An interesting dilemma: How to find the balance of how much ‘stuff’ one can handle at one time? How many hobbies can we start up at once? How many ‘collectibles’ can we display?

It's clear there's a new paradigm in business. Today's clients and customers are savvy, attuned and educated with a sensitivity (some might say allergy) to businesses that don't offer them a unique business experience. They want better service, higher-quality products and more personalization. In short, today's consumers are looking for an experience. This means businesses must sell both their tangible and intangible products and services much like Starbucks sells both drinks and its signature café environment.

Feng Shui is above just ordering furniture, it’s some sort of lifestyle. And life styles involve mindsets or concepts that will be prevalent. Feng Shui experts just say no to the things without the need of reason. Most of the things they will do include a line from reasoning that will not always be embraced by some people. Nonetheless, it is still a mind-set that among other things, require careful consideration and concept. So do you know the thoughts that will prevail in

In these challenging economic times the word “Abundance” seems obscure. Why is that? Is it because we only associate abundance with money? Webster defines “Abundance” as “fullness to overflowing, a great or plentiful amount.” So what does abundance mean to you? Once you define “Abundance” in your own terms, then the door is open to creating it in your life. How do you go about creating this?

But for so many of us, spring is allergy season, presenting a catch-22 situation of wanting to be outdoors more but suffering for it.

Besides offering a medical solution or the stand-by nasal spray, I would like to suggest a pro-active and natural way you can boost your overall health by working with your surroundings.

In feng shui you hear a lot about positive and negative chi. But…what is chi anyway? Basically, all things are comprised of chi or energy. It is the invisible life-force that is present in everything that exists in nature, connecting the yang energy of heaven with the yin energy of earth. Without it nothing would survive. Because our five senses help us interpret our environment, chi can also be described as what we see, smell, hear, taste and touch.

Holidays aren't the only time we're forced to interact with people we'd rather not, or be places we'd rather not be.

Do you face each day with a smile, enthusiasm and a plan? Or, do you plan to just cope with what comes along?

The one thing you can count on is that if you choose to cope with life as it comes along – that is exactly what will happen. You will cope, make do, survive and endure but is that all life is about – coping, surviving and enduring things that happen.

You’ve tried everything: you’ve used best practices in your business, you’ve tried to work things out at home. But no matter what you do, things either stay “stuck,” or they stay out of control.

No matter where you live, summer, patio living and relaxation all require energy that provides peace, quiet and the opportunity to rest, read a book and step out of the fast lane. Life changes for many of you when summer arrives. The children are out of school so there are fewer scheduling conflicts.
