most clutter i see in homes today is counterfeit h

most clutter i see in homes today is counterfeit happiness. the truth is not everyone hoards; not all clutter is “obvious” or easily discernible; and cost does not make something immune to becoming clutter. most things that morph into clutter come in the door with the promise of happiness. however, because of lack (time / space / energy), it eventually finds itself in a room / closet / storage without ever fulfilling that original potential.

so, what’s missing? AN HONEST CONVERSATION.

if we ever want to live with less clutter and consumption, we have to be clear about our expectations: ask yourself (both before buying something +/or during a purge) the following Qs:

does this serve an immediate purpose?

will this be used / needed consistently? (consistently can be once a year – like holiday décor – but longer than that, and dig into why you're really clinging to it.)

what kind of maintenance / energy does it require? THIS IS IMPORTANT because if you don’t have the bandwidth to take care of something, it is already clutter!

are you willing to let something else go to make room (time in your schedule / space in your house / energy for the day) for those needs?

it is by marketing design that we ignore the realities of what happens after buying / acquiring something. we are emotionally connected to the promise of a feeling or outcome, not its logistics. but when those acquisitions pile up, we observe the clutter – and those observations leave us feeling overwhelmed, tired, confused, wishing it would take care of itself.

what we are not as familiar or comfortable with is owning our contribution to it, and this is why those Qs are SO IMPORTANT. it is there that YOU HAVE THE POWER to involve yourself in the positive change you want to feel. own the role you play in the process, and your house and life will change much more effortlessly than you’d expect! xo

you heard from one half of my dynamic duo the othe

you heard from one half of my dynamic duo the other day – hello, @twinsandfilm! so, it wouldn’t be a complete review without hearing my other girlie’s take on watching my *Become Your Own Feng Shui Consultant* course not once, not twice, but three times.

my favorite takeaways from this “review”:

“this course is more information than you’ll get in a lifetime – and i would know!”

“everything is speaking to you – ENERGY. IS. COMMUNICATION.”

and…

“it is a booty-full load of fun!”

i know YOU know that energy exists all around you in your surroundings. and to be a part of the conversation, you just have to learn to speak the language. when you do, you can enhance your opportunities for success and generate more energy to accomplish your goals BIG time!

that’s where i come in.

with 2023 starting to move into view, i can’t think of a better time to start, so…

grab the link in the bio to learn more about my online course, and remember…

if you sign up before November, you’ll be invited to a live Q & A session with me to answer all your questions one on one! xo

when it comes to the bedroom, i can’t say this e

when it comes to the bedroom, i can’t say this enough: if YOU aren’t a PRIORITY in yours, you’re missing out on being ‘seen’ as a PRIORITY in other areas of your life. more specifically, it’s likely impacting your relationships in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

so, along with today’s tip, here are a few other suggestions for yours:

TIP ONE: what are the first 5 things you notice? if those don’t immediately say sleep, sex / sensuality, and stillness, it’s time to evict them. my list includes – but is not limited to – exercise equipment, unopened boxes, laundry piles, work, and other people’s stuff. if it isn’t selling you SERENITY NOW, let it live somewhere else in your house.

TIP TWO: do some quick word association. YIN is quiet. YANG is loud. YIN is settled. YANG is stimulating. too much YANG energy will disrupt how you sleep. it can intensify what you worry about at night. so, do a quick edit. look first to the TV, electronics, and your phone – these all activate the mind. cover up the TV at night – do this for at least a week, and note if your sleep changes. and if you can’t remove EMFs from the room, put them anywhere other than your bedside. the closer something is to us, the stronger its influence.

TIP THREE: what do you have hanging in your room? relationship woes – romantic or social – can often be improved when we remove any solitary or ‘solo’ imagery. if you feel creatively dried up or new opportunities aren’t presenting themselves, have you grown bored or indifferent to the imagery around you? add something new to the mix, or simply try moving a few of your pieces around. and if the art depicts frozen, lonely or barren spaces, it could suggest you feel the same way in your relationships. if you LOVE those images, mellow their influence by adding something into the mix that suggests lush, thriving, *life is happening here* energy!

when it comes to the bedroom, my suggestion: it helps BIG to LOVE what you see. waking up and drifting off under its influence absolutely persuades the energy you meet and mingle with every single day! xo

a client recently asked me to share some of my own

a client recently asked me to share some of my own Feng Shui rituals and routines, the ones I do in my home. as much as Feng Shui conjures up this peaceful, bubbling water, serene, birds chirping, light breeze making the curtains dance idea in people’s minds, if you stopped by my house at any given moment, there is usually plenty of “life” happening. we are a proper mix of creative and loud and quiet and controlling — and if you throw in the dog, it’s a grab bag any given day.

still, i have certain rituals and routines that serve my family’s and my intentions, and which are of service to our home. in today’s episode, i share nine of my rituals and habituals with the disclaimer front-and-center that i am not doing all of these things all the time. may these personal go-tos provide some insight into what we have incorporated into our relationship with our home, and spark your imagination for practices that feel right for you.

the episode link is in my bio — you can catch it on Apple, Spotify or wherever you 🎧 to your podcasts!

(a shout out to @strineem for inspiring this one!) xo
