The Winter Message
It’s finally winter!!! Yesterday’s Solstice reminded us we are all one as we experienced the start of winter at the same instant all around the whole planet. But what if the wholeness and wonder of being one is NOT making it’s way to your home? Then try this Feng Shui advice. Instead of sharing what should be changed about a loved one, think of HOW that loved one would best receive your advice. We all know how to best reach ourselves. A song, a dance, a hug – WE are so easy to approach (HA-HA). But reaching out to Aunt Jane is not...
read moreWinter Solstice
Today is the Winter Solstice. It happens for all us — humans, animals, plants, waters, earth, and sky — at exactly the same moment when the sun rises over Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England at 8:04 am. That comforting thought gives me peace. We are all one. We experience this life in the exact same way. Regardless of how we fight, we are one. “I am.” To close the gap and sow seeds of love, we are guided in Feng Shui to give what we want most to receive. Whether that be time, love, physical gifts, mental clarity, peace for your fellow...
read moreFall is Fading, Metal is Glowing
Today is the last day of autumn. So goodbye to that Metal time of the year with the emotion of positivity and the feeling of touch representing the Metal love. We really do ‘feel’ more in the fall according to Feng Shui. It’s the golden setting sun time of the year. So shine up your metal items, finish those projects, and welcome in the starlight with the Metal Element leaving us until fall comes round again next year. Keep your Creativity high and your Helpful People strong all year with Feng Shui love and the Metal Element. Love and...
read moreGreen and Red Yin Energy
The days are getting shorter and shorter as the Winter Solstice comes closer. The 22nd will harken in the shortest day on the calendar and we’re all searching for ways to get more love and light. So let’s look to Feng Shui and the color scheme that denotes this festive time of the year: green and red. Green (Wood) represents springtime while red (Fire) represents summer. Both are good ways to welcome some balance into the most Yin time of the year. (Yin is the closing, retreating, dark, feminine energy of the Yin/Yang.) Yin energy can make...

Star Wars . . . Is . . . HERE!!!! (Well, it was in Paris last week, and I saw it Thursday night, and it opened last night so it’s been here a good while but I am still so happy!!!!). SO HAPPY!!! So what’s all that joy associated with in the galaxy of Feng Shui? Joy is your Fire Element and this Fire Element girls is SO about the joy! Fire is the summertime of the year, the heart & small intestine organs, and the sense of smell. So welcome some joy the Fire Element way; a nap in the sun or start a roaring fire, enjoy some heart and gut...
read moreElf Answering, Cookie Baking Day!
Today is a super fun day, it’s “Answer The Telephone Like Buddy The Elf Day” AND “Bake Cookies Day”. To get into the spirit, answer the phone like Buddy did with “(Insert your Name) the Elf, what’s your favorite color”. I told you it was a super fun day!! To honor the fun, let’s look at the “Fun Shui” gua that packs the fun inside and spills it over the brim. You’ve got it, it’s the Creativity & Children gua in the middle right hand side of home. Metal is the stardust element, the positive power element, the...
read moreHelpful Tips from Helpful People
Yesterday we talked about the Fall element of Metal and the Creativity & Children gua. Today we will focus on the 2nd Metal Element gua of Helpful People & Travel (front, right hand side of home). Fall’s blustery winds, intense color change, and the intensity of energy in the holiday season are reflected in this area. But are you feeling overwhelmed? No joy in running your errands? Can’t get projects completed? Not expressing yourself/communicating effectively? Then you could have too much Fire Element represented in your Metal...
read moreShiny Metal Energy
It’s not quite Winter yet, so let’s keep focusing on that lovely Fall energy associated with the Metal Element. One of the Metal areas is called Creativity & Children (middle, right hand side of home) and honors the energy of joy, creativity, fearlessness, and noise! Imagine that?!? A noisy creative space. Keep the Metal energy moving with metallic accents, round objects, and pastels. Metal is the element that connects us to the Heavens, so include those things that connect you to the divine as well. Self expression is key to having...
read moreCat Herding Feng Shui
Cat Herders Day is today and I’m sure you’re feeling like you are herding cats every, single time you go out shopping (or, if you are like me, every SINGLE time you try to get out of the driveway due to increased traffic). Well, today is YOUR day, bro! (Yes, that’s a nod to Twins going on there.) Here’s some Feng Shui kindness to help you get through the lines, attitudes, and outright rudeness that can come around this time of year. Step One: Breath. Yeah, yeah, I know; you’ve heard this one before. Well, it’s a good one, so...
read moreTurquoise Stone for December
December’s traditional birthstone is Turquoise, the stone of good fortune, success, and the bringer of prosperity. (Zircon and more recently Tanzanite are also recognized as December stones.) Turquoise has veins and nodules where copper minerals crystallize giving it a rugged depth that I am very fond of. This stone is the perfect match for December as it’s the ending of Fall (a Metal Element in Feng Shui) and starting of the Winter (a Water Element time of the year). Wearing this metallic stone close to you can bring you creativity,...
