feng shui manhattan: What Memories are YOU Going to LIVE ON? - 12/16/08 01:59 PM
 What Memories are YOU Going to Live On?
A New York Feng Shui Consultant's MEMORIES.
I call them "Pearls of Wisdom."  Those words someone will say to you that have a profound impact on you; you never forget them.
Many years ago a very special Aunt told me something very simple and very true:
"Be careful of the memories you make" she said, "That is what you live off in the future." 
I read so many posts here on Activerain and am also surrounded by all the doom and gloom in the news.  Many here try to stay upbeat but … (19 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui New York and A Deja Vu Moment - 11/30/08 05:32 AM
The Déjà Vu Moment in Time
What a STRANGE phenomena this is!  If you've ever had Déjà vu, you'll know exactly what I am speaking of.  If you haven't, I hope that you get at least ONE in your life.
 What is it and where does it come from?  Wikipedia describes it as     surreal-and it IS.  Déjà vu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although they are rare for me, I've had more then a few.  They come on without notice and you've stepped back a moment in time it seems.  Mine are almost scripted:  I will suddenly know what someone is … (35 comments)

feng shui manhattan: I Don't Want Another "SATISFIED" Client - 11/29/08 05:59 AM
I DON'T want another "Satisfied" Feng Shui Client in Huntington Long Island.
We are always happy leaving a job where we've done a good job-another satisfied client we think.
I had a WOW moment the other day from customer service I received.  And it made me think that I don't want a satisfied client-or even a happy one.  I want one that I've WOWED.

We ALL believe we take the very best care of our clients at all times.  We all believe we go way above average in our approach to the way we deal with them. We are there … (44 comments)

feng shui manhattan: A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultants Wishes: - 11/26/08 02:51 PM
I am a firm believer in Counting your Blessings.  As difficult as things might be for some of you right now, look upward.  And say a prayer or a gratitude of blessings for all the truly wonderful things you have in your life RIGHT NOW. 
Someone always has things worse.  When we count our blessings, they mulitply.  It's not only the Law of Attraction and a Feng Shui belief, it also helps us maintain our focus on all the GOOD we have in our lives.
Tomorrow many of you will be truly Thankful.  It's a day to give Gratitude.  Wake up with … (30 comments)

feng shui manhattan: A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant's Advice - 11/22/08 11:52 AM
  A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant's Advice..... 
Although I practice Feng Shui in New York City and Long Island, I get questions from all over the United States.  I do many Feng Shui Consultations at a distance and have heard that some Feng Shui Consultants do not answer questions due to a shortage of time.  
I love to hear the interest in Feng Shui.  I also receive questions from believers and skeptics alike.
A recent question about purchasing a new home from a buyer made me pause.  Her question was whether I believed she and her husband should purchase this home-from a … (21 comments)

feng shui manhattan: A New York Feng Shui Consultant--And some FAME - 10/24/08 04:21 PM
A New York Feng Shui Consultant-And Some FAME  
A huge principle in Feng Shui is simply "Get your NAME out to the Universe."  Something we do all the time now on websites, blogs, and the business cards and market materials we give out.
We also address the area of FAME which is also our REPUTATION at home and our offices.  We can do it with the INTENTION of getting our name "out there" and it's an important area to address.
The area of Fame means:  How you are known to the world and how you would LIKE to be KNOWN.   The color … (36 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui in The US--A Feng Shui Consultant in Manhattan - 10/17/08 04:12 PM
Feng Shui Facts:  Stopping a Consultation is NOT a Good Idea!
Whether I'm in Manhattan having a Feng Shui Consultation on site or doing a distance one over the phone, we come across all different kinds of people.  We have the ones who are my favorite-ready for inspiration, light and CHANGE to come into their lives and they look forward to making the changes. 
We also have Feng Shui Clients who don't realize that the changes that will occur with Feng Shui will be different for EVERYONE.  No two people are alike, no two homes are alike....changes can happen like a … (21 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui New York--The BEDROOM - 10/16/08 12:22 PM
Feng Shui in New York- BEDROOMS and Interior Design
As a Feng Shui practitioner in Manhattan and Long Island, I love seeing the different spaces in both apartments and homes.  It's interesting that many of the Principles of Feng Shui do NOT go along with the principles of Interior Design and it's also interesting to me that more Interior Designers, Decorators and Home Stagers are more interested In Feng Shui then ever before. The differences we share are often in BEDROOMS.
This room in Smithtown  Long Island in New York was in a spacious, three bedroom home.  It was furnished by an Interior Design student … (18 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Manhattan's Central Park--And a Question - 10/08/08 04:38 PM
Central Park AGAIN?  Well, yes and no.  I was in Central Park in Manhattan not long ago when they were celebrating their 150th anniversary!  A beautiful day (and a post to follow) but there is just ONE shot I wanted to show you:

