I was not at all surprised; somehow, to hear that they had actually put Feng Shui to use in Mac Donald's in California. If you didn't catch the story, you might want to read about it here: Click here: Calif. McDonald's Tries Feng Shui Theme: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance
Slowly, VERY slowly, Feng Shui is becoming more and more popular. And I have always believed it would finally "catch on," I just hoped I wouldn't be too old when it did! Catching on so much that traditionally "mainstream" places are beginning to realize the public's interest in it-and figure they'd better get on board NOW.
Not Home Depot, however. At least not my local one on Long Island. As good as their workshops and classes may be, I hate to say that I dislike that store very much. I occasionally have to go in to pick up something for the house to TRY and fix and I've realized that you can get lost in there forever. There is no help. It's wonderful for handymen and workers but I can never find anyone around to help me try and actually find anything....I've probably left that store empty handed more times then I've actually purchased in there. I DO recall getting help once, actually; I stopped in on my way home from a consultation so I was dressed well and lo and behold, there just happened to be people in there that particular day coming over and asking me if I needed help!
It was with some trepidation that when the new Lowe's was built nearby on Long Island I had to decide whether to get all dressed up and head to Home Depot or try Lowe's in my regular "jean" attire. I decided to be brave and head out to Lowe's-in jeans; it almost felt like an experiment.
When I walked in there was something there to greet me! They directed me to the isle I was looking for and told me there would be people there who could assist me in what I was looking for---of which I had a list. I am replacing my bathroom downstairs and needed EVERYTHING. They were wonderful to me in helping choose everything I needed from a tub, sink and toilet to the tiles. Needless to say I haven't been back to Home Depot. I realized that Lowe's was about CUSTOMER SERVICE---GIVE THE CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR.
So what does this have to do with the Feng Shui of Mac Donald's? I received today a package in the mail from an online client from California that I am working with. She apparently also is a fan of Lowe's and in her package I found this from their website: Feng Shui: An Introduction and this:

Pretty interesting, isn't it? And I believe it shows the impact Feng Shui is having on people who are choosing their new designs. In my opinion they will be one step ahead-or maybe two! If you're involved with Real Estate and intend to stay in your profession, don't be a Home Depot Realtor. Become a Lowe's Real Estate Agent; your knowledge will one day be worth your investment time in learning Feng Shui.
