All aboard!! Jamaica Station has a direct connection to Grand Central Madison which is a new terminal that is directly below the Grand Central Terminal. The escalator in Grand Central Madison is the longest in New York City! - at 182 feet, with a one-way trip on the escalator taking about 90 seconds. It's recommended if you have a scheduled meeting, it best to leave some extra time to navigate your way out of the Grand Central Madison terminal. You can also view some amazing mosaics designed by artists Yayoi Kusama and Kiki Smith.  I'll admit, I didn't have time to fully explore as I was on a timeline to meet a client for a Feng Shui Consultation. The next time I travel into Grand Central Madison, I'll be sure to set aside the proper time to view the mosaics. I think it's great that com... 04/06/2023

One of the perks when providing Feng Shui consultations throughout New York City, is I get to visit locations I may not otherwise go to on my own. After completing a Feng Shui consultation I made it a point to check out various locations that included the New York Public Library in Bryant Park (which was helpful because I needed to renew my library card) and the Helmsley Building.The New York Public Library is located at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. The origins of the library began between 1890 and 1920.  The New York Governor Samuel J. Tilden, the Astor family, and James Lennox were all to thank for their encouragement and financial contribution to establishing the New York Public Library. The library doors officially opened on May 24th, 1911. A fun observation: There are two lion sta... 04/06/2023

Last weekend I had back-to-back Feng Shui and Reiki healing sessions throughout New York City.During my lunch break, I decided to visit the historic South Street Seaport, located adjacent to the financial district in lower Manhattan. This was a wonderful visit as it was bustling with outdoor shoppers and dining, and even lounge chairs located at the end of the pier where you could just lay back to take in the views and pause for a moment. While exploring the South Steet Seaport I came across a free tour of the Wavertree 1885 ship. The tour provided some basic facts about the Wavertree ship and in all, this ship has been through a lot, shipping cargo all around the world in all kinds of weather. The fact that it's still standing is pretty impressive and the tour shared the entire ship is... 04/30/2022

The dining room in Feng Shui takes on the energy of social gatherings, connecting with family, friends, and your community. Over the years, Americans have drastically reduced the use of formal dining rooms, except for the occasional holiday or birthday celebration. But since the Covid-19 pandemic has emerged, the return of using the dining room has increased, more so as an extra in-home office but hopefully to also be utilized once again for family and social gatherings. HOW CAN I ACCOMMODATE THE DINING ROOM TABLE FOR WORK AND LIFE USAGE?  The best recommendation is to make the transformation of the dining room into an in-home office space easy. This means beginning to inventory and/or looking for dining room furniture that provides storage options, so when work is done, you can easily ... 04/29/2022

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and the celebrations will be subdued if at all.  During my career as head of HR for Brunschwig & Fils in New York I remember the celebrations fondly.Our law firm and accounting firm had partners who were members of the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of New York.  Each year we were invited to the St. Patrick's Day gala Dinner, a packed house at The New York Sheridan.  They had a hospitality suite before the dinner and would have the New York Governor, New York City Mayor, US Senators, and other politicians.  We would shake hands with all of them.The dinner speakers were special too.  I remember Tim Russert gave a remarkable speech.  Then in 2003, Tom Brokow was scheduled.  He was delayed in the Studio covering President Bush announcing the war i... 03/16/2021

 Kitchen cabinets are sometimes custom-built. When they start to show wear-and-tear, replacing them can be costly. Stock cabinets cost less, but the idea of cabinet replacement can be daunting. Refacing kitchen cabinets costs about half of what replacement costs. Do-it-yourselfers who desire to save money, have necessary carpentry skills, and some workshop space can do the cabinet refacing independently. The refacing of Euro-style cabinets involves covering the drawer and door faces and sides of the cabinets with wood or plastic veneer. Drawer and door fronts can also be repaired with rigid thermofoil (RTF).The refacing process of traditional frame-and-panel doors typically involves covering the cabinets' sides and frames with a veneer and replacing the drawer and door fronts with mater... 03/01/2021

This is a great question! So, let’s dig a little deeper into the symbolic representation of what water element and drain pipes represent according to modern day Feng Shui principles.  Water element is linked to emotions and the subconscious mind, When water element is present in the ideal locations (north: career, east: family, southeast: wealth) inside a home and along the land, there is a sense of controlled movement that flows with ease and serenity as you navigate life.  In Feng Shui drain pipes relate to wealth and health (blood flow and the intestines, which also relates to the immune system). In regard to the reference of wealth, some may say leaky pipes is draining away your finances. Or, a clogged drain pipe could be backing up your finances, such as with not receiving payments... 09/15/2020
