Here in Lexington we have a Starbucks where the management has thoughtfully planted Blackeyed Susans for those of us who use the drive-thru. I don’t know if they realized that their flowers would be only part of the show for us. If I hadn’t looked down at the beautiful flowers at the drive-thru…If the flowers hadn’t been...
Well, now I’ve done it. Finally I convinced my husband that we needed some chickens. I’ve always loved watching chickens scratch in the dirt. They make me think of growing up on the farm. I took so much for granted back then. So, now we have eight little pullets. Or seven pullets and a rooster…it’s a little...
Last weekend I attended a party. This was probably the first party I’ve shown up for in at least 10 years. I’m known as a dud. An international party pooper. But, last weekend, not far from the old high school, I finally enjoyed a party. Our class of ’73 had an “unofficial” reunion, a “double...
Many of my Feng Shui clients are in distress. I get called when they figure out that their house could be the source of their troubles. So, one of the most important things I can do as a Feng Shui Master is to help people find out if the house really is causing problems. This can...

There is a tradition among many native Americans that everyone has a power animal, or totem. These animals are there to guide us and warn us of problems in the road ahead. I always wondered what mine was, if indeed I had been assigned one by the powers that be. So, not terribly long ago...
Feng Shui This – Ethics First, let me make clear that this post is about an IMAGINARY house. No homes have been hurt in the building of this story…and no clients past or current have been represented. What does Feng Shui have to do with ethics? In my Feng Shui...
Maybe you do need a Feng Shui Master! Are you having trouble sleeping? Are folks fussing and fighting at your house? Buying a book to learn a little Feng Shui is a good idea, but be careful of which books you invest in. Some are merely fluff, written to make money for the author, with little...
A couple of Days ago, Dan and I went for a drive in the countryside. I wanted to introduce him to a special fellow I had met last fall. I always feel better after chatting a bit with Duncan. This visit though, Duncan seemed a bit miffed. It was as though he was scolding me...
