The Pathways of Feng Shui in Oyster Bay Long Island NY As a Feng Shui Consultant in New York, I am often faced with the different pathways in life I can choose.  We ALL make these decisions; some are difficult paths to choose but I wonder:  If we only choose the easy paths to follow, are we really challenging ourselves? There is a unique part of Long Island New York called Oyster Bay.  I am in different parts of Oyster Bay quite often, whether it's for a Feng Shui Consultation or just to enjoy the beauty of what was once known as The Gold Coast of Long Island.  On this particular day I was in the Planting Fields Arboretum and wandered down paths I wouldn't normally have followed. Today, this New York Feng Shui Consultant thought about PATHS we choose in life.  To not step out of our usu... 07/23/2009

 To keep our roses happy during the summer months, here are some things we ought to do. Mulching - Rosebeds with 2" or 3" of mulch do not need as much water as the beds without mulch.  There are all kinds of material we can use as mulch - pine bark nuggets, pine needles, hay, shredded oak leaves, seaweeds, cedar mulch or cocoa mulch.  The rose beds look much better with mulch and the mulch also helps the roses retains moisture, keep the roots cool and aid in the prevention of weeds.  I don't recommend cocoa mulch if you have a dog.  They smell great and dogs love it but it is not good for them.  One report said that a dog died because the dog ate so much cocoa mulch.  You know chocolate is bad for dogs and chocolate comes from cocoa beans.  Watering - Roses needs at least 2" of water ev... 07/20/2009

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. - Bill Cosby When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.  But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. - Mark Twain A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty. - Unknown There are three stages of a man's life.  He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus. - Unknown And this one is my favorite: My sons and his friends used to play ball in my backyard.  I got horrified when the balls hit my roses and I would come out and say, "You guys are killing my roses."  My husband would... 06/21/2009

New York Feng Shui and Eco Friendly ART   In 1996 I was deeply immersed in my Feng Shui Study Course here on Long Island New York.  In addition to the intensives on Feng Shui we were introduced to a subject called Bio-Biologie.  Long before Al Gore came out and spoke about “Going Green” we were learning about such things as ‘environmentally friendly” materials, paints and all natural rugs that don’t outgas (often times for YEARS to come), electromagnetic energy and the hazards of being exposed to it to incorporate methods for our clients to live a healthier, happier and more productive life through both Feng Shui AND bio-biologie. It is a science and study developed in Germany and brought to the United States.  I have been as careful as possible since then to buy as natural as I can….in... 06/16/2009
