Welcome In!

 The front door welcomes guests and opportunities, while other entrences favor less direct access - it's ideal when all are clearly marked, and in good repair!

In Feng Shui, the front door and kitchen are two key areas - the Mouth of Chi, and the Heart of the Home. 
One of the simplest things we can do to welcome good fortune is to periodically spend a few minutes on these entrances - sweep the path and mat, wash the door. 

  • Stand on your front walk, and look at your porch and entrance
  • Is the path safe and clear?  (Opportunities flow)
  • Is your address/ the house name visible (can fortune find you?)
  • Greenery - are trees, shrubs and potted plants Overgrown or in poor shape? (too full already/ poor health)
  • Is there clutter or trash?
  • Is the porchlight bright?
  • Does the door need a wash? 
  • Are the mat and entrance swept?

This is a good time to note anything which needs repaired, trimmed back, cleared or replaced. 
Spending just 10-15 minutes monthly can make a large difference!
I love the tips from Feng Shui practioner Amanda Gibby Peters.  One is to take three pinches of cinnamon on your palm, step outside and blow them onto the clean door.

Does your front door welcome you in?

A Pinch of Salt

   In the fall of 2022 , I was sorting and paring down as I prepared to move across town to my daughter's, while Rose Cottage was built.  My daughter and son-in law helped a lot, but I still needed to make many tough decisions about what to keep and what to pass on! And I struggle with executive function - so it was challenging! Percy choose his basket  for the move Enter - Salt ! Between rounds of dethugging I found putting out little bowls of Salt ever so helpful! It does its work behind the scenes, whilst we're sleeping! My Feng Shui consultant and friend  Gwynne Warner  suggests sprinkling salt in the corners of rooms (where energy accumulates and can get 'stuck') , then sweeping it up the next day. Another tip was to leave a crystal on a box or space you plan to sort overnight, and invite it to help you gain clarity on distributing the contents.    Atelier - packing up Simple Shui consultant Amanda Gibby Peters feels Salt is,  "an ever...

Be the Reason

  Today my friends Donna and Marvin invited me to join then on an road trip adventure, and we headed North to Hood River and the Harvest Fest! An Abundance of Produce It was a blustery, rainy day, but Multnomah falls was beautiful as always, and the weather cleared 'just in time' when we arrived in Hood River and the fest!  Rainy day - Columbia River  We had fun wandering, chatting, eating (I had a gluten free enchilada and corn on the cob, Donna had a braut with saurkraut and potato salad) and visiting.  There were many great vendors, and delightful mini conversations!  Business Card blessing And - so many smiles were exchanged!  They cost nothing, and are so appreciated!  More than once, we heard, " you made my day !" So this card Josiah invited me to choose was a great affirmation!  Cacao Brain Bliss -  ManukaMana I look forward to the first sip of Cacao Brain Bliss - made with ceremonial cacao, lions mane mushroom and manuka honey - whi...

Thank you Paul for inspiration and hosting! Camp Arrah Wanna- Oregon Cascades As  Mark Twain said , "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts."   Visiting each other's blogs offers unique way to travel, giving us  peeks into each other's worlds. Perhaps someone's post revived an old interest, or sparked a new one, and ours provided the same for another.  As our  challenge  ends, new opportunities beckon. F ollowing our blog challange host Paul's tips, I plan to continue posting several times a week, and visiting other blogs. Checking my sta...
