You Don't always have to Agree with Feng Shui.. Please understand, what you read in a book, a blog post or hear as suggestions during a Feng Shui consultation, you can question the advice and not have to always agree with it. In fact, questioning information from time to time is a good sign, for it encourages you to broaden your horizon of learning and develop your own guidance (intuition).  Even Feng Shui consultants will not always agree with each other and that is just fine, hence why there are several methods. Yet, there are some key principles we can all agree on. One, Feng Shui is utilized to help enhance the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being of all those who embrace this practice. Two, as consultants we have taken an oath to never use Feng Shui as a means of ha... 03/13/2014

What to Bring with you on your travels from a Feng Shui Perspective Obviously be sure to bring the essentials, clothing, snacks for the plane or car ride, toiletries and such. Yet what could you bring with you and keep in mind to encourage thriving Feng Shui energy when away from home? Here are some 3 simple tips to keep in mind: 1. What is the intention for your travel plans? Is to simply relax or to be adventures? Taking the time to envision your travel experience from a physical, mental, emotional and spiritually realm can be very valuable.  Have an "open mind and with an attitude of tolerance and modesty."   2. Make an honest exchange of energy with the location you visit.  For me, I prefer the more natural gifts, such a rocks or stones, perhaps hand crafted gifts sold by the locals... 03/07/2014

It Matters to be Helpful... A powerful area on the Ba-gua map for Feng Shui that many tend to overlook is called "helpful People." What does this mean? Helpful people connects you to those who step into your life to help teach you lessons and offer guidance when needed.  Let that be family, friends, "strangers-earth angels" and more.  Yet, you too can be a helpful person and one simply way is by donating items and objects that you no longer need, use or love. Another way to contribute to the flow of helpful people in others lives is by saying "thank you" and giving gratitude to those who have helped you during your life's journey.  This week, I have made it a point to reach out to past teachers from my high school who I felt truly helped ignite a certain point of awakening during that p... 03/07/2014

Many people dream of owning their own businesses, but many are under the impression that doing so is prohibitively expensive. However, there are a number of businesses you can start in your own home, and many require only small investments. Here are five businesses to consider starting.

Is Arizona's SB1062 Trying to Bring back separate but equal status? I know this is an uncomfortable topic yet it's important to bring awareness for this currently happening. The new Arizona Law if passed will impact friends and family that are in the LGBT community. As we all now, it only takes one to spark the idea and follow through before others do the same. Here is a crash course with our Nations History: Jim Crow Laws, racial segregation laws enacted between 1876 and 1965 in the United States at the state and local level. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities in Southern states of the former Confederacy, with, starting in 1890, a "separate but equal" status for African Americans. Fast forwarding to our Nations Actions in the Year 2014: "In short, Arizona... 02/26/2014

Letting Go of Self Sabotaging... "you cannot find moving ahead and moving forward by hanging on to what you used to be..." The trail left behind does not define who you are in this moment and in the future.  You learn, grow and continue forward.  Let go of the past and live in the present moment. You have a larger goal and that is great, yet keep the process of progress less stressful by taking one step at a time. Let go of the worry and anxiety, the constant "what if." Allow change to naturally unfold and just be present. 02/18/2014

New York City has taken a stand against pet abuse and I applaud them.  Hopefully this will spark others to follow suit and protect these loving animals.  Mayor Bloomberg had previously vetoed this bill and recently the City Council voted to override that decision.   Before, anyone could just walk in, prove their identity, and buy or adopt a pet, not anymore!  Now, any prospective purchaser or adoptive parent will have to be checked against the abuse registry.  This will also prevent animal hoarding as well, which is a form of abuse.  I couldn't be happier with this ruling and ask you to propose this in your area.  We can all make a difference in the lives of those that make such a difference in ours!

What is the Number 1 saying A Feng Shui Consultant is not found of? At least for me, I can say I am not found of my clients saying, "I can't." By saying that is as if they are admitting and giving in to the influence of self defeat. How can you say, "I cant" when you didn't even try.  Feng Shui does not ask much of those who implement it into their lifestyle.  Just be honest with yourself, have trust and faith in the process of manifestation and humbly try to be the best you. When you work with energy, every detail counts. Transforming the energy to be full of abundance, prosperity, success, what ever you focus on starts with the seedling of a taught, followed by your actions and seasoned with emotions and spoken words.  Instead of saying "I can't," consider saying, "Yes I can" or at le... 02/13/2014