I loved the huge balloon and many other things scattered throughout the Park to commemorate this occasion.  And was struck by this fountain as well....I later found out it is the oldest fountain in Central Park.  I thought it was beautiful and that I must have passed it before---It looks so familiar.
There are so MANY fountains … (30 comments)

feng shui manhattan: The San Gennaro Feast--Manhattan's Finest - 10/04/08 11:16 AM
New York City-Manhattan---A Feng Shui Consultant's Day....
The San Gennaro Feast in Manhattan is something I NEVER miss.  I know some people LOVE New York City....and others are not so fond of it!  The San Gennaro Feast runs every year and is the oldest, largest and best known Italian Feast.  St. San Gennaro is the patron Saint of Naples and people come from all over the world each year to attend this festival.  Feast of San Gennaro
1.5 million attended this year.  Laura Cerrano and I accounted for two of those : )  If you can't stand crowds, noise or unpredictable … (31 comments)

feng shui manhattan: One of the Saddest Days of the Year in Manhattan & Around the World by Feng Shui Long Island - 09/10/08 02:29 PM
This is the one day out of the entire year that is the most difficult for me.  Living in New York and loving New York City I am, as SO many others still devastated by the losses of 9/11/2001.  Loss of life, of course--many, many wonderful lives and a feeling of loss of Freedom.  Since that day when traveling to New York City for a Feng Shui Consultation you can see all the uniforms at Penn Station which is somehow a sight I never get used to.
There are cutbacks now as well on our Security but I have always wondered … (17 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui COLORS from a New York Feng Shui Consultant's Perspective - 08/16/08 01:59 PM
As a Feng Shui New York based Consultant, I get calls and emails all the time for questions people aren't sure about when making changes for Feng Shui in their own homes.  It is sometimes difficult to get through all the emails though I try but last week I received TWO about the same thing for people ready to paint and found they both had misconceptions about Feng Shui and Color.  One potential client called from Oyster Bay Long Island to get my opinion just before running out to choose paint colors, afraid they would make a mistake.
As some of … (23 comments)

feng shui manhattan: What Can a New York Feng Shui Consultant Learn about Life? - 08/13/08 01:42 PM
New York City ALWAYS amazes me!  Manhattan has it's own special charm and appeal and you can meet some pretty wonderful people.  I certainly of met my share but I'm not sure if I've met any as wise as this New York City cab driver,  What a New York Consultant can learn about Life.  Wise Words for all to read.  Thank goodness for our special Manhattan cab drivers : )
I came across this message sent to me in an email.  Rarely if ever does anything strike me as being so true and I LOVED this inspirational story.  I went to … (13 comments)

feng shui manhattan: The Energy of Homes from a Feng Shui Perspective by Feng Shui Long Island & Manhattan - 07/17/08 03:37 PM
The Energy of Homes from a Feng Shui Perspective
Last night I wrote about the sometimes imperceptible energy that children feel in a home.  Often times as adults we don't get the same feelings.  Feng Shui & Children: A New York Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts by Feng Shui Long Island & NYC  It reminded me of a recent trip we were taking to go to one of our favorite old time Restaurants on Long Island located in Westbury, New York.  It's a very special place and is only open during specific hours. 
Parking for this small place is difficult so we … (18 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui & Children: A New York Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts by Feng Shui Long Island & NYC - 07/16/08 03:54 PM
Feng Shui and Children: A New York Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts
For many years I have noticed the sensitivity of children in all things related to Feng Shui.  They are particularly aware of their surroundings and instinctively know what colors soothe them.  For years I have advised my Feng Shui Clients on Long Island and in Manhattan to allow children to choose their own paint colors (within reason, of course) and to give them a hand in decorating...with a Feng Shui point of view in mind.
Children are extremely sensitive and often can see, hear and mostly FEEL things that we … (19 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui in New York Baseball? by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 07/08/08 04:58 AM
Feng Shui in New York Baseball?  You better Believe it!
As a Feng Shui Consultant in New York City and Long Island, it was interesting for me to read that a reporter with an interest in Feng Shui had called a Consultant to both Shea and Yankee Stadiums, both being torn down this year to have new ones built, to evaluate them.  I will be posting her thoughts on her site visits to the new stadiums being built soon to see what her choice is for the "winners" of New York.
Personally, I am going to miss the "old" Shea Stadium.  … (18 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Long Island, New York....It's Beauty and it's Woes by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 07/06/08 02:00 PM
As a Feng Shui Consultant who works with Realtors on both Long Island and New York City, I try not to miss much of what is going in our economy or the housing market here.  I have seen signs going up that I don't ever recall seeing before; signs for auctions and many signs on homes that say "Bank Owned."

Hamptons, Long Island, New York
 
On Right:  Wantagh State Park--Wantagh is called The Gateway to Jones Beach

Even in Wantagh, the beautiful neighborhood I grew up in, these signs ore increasing and it saddens me, of course.  Some … (23 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Are YOU Losing MONEY Because You Don't Know Your JOB? Feng Shui in Long Island. - 07/05/08 02:41 PM
As a full time Feng Shui Consultant who is all over New York City and Long Island, a homeowner and part time helper to my mom, I lead a busy life.  With the move I am making, it has become even busier. Not yet being able to refinish the basement (which has been going on for a year but NOT a sign of any water leaks) I decided to put the money (originally slated for a brand new car) into the upstairs of my home-the part I actually spend 90% of my time in.
After my misadventures last year of calling … (19 comments)

feng shui manhattan: Feng Shui in New York--Show me the MONEY! by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 07/02/08 02:48 PM
Feng Shui in New York---Wealth, Where IS it?
At a recent Feng Shui Consultation on lovely Long Island, New York, I found my clients about to do some work on their backyard.  They stopped in the middle to wait for a Feng Shui Consultant to advise them on the best placements of things for their yard, realizing that in Feng Shui we not only address the inside of a home or business, but the outside as well.
The "WEALTH" area in Feng Shui using the Bagua Method would be your back left hand corner if you are standing in front of your front door.  … (37 comments)
