The Shy Entrepreneur

  I met an interesting entrepreneur a few months ago at a business luncheon. She is a personal life-coach, an author and I enjoyed the way she was able to articulate her particular spin on life. We were having a lively conversation. She impressed upon me the need to ‘be quiet’ and ‘to listen’ to clients.  Then, she described herself as ‘shy’. Shy can be a negative word in business; defining someone who is anxious, awkward, fearful, inhibited or timid.…

The Dormer Office Reno

  Architectural challenges are apparent in (almost) everyone’s life. Just because I am a Feng Shui Consultant doesn’t mean that I am exempt from dealing with dysfunctional issues in my personal space! This dormer pop-out in our home was/is the default for my office space. Even thou I applied the best ‘cures’ for this space, something drastic had to be done! The slanted walls were only one issue, as there was another angle with a pitch up to 12 feet…

Ask Kathryn about Ripped Jeans

Raise the Chi! When you make an effort to present yourself with a positive effort, you will attract more respect; opportunities will unfold. Q: What does feng shui say about ripped jeans and distressed clothing? Why does it seem that people are ‘dressing down’ in order to ‘dress up’? Does this make any sense? Thanks. A: Yes, it is interesting how the fashion industry can justify anything as long as they have an audience. People are drawn to drama; bad…

Ask Kathryn about a ‘Harry Potter’ office

    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…

STRESS in the City

When a person describes their day as ‘being stressful’: it can be perceived as a tactic to attract attention or a weakness in their coping skills. Attracting attention by the ‘woe is me’ habit often begins at an early age. This pattern works as a way to get attention. If this is a constant predicament, you may get sucked in. If compelled to offer a sympathetic ear, you can wait for the crisis to run its course or you could…

Ask Kathryn about Purchasing Used Clothing

  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…
