Hello Everybody! Wow! We had a fabulous morning with the Women’s Realty group last week (Thanks for the invitation, Monika!)--welcome to all of you who have joined us, we are so happy you’re here! We dove into this...“6 Feng Shui Secrets to Sell a House… FASTER and for more $$$!” and met So Many Incredible Women who are out there every day matching-making buyers and sellers to create the very best outcomes for everyone--an AMAZING group of go-getters! Jacqueline was our Door Prize Winner and Monika, the new president of the group   As you know, I’m PASSIONATE about Feng Shui which includes decluttering, editing, curating the items you have in your home. In Feng Shui, clutter blocks the flow and it is NO SMALL TASK to let go of it, or it wouldn’t be such a huge issue in our society. Life’s a blur, we are busybusybusy--very good at accumulating and not so great at letting go, am I right?  Recently, I’ve received MANY messages from you--”What do you think of Marie Kondo and her “tidying” method”? “Have you seen Marie’s new Netflix Show?” If you don’t know who I’m talking about...you can catch up HERE. I read her book, “The Magic of Tidying” when it first came out and if you’re interested in her method, the book, in my opinion, is WAY better than the show-- cuz, it feels like the show comes dangerously close to Marie just telling a family to tidy :) Here’s what I LOVE about Marie Kondo:
Fundamentally, I would say, we are in alignment... Here’s where we diverge:
Remember, EVERYTHING MATTERS! Every piece of junk mail, every sock without a match and every single rubber band you keep/own is also part of YOU in some way. If an item is in your space (OR in an off-site storage locker, you know who you are…) you are in relationship with it and are energetically tied to it. It’s time to to take control of your STUFF instead of letting your STUFF control you! If you want assistance in your own personal decluttering adventure, please send a message and we will get back to you very soon! Lots of Love, XOXO  If you have a friend who would LOVE to read this, forward here

Hello Everybody! Bob (lovely husband) and I and lots of our family traveled to Boulder this weekend for daughter, Morgan,’s baby shower! So Much Fun!!!! (Morgan’s the one without a child strapped to her :)  But, it’s a new week, so back to business! We are continuing our Feng Shui tour of Nancy and Sandy’s adorable Cape Cod home with the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FENG SHUI ENHANCEMENT we made in their home--knocking out a closet. And, you may be saying to yourself, “How can knocking out a closet make a big difference?” So, imagine the entry--walk into the front door (it swings right). The entry area is about 36” x 36”--teensytiny. As the door opens, it barely swings past the steps UP to the upper level directly in front of you and bangs into a closet door on the right. The living room is to your left. The entry feels small, cramped and the flow is restricted because the door hits the closet. Any doors that bang into each other represent “fighting energy” and can create disagreements or arguments between people who live there. It looked like this:  Sandy had said on our initial call, “And, we’re NOT going to knock down any walls…”, so, my first suggestion was to put a mirror on the closet door, always a good “aspirin” for a Feng Shui Challenge. But I quickly followed with, “If we could do anything, I would remove the closet…” Because, in this case, the “aspirin” of adding a mirror was NOT going to be enough--the real “cure” was to knock the closet out (I know, radical, especially in Wisconsin where coats are often a necessity). A good discussion ensued...
SO MUCH to consider! But everyone could FEEL the difference it would make, even before we did a thing... Once that closet was gone, we could all BREATHE! It was as if an obstruction in the windpipe of the house had been knocked out and the air could FINALLY flow! So, now, instead of going through the living room, taking the back hall to the kitchen and the dead end dining area, and then having to retrace your steps to get back out, you can complete the circle and end up at the front door again! AHHHHHHHHH! Can you feel it?  A Feng Shui Magical Moment! Here are a few more pictures of the before and after of the kitchen and dining areas: BEFORE:   AFTER:   Additional Feng Shui Upgrades to the Kitchen and Dining Areas:
(Future plans MAY include painting the kitchen cupboards--stay tuned :) The house is happy! The clients are happy! The frequency of the home is WAAAAAY higher than it was before the remodel. If you’re considering a remodel OR want a boost in the frequency of your space AND your life, please consider sending me a message, I would LOVE to chat with you! This week, put your Feng Shui goggles on, what’s one thing you could do (eliminating clutter definitely counts) to boost your chi of your kitchen or dining area?

