Gratitude Fuels Holiday Joy

What is your gratitude quotient? Are you half full, half empty, running on fumes or overflowing with joy? Gratitude simply means acknowledging or giving thanks for something or someone good in your life. Some days that may mean you are grateful that you are feeling well enough to get up in the morning and find a refrigerator full of food. Other times it may mean you had a perfect day at work or you just won the lottery. When you regularly express thankfulness or appreciation

What’s Keeping You Down

A lot is written at this time of the year reminding you to be grateful for what you have and thanking God or your Creator for your blessings. Yes, it is good and important to be grateful and set aside one day per year to express that gratefulness but what about the rest of the year? Most people miss the vast difference between being grateful and living a life in gratitude. The definition of grateful is having or showing the desire or reason to thank somebody for something. Fo

The Secrets of Feng Shui

Is there a Feng Shui, Chocolate Killer Cake, and Hot Red Sports Car Connection? Does it feel like you are out of sync with the world or the world is out of sync with you? Are you beginning to question whether tomorrow will ever be better? Do questions like this haunt you every time another negative event happens in your life or you have the same negative issue crop up to face for the fourth time in a row?

How does energy feel

Some people say “what do you mean, how does it feel?” Others question “just what is energy and how do you even know it is there.” If you can’t taste it, touch it, smell it or see it, just how do you know energy is there? It is there because you get an uncomfortable or happy sense in the pit of your stomach, or the hair on the back of your neck prickles or you simply can sense something. You just know things aren’t quite right. Or, you know something really great is going to h

How do you know what to do?

Customers will often tell me “my house is a disaster zone; I don’t know what to do or where to begin”. Or, “I have so much “stuff” I can’t squeeze one more thing into my closets and drawers”. Others say, “I haven’t found the top of my desk in so long that I don’t remember what it looks like”. Have you ever felt like that? Are there certain areas of your house or office that just seem to collect “stuff”? I mean stacks of “stuff” that just seem to accumulate out of thin air and

A Gratitude Journal Creates Positive Energy

Have you ever had one of those days when just nothing seems to go right? Maybe you get an email from someone and take it completely the wrong way. Or, you’re driving down the street minding your own business and someone cuts you off. They seem to be angry with you for just being on the same road at the same time. Even worse, everything you touch, whether it’s a potentially great business deal or a relationship at home, is falling apart right before your very eyes. We all have

7 Ways to keep the Warmth of Christmas All Year

Do the songs “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” or “The Christmas Song” with chestnuts roasting by the fire best describe your typical Christmas Day. Or, does your Christmas seem more like “The Nightmare of Christmas” with the Grinch taking away all of the joy? Whether you celebrate a traditional Christmas, Hanukkah, the arrival of the New Year or all three doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you have a joy filled celebration creating fond

A Grateful Thanksgiving is Great Feng Shui Energy

Thanksgiving is the one holiday per year that seems to be the least commercialized and the most heartfelt. It is the holiday where the focus is on family, friends, food and being grateful for what you have. The hustle and bustle of this holiday has a lot less to do with commercialized gift giving and shopping till you drop but rather recognizing and honoring the joy of being together, sharing good food, good company, good times and expressing gratefulness for all of the above

Gratitude provides great energy to begin the holiday season

The old saying “Gratitude provides great attitude” should be your daily golden rule for living. Anytime you are in the “gratitude mode” your cup is always half full instead of half empty. Sometimes, if you are in a constant state of gratitude, your cup is running over the brim, not just half full. Gratitude for even the smallest of things in your life sets a positive mood for your entire day. In our country we have set aside one specific day per year for the purpose of giving

Do you feel prosperous

Have you ever felt, “if I only had just a few more dollars I’d be happier’? Or, “I wish I could stretch my income further so I wouldn’t feel so broke at the end of each month”. Even people who appear to have ample money sometimes wish they had an abundance of it so they can contribute to some of the much sought after funding for people in need. Somehow, no matter whom you are or how prosperous you are, there is always room for more income and cash flow. Does Feng Shui play a

Most people assume you are either born lucky or you must go through life doomed and have to fight for everything you need and want. Some people do indeed seem to be luckier than others … or are they?

Reap huge benefits from eliminating clutter

In our society, people tend to collect “stuff”. Stuff comes in the form of collectibles, antiques, hundred and hundreds of pictures of family and places you’ve traveled. It can also come in the form of stacks of magazines, piles of papers and lots of those “things we just must have”. You know the kind, a box you keep your remote controls in, all of your remote controls from your last three televisions and two sound systems because you are afraid you will throw the wrong one a

5 Steps to Help Things go “Your Way”

What should you do when nothing seems to be going your way? How can you get past those endless times of nagging doubt that just keep lingering in the back of your mind? Where do you turn when you run into a “brick wall?” These are all questions I’ve faced and get asked often when speaking to groups or consulting with clients. Just what do you do? Do you need to turn around and go back? Do you try something new? Do you begin again? Do you pray about it? Do you want to give up?

Opportunity and Prosperity can be Yours

Are prosperity and peace of mind at the top of your wish list but the bottom of your action plan? Is prosperity an elusive ideal way of life? Is peace of mind a dream you feel can never be your reality? Is opportunity knocking on your front door but never enters? More often than not, prosperity and peace of mind are considered to be elusive by most people; and opportunity never knocks. In fact, many do not even know how to define them. Does prosperity mean having a home, a de

Thanks Giving Overcomes Doom and Gloom

With the right kind of attitude, anyone can overcome worry and stress, even during the chaos of the holiday season. If you are feeling blue this holiday season, it’s easy to see why – tune into any news station, or read any newspaper or internet outlet and nearly every story seems like more bad news. Even with the holidays around the corner, it’s easier to feel worry, stress and anxiety rather than hope, peace and joy. The Thanksgiving holiday season is the perfect time to es
