ASK KATHRYN
Q: Kathryn, I’m an entrepreneur who quit my boring job in the corporate world only 10 months ago. The issues I’m having with technology, passwords, updates, viruses and social media take up all day! I don’t have an IT GUY at home to help. I’m thinking of punching out my PC and going back to work. Can feng shui help me?
A: You do sound frustrated. I hear you. Working alone without full-time…
I thought we were headed towards becoming a paperless society…but…OMG! What is a person supposed to do with it all the ‘paperwork’ that turns into clutter? There are people that pile, and people that file. Which one are you??
Paper clutter is one of the biggest irritants in business. It’s not just physical clutter, all clutter affects you mentally and emotionally; it all messes with your focus to move forwards.
In a large office, people are encouraged to save, save,…
Can Crystals really make change in your life?
Yes, indeed!
Did you know that quartz crystals have their OWN energy vibration? It’s true. You’ve heard of a quartz watch, keeping time for years without failing.
A quarts crystal and lamps as shown below all carry this higher vibration.
Just having a piece of quartz sitting on your desk, or bedside table can eliminate lower energy vibes from getting stuck and bring you down.
A quartz geode has vibration qualities…
Can you still do this? Decorate on a dime? Well, as a Home Stager and Feng Shui Consultant, I do my best to save people money. I done my share of dressing windows, trade show booths and ‘creating illusions’ with many of my vignettes, and I’ve got a few tricks to share with you.
Never underestimate the power of saving money by using what you already own. You’ve purchased these items, so you must love to have them in your…
Much of the Wealth Area focus has been indoors; regarding your desk, chair and assorted items related to monetary goals and fame. You may be failing to include a bigger picture…. your property outside. This spring may be the time to give a boost to this area – and get it working for you!
The property you live on, regardless of how big, how small, it is an extension of you and the family. The outside of your property can…
Q: Hi Kathryn, Can you tell me more about the Money frog? I heard they were lucky for wealth in feng shui so I bought one with a gold coin in his mouth. My hairdresser has one facing away from the door, and my naturopath has one on her desk facing towards the door of her office. Are these different frogs? Which way should I face the frog?
A: Good question. Yes, there is conflicting information out there! The…
Finding the right fit for a new job can have its upsets. Were you hired to ‘make change’ or hired to replace someone who has moved on? Or, both?
Setting up a new office with the proper things to support your position includes selecting a chair and desk that is right for you. Yes, it is a BIG DEAL! If you are making-do ‘for now’, you will not be able to reach your full potential!

I LOVE COLOR! Colour brings me a mood, a flavor-of-the-day, and makes me smile! I’m always on the lookout for more opportunities to share color with my readers.
I found this cute little spot in San Diego last month, a slice of Spanish Village. Someone had the idea to paint the worn out flagstone blocks with GREAT COLOR. I was able to take a few pictures before they opened for the day.
This hidden gem, inside Balboa Park, was filled…
Orchids are blooming and available everywhere right now!
Beautiful, as well as auspicious, the orchid can be used to enhance many areas in your life!
I frequently recommend an orchid ‘boost’, when I’m doing a feng shui consultation. The positive energy of this flower is very strong.
~ An orchid can be uplifting in a hard, cold office; place one on your desk.
~ An orchid can gather people together in a kitchen or dining area; place it in…
The beauty of a home with an Open Concept gives the illusion that everything in the main living area is out in the open, and the energy flows marvelously.
It is a disappointment when the rest of the house doesn’t flow the same way.
When a closet door opens and collides with the bedroom door, or the washroom door, you have irritation and a logistics problem. I know there is more going on than just the obvious.
The feng…