(That makes 6, if you’re keeping track at home…) We’re the luckiest :) I’m having such FUN sharing Before and After Stories of Nancy and Sandy’s adorable Feng Shui-ed home. If you haven’t caught the last couple of weeks... Bedroom/Bathroom Combo and Living Room Love Today, I want to share what eventually became EVERYONE’S favorite room of the house--The Peacock Bathroom! The Bathroom BEFORE:  The Bathroom AFTER:   Here’s the story… This bathroom is in the Fame/Reputation area of this couple’s home. It relates to: “How The World Sees/Experiences You” So, looking at the BEFORE picture, what are you seeing? How are you feeling? If you met Nancy and Sandy, you would know right away that the “before” bathroom definitely did not match their energy! To call in the energy of Fame and Reputation and give them a BIG BOOST, I recommended the gorgeous Coral Peacock wallpaper, new tile, vanity and upgraded fixtures. {The peacock spirit animal is the epitome of beauty. This graceful power animal offers lessons about self-love, honor, integrity and the importance of facing life’s challenges as well as the unknown with courage and confidence. When the peacock struts gracefully into your life you may be entering a time of rebirth.} Nancy said something like, “No WAY in Hell!”, shook her head and walked away… It took awhile to let the idea of this particular upgrade sink in and for her to have faith in the Feng Shui! (I always say I wouldn’t be doing my job, if my clients didn’t have some sort of reaction to the s-t-r-e-t-c-h of energy.) But now, this is EVERYONE’S favorite room! A STUNNING space that stands as a symbol to the personal growth that’s taking place. Annnnnd, Sandy’s speaking gigs have taken a giant leap plus she’s moving to a new, bigger office space. Nancy’s photography skills are soon to become more than a hobby and well, water consumption is probably up, because who wouldn’t want an excuse to use the bathroom???? I can’t resist sharing the adjoining bedroom as well-- BEFORE:  AFTER:  The Feng Shui Upgrades:
This bedroom NOW is a lovely place to rejuvenate and relax--Ahhhhhhh! Cozy, soft and sooooo romantic! If you are feeling ready for an upgrade of your own, reply to this email, I would love to chat with you about your project. Lots of Love, XOXO  Hello Everybody! Wishing you all a DELIGHTFUL 2019! (That’s my ‘word’ this year...watch for it :) We are cooking up some exciting things for you in 2019--can’t wait to share... Last Saturday night we had a BIG Feng Shui Party at Amy’s beautiful, recently Feng Shuied home. To celebrate, she threw a huge bash with food, friends and music--woohoo! I was honored to give the Feng Shui tour and Amy shared all the good things happening in her life as a result of the upgrades… She’s an AMAZING person with a Zest for life, and her friends (and sister and cousin) are loads of fun, too!  Amy Me Amy's Cousin We will be highlight Amy’s home in the newsletter SOON! So, welcome(!) to those of you who are new this week, we are so happy you’re here. Today, we continue the tour of Nancy and Sandy’s Feng Shui Adventure with a peek at their Living Room...  If you missed the start of the tour last time--you can catch up HERE. When Nancy and Sandy first called for a Feng Shui Upgrade, about a year ago, their living room looked like this: BEFORE:  And, once all the Feng Shui enhancements were in place, their living room looked like this... AFTER:  Just notice--When you saw the pictures, did you have an emotional reaction, a physical reaction? Did your energy go up or down? Building this awareness will assist you in looking at your own space and help you to learn to tune the energy for yourself. The Feng Shui Challenges of this Living Room:
The Feng Shui Enhancements:
The result is a room that INVITES YOU IN! The Feng Shui also promotes connection and health and encourages you to sit awhile and enjoy--your wife, your friends, the conversation, the book, the project or petting the cat :) Already their lives are feeling better, and their newly upgraded house is supporting them--Nancy’s pursuing her photography interests, Sandy’s speaking opportunities have taken a gigantic leap and Sandy and I will be working on her new office space this year! Rumor has it that their Solstice party was OFF THE HOOK this year--Nancy posting on Instagram, The 2018 Solstice Party “was the best one yet. Our new space felt amazing!” If remodeling, redesigning or personal growth are part of your plan for 2019, reply to this email, I would LOVE to talk with you! Lots of Love, XOXO  PS: If you have a friend who would LOVE to read this, forward here
