colors you love. You can sing praises and gratitude to the universe. You can meditate until the ‘cows come home’. After all the work we DO to create less-stress, we still continue…

REAL LIFE CASES; PEDEGO ELECTRIC BIKE SHOP THE CALL: Ann MacLennan (her real name) called me for a specific reason: She had decided her next chapter in life was to be a Retail Store Owner. Ann procured a Dealership Agreement with PEDEGO Electric Bikes, found a location in Vancouver, did the research for her specialty project and now needed my help to open shop.

Read MoreI just had to take this picture of GOOD FENG SHUI! It would appear that orange is still ‘in’ this fall, and it is better used on a smaller scale. This picture was taken at Rothman’s and Co. (AKA: R & Co, Inc.) It reveals a beautiful king-sized bed and supporting headboard, with a soft pewter stain. The textiles they chose for this display are also a classy, pewter grey and crisp white combination. The orange designs on the pillows…

Today we have Pre-War Traditionalists, Post-war/baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (where did they go?) and the Millenniums, all walking the earth at the same time! Can we all learn to communicate and get along? Each generation older or younger than you has experienced different influences in the world that have formed their lives; with different technology, new inventions to use, new parenting techniques to adopt, etc. I remember my son and his friend at the old family cottage,…

The ‘Royal WE’ It is easy to fall into a routine when we are comfortable in a relationship. I think that is part of the ‘beauty’ of a long term relationship.
