A Feng Shui Master Comes to Our House

Well, we've been in our new home for about three weeks........ getting settled in and organized. In the process of settling in, I decided to call a feng shui consultant to come out, to not only feng shui the house and raise the existing chi, but to also bring in new chi, and to do a house clearing and blessing. Whether you believe in this practice or not, the truth is that if you aren't the first owners in a house or business, you need the energy cleared. So, that is what we decided to do.........

So, the gal came out and stayed about 2.5 hours. Now, I have a bit of knowledge about feng shui, but she didn't do the kind of consultation I was expecting - isn't that always the way......... you go in expecting something will happen the way you think it should, then bam - it doesn't. Seems life is just that way..............even though it was different in some ways than what I was expecting, it was still very interesting.......... the first thing she did was walk the entire property and look around....... we have two huge oaks in our backyard and she concluded that these trees are for Dennis...... he is to tend to them and keep care of them........ since Dennis is an Earth Rat (Chinese Astrology), tending and caring for these trees will help ground him and teach him to be a steward of the earth. We know that he already is, but how she said it was very comforting. I could see that Dennis connected with those trees right away.

Though she said lots of things and gave us suggestions for "cures", I was most impressed with the house clearing and blessing. I felt that the previous owners loved this house and the wife, especially had a hard time leaving, so we needed to clear that energy. After we cleared the space and did a blessing to bring in our new energy, I could feel an instant shift. I have a very good feeling about what Dennis and I will create in our new home.

I would recommend a house clearing/blessing for anyone. It is a good way to start fresh, no matter where you are in your life. It enables you to clear out any old, stagnet energy to make way for the new.

Blessings and love to all!

Girlfriends

Aren't girlfriends the best? I think they are..... good girlfriends are one of life's greatest gifts. Friends in general are a very blessed thing, but there's something about a great girlfriend. I feel fortunate to have lots of great friends.........some I've known a few months, others a few years, and still others - a very long time. No matter the length of time, when you find a great gal that turns into a great friend, well, there's just nothing better.

Seems like I've been hanging out a lot with my friends. Since April is my birthday month, all my friends have come out to play! We've gone to lunch, we've gotten together for walks and talks, and whatever other reason we could think of to spend time together........

In fact, today I met with a group of friends that I've known for over 10 years.......... we met many years ago in the pursuit of a great relationship -Sterling Women's Weekend, anyone? Those days seems like a million years ago, but when you meet in a time when you're searching for something, sometimes you find just the perfect fit. This group of women is my perfect fit. We are all different, but the same. When we met, we were on the path to self-actualization and spiritual awareness......... though we each have our own beliefs and journey's, it has been quite a ride! One thing is for sure......... we all love and respect each other and though we each have very busy lives, we make it a priority to get together at least 4-5 times a years to celebrate each other. We catch up on what is happening, we support each other's passions and life purposes, we eat, we laugh and we generally spend a good amount of time re-connecting and having a really good time.

So, here's to my great girlfriends. Thank you for being who you are. You make my life richer by allowing me to walk with you............ blessings and love to all of you!

Cheers!

We're Finally Here!

Well, we're finally in the new house! Yippee!! We LOVE it! We've just spent the past 10 days busting our a_ _es moving into this house and getting our other house (Audrey Way) ready for market. We accomplished both feats in record time and Audrey Way is now on the market, as of last Thursday. We are hoping for a quick, easy sale with a couple/family who love it and can't wait to move in. I'm already visualizing it sold to a happy couple!

We've officially been in the new house four days....... we've been working really hard to get everything unpacked and organized. Me, on the inside; Dennis, on the outside. I had the pleasure of unpacking ALL the boxes (think 30+) and organizing the content into their proper places. We have four good size bedrooms and all the closets have been utilized! Dennis has been getting the already beautiful backyard into a more beautiful oasis. He washed all the windows and weed-whacked the over-growth under the oaks trees. The weather has been warm the past two days so he took his first swim in the pool........ refreshing is an understatement!

So, now comes the fun of entertaining........ we can't wait to have friends and family over. We're planning a big housewarming party - probably in late June. Invitations will be sent~

In the meantime, we'll meet you by the pool - don't forget your swimsuit!
