are you making *best guess* changes?
when we moved into the home I am sitting in as I write this letter to you, I did not LOVE it.
everything about it felt wrong.
I would drive to the other side of town to hang out at my parents’ house all day because nothing about our home inspired me – and I hated being here.
after a few weeks of loitering, my mom finally nudged me – you’ve got to go home and start unpacking, Amanda.
yet, even as I did, I couldn’t find a groove because our house did not feel like home – and it was taking a toll on everything important to me.
what I wouldn’t figure out for a few more years was what I needed to learn was right there in front of me.
and I know if I hadn’t discovered Feng Shui, I would’ve missed all the lessons that guided me here today.
we bought this house on a quick weekend trip. my husband’s job was relocating us, so we were on an expedited timeframe to find a home – and we happened to drive past this house on our way to the airport. after seeing it in under 20 minutes, we made an offer before leaving town, and the house was ours.
so, we hadn’t spent any time getting to know it – and while the house satisfied the “here’s what we’d like” checklist we’d given the realtor, something was definitely “off” when we moved in.
I can still feel that grip of frustration and desperation when I think about it now, remembering I assumed that “off” feeling was all me.
having learned Feng Shui and knowing how to have a conversation with a home now, I often wonder how many other people experience(d) this, too where they’re…
trying so hard to make a change…
listening, learning, looking for ways to manifest something new in their life…
giving it everything they’ve got to maintain motivation…
only to feel like nothing sticks.
the thing is – you could be doing everything “right” and the “main” culprit could be your home.
I didn’t realize how much of our house was responsible for what I was feeling and we were experiencing – until I did. and once I understood how the energy was transacting, I had the ability to manipulate it in our favor.
once I understood our Wealth area had several “energetic” leaks, we fixed those. yes, that helped with a few money concerns, but more importantly, I had the confidence to start investing in myself in BOLD ways.
once I realized the stairs in the center of our home would create a sense of “ups” and “downs” in our lives – I got busy grounding them and myself to better manage that turbulence.
once I discovered that our lot wasn’t square shaped, and in fact, where it narrowed affected our ability to hold onto resources, I “remedied” it and we immediately noticed a balancing out in our finances.
honestly, my list of a-has is long, and it’s why I say YES to most workshops and podcast interview invitations; it’s why I started my own podcast and send out weekly newsletters; and it’s the reason I show up on the socials as much as I can.
I want you to know your house can help or hinder you – because if you know that, you have the ability to co-create change whenever you fancy.
this is also why I created my course. I intend for everyone who enrolls in it to understand the “parts” of their home (and how they work) so they can make intelligent and intentional changes, according to what they need most.
because the truth is…
until I had a firm foundation of Feng Shui, I was just making best guess changes.
once I connected all the shui dots, though, my ability to influence change – with the cooperation of our house – became a success in progress.
so, listen, if you’ve been working on YOU – and you feel like you’re still reaching…
if you have a sense your house needs a little (or a lot) of fine tuning, but you have no idea where to start…
if you’ve been dabbling in shui for a while, but you’re not seeing results…
I am teaching my BYOFSC course modules live – and we begin April 23rd. once a week for six weeks, it’s YOU, me and glorious gathering of shui sweeties talking shui. teaching is what I do best, so you can expect to jump off Zoom and into action each week because the motivation and momentum is REAL when shui makes sense.
you don’t have to attend live to participate. all the live session replays will be uploaded in the course, and you will have access to them until June 30th. and if you have Qs and can’t attend live, I will share how you can get yours answered once you’re in the course!
learning how to interpret our home so I could manage its challenges and enhance its strengths literally changed my life, so if there is even a tickle of curiosity…
come spend 2 hours with me every week – and I promise you will be SO grateful you did. xo
