Many of my clients call me because they find themselves at a cross road in life. Maybe they just got divorced, are a new empty-nester, or have a job change. But sometimes, they are faced with the cross road event and can’t decide which way to go. For those people, I ask them to answer the following four questions as it often helps shed some light on what path to take and waht decision to make: 1. What would happen if you did? 2. What would happen if you didn’t? 3. What wouldn’t happen if you did? 4. What wouldn’t …Read More
Improve Manifesting Odds for New Years Resolutions
Question: Do you have any tips for manifesting New Year’s Resolutions? Answer: Yes, I do! Do NOT just say it. Write it down! Make it real by dreaming about completing it and then WRITE it down on paper. My best advice is to write a story about what it’s going to be like once you have completed it. All this falls back to the book I highly recommend, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn. If you haven’t read it, I would try to make that your resolution! And if you have and you need additional resources, please …Read More
Feng Shui Tips to WANT TO Want Something Else
I have noticed a new distinction in some of my recent consultations. Clients have been requesting that they want to want something other than what they want! I have had one client who wants to want to stay in her marriage, one client who wants to want to be straight, one client who wants to want kids, and one client who wants to want to live a BIG life. Dizzying, isn’t it? Living with these push-me-pull-you feelings is exhausting. Part of them wants one thing, and for some reason or another, part of them wants the exact opposite. For this …Read More

I went to the farmers market on Wednesday, and one of the vendors gave me a little slip of paper that he called “propaganda.” Since I’ve been going to the farmers market for years, and I knew this guy could be the friendly sort, so thanked him and added the paper to my bag, and went on my way.

Mountain Energy
I just returned from Canada and had to show off one of my photos from Banff. I’m standing just behind the awesome Banff Springs Hotel here where you can just sit, relax, and enjoy the view. Check out those mountains. So stable, so alive yet still, so relaxing. When you are in such a natural place as this, it is easy to feel the relating, still, strong, and majestic energies of mountains. It is also easy to see the feng shui “form, shape, and flow” that we’re always trying to assign to our man-made environments. There’s nothing at a right angle or synthetic here, …Read More
Skills and Knowledge /Returning to College Q and A
QUESTION: Lately, I’ve been feeling like I might like to go back to college and finish my degree. But something keeps holding me back. My wife says that the answer is probably in our Skills and Knowledge corner, which happens to be the guest bathroom. What should and shouldn’t be in that area?ANSWER: First of all, let’s remember that the skills and knowledge “corner” of the home is not simply the actual place where the two walls meet, but the entire 1/9th of your home. So, if you have an actual corner that is a little creepy, or has a …Read More
