You are not going to believe this! It may take you a couple of minutes to read but it is really worth it...let me know what you think. You have been on this journey with me since the beginning.
Let me start from the beginning. I started a FS journal about the The Love Stones, had a good laugh and decided to keep exploring with the Tale of Two Hearts. Then Carole Provenzale, our true resident Feng Shui Consultant of Long Island New York took pity on me and came to my rescue before I could do any real harm. She wanted to help me and the professional that she is, she asked that I send her pictures of my property, inside and out so I did.
Carole wanted me to do some things immediately before we address the interior of my house. Specifically she wanted me to unlock the gate that opens to the front sidewalk leading to the front door. I explained to her that no one uses that walkway or gate or the front door. She did not care. Since this area is the mouth of all good Chi coming into my home, I must do what she told me to do. She also told me to plant a tree in my wealth area with red bark, bells on my front door (which again is never opened) and then bless my property per her specific instructions, tying all the buildings together which I did as documented in this post.
Now remember; the Blessings for my property took place on Tuesday, July 17th.
Wednesday, the 18th, I stumbled upon a clothing line to die for while assisting family with their shopping. OK, no bigs there because the outfit that I loved was sold out in my size. I won't go into all the details here but the sales clerk found my size in San Luis Obispo and it is on it's way to me as I write this post. Later that day I took my keys and tried to open the little gate in the front. They did not fit so I called and asked Gene (my significant other) if he would unlock the little gate when he gets home and he did.
Thursday the 19th, I opened my front door, unlocked the screen door and admired the little gate that has been freed. Fresh air (with a little dirt) was blowing in and I thought to myself "this feels so much better!" and went about my business. Went back to the department store that carries my new favorite clothing line (Eileen Fisher for you gals) and bought everything that fit me. I do not yet know what I need all these outfits for but I am trusting that I will soon as a result of the unlocked gate, the blessing, and my cute little money tree.
Friday the 20th
It is a normal day with me at the computer. For a year now, my customers have not been able to download their home staging instructions from my website after they make their purchase (as many can attest to here in AR) because the techs say they cannot fix the problem...so I have to keep checking all day long every day. When someone makes a purchase, I send them the links directly, usually after a time lapse and an email from them stating they did not get their links. My technicians told me a couple of months ago that I would have to move my site to another host and they would be happy to help me do this. I do not want to move because I cannot take my logo and template with me...basically starting all over and changing the whole format. So I resigned to accepting the fact that this is the way it is going to be...checking all day long and apologizing with every new client.
I know, shocking as it may seem to you, my life is not all glam...
Don't change the channel! It has taken all this to get to the point I am trying to make...
The following is exactly what happened Friday. (Remember the gate was unlocked Wednesday night.) I receive this email:
Let me remind you that this journey all started as a fun way to explore the techniques of Feng Shui that was available to me and see if I could make sense of it and use it to my advantage all the while incorporating Feng Shui into my decorating without my home looking like a Chinese Restaurant.
And now? There was no way of knowing what was to come. Thank you Carole! I am about finished with the MONEY TREE...Whoa baby, we are just getting warmed up!
So, do you read the events the same way I do or do you think it is a coingkydinky.
Namaste
Hi Deborah - it's a new day and I am watching and listening very closely too. Thank you.
Margaret - I like that...wind and energy at my side...I wish you great Chi flow.
Sylvia - I have just become a believer and I have a real interest in westernizing the FS objects.
Carole - being a FS consultant must be like a Mom telling the kids to clean their rooms. But you're a good Mom!
I am really trying to incorporate everything about the power of attraction into my life, but know nothing about Feng Shui. I need to try and understand this -- old dog new tricks . . .
Thx for taking the time to write the story!
Sheron,
I'm a little late to the 'party', but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that through Carole's guidance and the use of Feng Shui you have been fixing the 'stuck' areas of your life little by little.
Me next, me next! I think that I need to speak to my 'bud' here and take care of a few little problems of my own! And I promise to blog about it!
VAL
Val - you're never late to the party...the party started too early! I still have to smudge today and I am scared. :(
word: ichang
Don't worry Sheron - I watched Carole do it once and then did it to my own home...I didn't, however, know that there was a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion that I had to use!
It's fun and you won't set your house on fire! Make sure you keep it swirling and get in the corners where the real stale energy is!
VAL
Gotcha! Like the birdseed, I am going to do it in a hurry not knowing how long it will last. I am going to go both ways. I am only smudging the studio right now...it would take a bonfire to do it all...
Graphic is dangleberry. Isn't that name calling?
OK, upon great demand, here is a picture of my little money tree before embellishments...don't laugh...that is a very powerful evergreen!
