I have recently started studying Feng Shui. I have read several books and instituted some of their recommendations at home. I have hung crystals in certain areas, hung wind chimes, moved my bed in a better position, and placed pottery and plants in certain areas. However, at work I have not done anything to my office. This appears to be a very challenging time for me, both personally and professionally. Nothing negative has entirely formed. I have an extremely challenging work environment. I have added plants to my office and moved my desk so that my back is not to the windows. Is there anything else I can do to direct situations and the environment in a more positive direction? Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have.

I was born in San Francisco on April 7th, 1969. Now I live in the desert in Phoenix, Arizona, and often miss the ocean and lush greenery of the Bay area. Can you recommend any particular elements or colors for my home that would be most beneficial to me?

I would like to know if you have any monthly mailings or otherwise with up-to-date info on Feng Shui?

I have several problems and thought it better to email...help! I bought this square two-story house on a lake, and everyone considers the side facing the lake as the front entrance, which is facing South. We do have a door coming in from the carport on the West that has a hall/foyer. Which door should be the entrance? Also, the drive is long and slopes to the house from the road, which is somewhat below the grade? From the South entrance (front?) that enters into the great room/dining, there is a open stairway right in front of the front door, that leads upstairs to a mezzanine (office area overlooks downstairs); and our bedroom door is in front of the top of stairs. Since moving here this past year, we have moved my mother in with us, I have quit two jobs this year because of stress, am menopausal, money is tight, and my stepdaughter has moved in to go to college here. My mother and I have always had a trying relationship -- she is elderly, always complains of not feeling good. Her room is on the ground floor, far right, and her headboard is to the East, which will be hard to change. As you can see, I am worried and need to get my house in the best possible order, and need all the help I can get.
