Dear Essential Feng Shui Family,
Happy Yang Fire Monkey New Year! Into the jungle we go, a place Karen Abler Carrasco describes as the “passionate and generous realm of heart-centered fire.” This year’s expansive energies invite us to identify heartfelt passions that are too big to accomplish alone and collaborate with others to fulfill them. Once identified, synchronicity leads the Way, guiding us to the right people and the right places at the right time.
So let’s begin!

Dear Essential Feng Shui Family,
Happy Yang Fire Monkey New Year! Into the jungle we go, a place Karen Abler Carrasco describes as the “passionate and generous realm of heart-centered fire.” This year’s expansive energies invite us to identify heartfelt passions that are too big to accomplish alone and collaborate with others to fulfill them. Once identified, synchronicity leads the Way, guiding us to the right people and the right places at the right time.
So let’s begin! Based on what fuels your happiness, choose a passion you’d like to bring to life, knowing that you may not yet know your collaborators.
For instance, I’m an avid organic gardener and digging in the dirt with like-hearted people makes me especially happy. I identified this passion and synchronicity was listening. Soon after, I attended a farm-to-table event and met a local organic farmer who was about to put 4,000 strawberry plants into the ground. I volunteered to help him and met seven members of my dirt-tribe. Lovers of the land, we each tucked hundreds of baby strawberries into the earth and completed the project in one day. Now that’s my kind of Heaven!
I know I am in synch by the deep satisfaction and joy I feel when I join forces with my new farm family, sow my happiness into the soil, have fun working hard, and help grow the food that provides Good Ch’i to my community.
What big passion is pulling you to take action? It may be related to health, politics, agriculture, environment, education, or creative expression. As your adventure unfolds, I invite you to share your photos and stories with me at help@westernschooloffengshui.com. And, in the spirit of the Yang Fire Monkey, I may just post them on the Western School of Feng Shui facebook page to delight and inspire others. Let’s step into this year’s warm expansive energies together and make great things happen!
May you feel blessed and supported every step of the Way,

Our Homes as Metaphors for Our Journeys
Reflecting on the Past Sixteen Years
Sixteen years ago, a flood of a finished basement on Valentine’s Day gave birth to my passion for feng shui. It continues to be a journey of growth and transformation for me, and a joy to share these ideas with clients, students, and people who are curious. Each home I have lived in and been invited into has served as a metaphor for our life journeys. We could celebrate the beauty in these homes while also acting upon the challenges. In many cases, as we chatted, clients also shared some of the similar challenges they were handling in their lives. By observing the ways our homes and our lives reflect each other, we could make connections between the physical spaces we occupy and our thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires.
