“One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making new discoveries.” — A. A. Milne, from Winnie the Pooh

Or as Calvin, of the Calvin and Hobbes comic series says, “There’s treasure EVERYWHERE!” And haven’t we all had those delightful moments when we reach into the pocket of last year’s winter coat and find a stash of money, or those long-lost earrings.

My own home is a comfy blend of tidy and disordered, so I get the best of both worlds–reassuringly Known and the strange Unknown, side by side. And residing in the mystery of the Unknown are all of the leprechauns and fairies that steal and relocate my things. Those imps, what a teasing dance they lead me in sometimes– “now, where are those car keys?….I set them RIGHT HERE last night.”

Q&A: Which Bedroom Color is Best?

Posted by Liv Kellgren on Jul 8, 2014 in Art, Feng Shui Bedroom, Q & A, Relationship Tips, Your Home | 2 comments

Q: Good morning, I’ve been reading The Western Guide to Feng Shui Room by Room. Wonderful and very interesting.  I’ve actually recommended it to about 10 friends.

The challenge I am having, choosing a paint color for my bedroom. I’m a single woman looking to attract a man and bring romance into the bedroom. I want to find a color that balances both masculine and feminine energy.   I’ve read through the list of paint colors on p.181 of the book dozens of times and brought the list to the paint store.  So far I’ve tried 30 samples and yet not have resonated.

The Poetry of Work, Rest, and Play

The Golden Triangle, part 2
By Terah Kathryn Collins, Founder and Instructor

This poetic inquiry into work, rest, and play is a heart-centered invitation for you to quietly, deeply, assess your inner and outer balance. The term ‘the Way’ refers to how you personally sustain – or regain – harmony in your life.

Your heart, the sanctuary of heaven and earth, is the home of your true self. As you open your heart, the wonder and majesty of life expands. Your spirit sheds any dark cloud of amnesia and you soar once again into the eternal expanses of your imagination. Your body awakens from the anesthesia of the past, transforming numbness into streams of pleasure. The voices of your senses become crystal clear, guiding you to further joy. Reunited once again with the full circle of life, your heart becomes the enchanted abode where heaven and earths’ beloved offspring – you – can thrive.

My mom was enjoying a romantic weekend away.
With her boyfriend.
On a motorcycle.

It did not end well.

Crisis = Danger + Opportunity
The Chinese character for Crisis is actually two characters side by side: Danger and Opportunity. Danger seems to be short-lived and easily identifiable. Danger, hot water! Danger, mind the gap! Danger, accident ahead! Meanwhile, Opportunity triggers the start of a much longer process, teeming with questions and decisions that can only unfold over time. Opportunity, go back to school! Opportunity, travel abroad! Opportunity, 6 months of rehab!

I’m really glad that Danger is over so quickly.
