A New York Feng Shui Consultant Makes Newsday
Or I should say WILL make the paper. Feng Shui Long Island & New York City had an interview the other evening with Newsday, our Long Island paper. Whew...I wasn't sure if I would ever make it! Although I've had mentions in several papers including the New York Times (who contacted me from a COMMENT I'd made on someone's post right here on Activerain), this time it won't be just a mention.
Newsday is a wonderful newspaper to get in and it's been on Long Island forever....well, a very long time. I had been fortunate enough to have a good friend that works there and he was kind enough to give me a personal tour of the place and it's history and origins, It was fascinating, so much so that when my daughter Laura came home from college I asked if she could get a tour as well.
It is fascinating being "inside" the paper. Parts of the "old" Newsday have been preserved while still moving forward as technology evolved. I wrote a post about it a log time ago and it shows some wonderful pictures: An inside look at NEWSDAY, Long Island's Newspaper since 1940
Newsday runs an article every Friday on Makeovers. Many are DIY but this time they wanted a Feng Shui Makeover. I have done many in New York City recently but not many on Long Island. Although I have given many, many Feng Shui Consultations here on Long Island recently, most did not require what I would consider a "makeover." Several clients declined that was a true makeovers (for privacy reasons) and I had another client I had done just one month ago.
In that time, however, she's taken a trip AND had a prescheduled surgery. We only made over one room and she didn't want to have to purchase anything-using only the items that she had. She agreed to do the interview and I was thrilled. It is just one room and I sure with I could post the pictures now but can't. The article will come out in August and I'm thrilled...more for the fact that my daughter, Laura Cerrano-Feng Shui Consultant had done the redesign with me and will be in the paper as well.
What do they say about hard work....and persistence? I have always believed when you follow your heart, nothing but good things will come back to you if you truly have the determination to stick it out. "Don't Quit": One of my favorite poems that I found just at a time that I needed it : )
As if that wasn't good enough news to share, here's the best: I just got a call from my client, she landed the job that she wanted. Five minutes from her house and making more money then she ever expected. Even BETTER? I was the FIRST call on her list. I love this "job" of Feng Shui!
