 Feng Shui Tip

 From FSII Tip of the Month
*********************************************
The Colors of Blue, Purple and Gray Can Help You Focus on Your Personal Strengths.
*********************************************

Your self-esteem will skyrocket when you focus on your accumulated personal assets instead of your perceived faults.  Children often begin life with a natural feeling of self-worth.  It is only when parents start to impose expectations on them that they learn to measure their accomplishments by another's yardstick - and begin to come up wanting.  Naturally, very young children need to pay attention to their parents' expectations if they are to learn to navigate a complicated world.  But too many of us stop trusting our own judgment altogether and lead lives of self-doubt.  When we relearn self-reliance, we return to a focus on the moment and stop wasting time and energy weighing every little decision against the expectations and demands of others.

You can relearn self-reliance by enlisting the aid of the color blue, which allows you to turn inward and focus on the self.  Purple plays a role by helping you recognize that there is more to life than others' expectations.  Gray stands in between complete reflection of all light and total absorption of all light.  In that center, like the fulcrum on which a seesaw's plank rests, there is perfect balance.  Surrounding yourself with this balance of color gives you a physical representation of equilibrium allowing you to hear your inner voice.

Recommendations:

  • Paint the door to a room you spend time in blue, purple or gray.

  • Cover an entire desktop or work surface with gray glass or paint an existing desktop gray.

  • Hang blue, purple or gray fabric from a dowel in front of a frequently used spot.

What's New & Happenings

I was thinking July hadn't been very productive for me as one week I had the flu and then for a week and a-half I had my three grandchildren visiting. And then I stopped and reflected on all that I had accomplished, which you can read about in this weeks article.

School is starting soon in many states so I'd like to invite you to visit my site Organized For School for tips and products that can help you and your little ones become more organized. For parents and teachers. Also check out my school and children specials in this newsletter.

If you are interested in becoming a feng shui practitioner the Feng Shui Institute of America, the school I belong to, is holding a three day certification class in Ohio, Aug. 14-16. Check it out HERE

More and more I've noticed people are starting to stay home and discovering their home can be an oasis through de-cluttering, feng shui, painting and space clearing and even landscaping. If you need help with this I'm only a phone call away. I can come to you or we can work via phone/email together. Give me a call at 410-586-9440 to see how I can make your home your oasis.

Till next time: May all your weeds become flowers!

Article of the Week

Weeding Out the Weeds in Our Lives
By: Janet L. Hall

As I was weeding the pathway to my front door I started to reflect on the past months events in my life and two of my clients.

I started laughing as I realized we three had a common bond in July ... more about them in a minute.

In my working spaces I weeded out books, tapes and CD's that no longer served me. I weeded through my paper files, computer files, and emails, purging, and deleting what was no longer needed. I transferred all my pictures and videos off my main computer onto an external terabyte hard drive.

Then I started weeding out the bathroom and kitchen drawers and shelves.

With a feeling of "new ground" and more space in my office and home I looked to my yard - more spaces to weed; the pathway, the flower beds, the vegetable garden, and even some potted plants!

To me pulling weeds is uplifting, as well as calming, although I don't want to do it everyday. Pulling weeds also gives me time to think, day dream, and even plan. It's my alone time with my thoughts and nature.

Okay so back to the two clients ...

One client I'm in the process of organizing and Feng Shuing her whole house, room-by-room; weeding, purging, recycling, dumping, donating, selling and deleting.

I looked to her yard and mentioned she really needed to have her pool area and entrance way weeded and mulched so I called in my reinforcements for yard help.

Within four days her entrance way and pool area were transformed into beauty.

Inside, her home was feeling more like a home. The children were thrilled when they saw the changes we had made: a living room that was now "really" a living room. A space where they could relax together and invite their friends over for a movie or a dip in the pool.

A formal dining room turned into a gathering space where the client can now entertain and entertain she has.

She called the other day to tell me how everyone that visits loves the new look and feel of the place.

My second client, well I've been weeding out her home over the past year and a half ... two dumpsters and 669 lbs. of paper ... yes I weighed the bags of paper!

Finally finished she too was ready to tackle the outside; overgrown and neglected flower beds. Out with the weeds!

And as a bonus, she and her husband have both lost weight, just like I have!

All that weeding can change your life. All that weeding will change the energies of your spaces.

Sure it might be emotional, it might be back breaking, it surely will take some time, however when all is said and done your life will finally be weed free.

What weeds do you need to tend to?

Spikenard helps you get organized! If you need help with staying focused this is the oil for you. Historically Spikenard was highly regarded in India as a perfume, medicinal herb, and skin tonic. Prized at the time of Christ, it was used by Mary of Bethany to anoint the feet of Jesus before the Last Supper. This relaxing, soothing oil helps nourish and regenerate the skin.
