LOVE YOURSELF, THE REST WILL FOLLOW

Nothing’s better for your feng shui than taking good care of yourself. How else will you have the energy to take care of others? Putting your own happiness first is the best gift you can give to the world. All the rest will flow from that. This doesn’t mean I’m advising you to be selfish or greedy like a Wall St. Banker. Your happiness doesn’t derive from doing harm to others. But it doesn’t come from doing harm to yourself, either. Read on:

Think Positive 30 Blog has an uplifting short post on loving yourself that cites Lucille Ball as inspiration. Check it out here.

A VALENTINE TO A SUPER DOG

Pets add uplifting feng shui ch’i to our lives in so many ways. One of their greatest gifts is to love us unconditionally and that in turn opens our hearts to Love & Relationship. Don’t get discouraged if this Valentine’s Day finds you alone. Go to your local animal shelter and adopt a dog or a cat if you can afford their proper care and feeding, or volunteer to work at a shelter if you can’t take on that responsibility now. And for the story that goes with the photo here, go to this link: Becoming a Dog Person : StubbyDog. It’s a love letter to a dog from a cat person. Spoiler Alert: bring tissue!

What if you could jump start your child’s creativity simply by creating a great space? You can! The room shown here does just that by surrounding the child with “magic”. Go see more pictures here. And remember, the Creativity & Future Projects sector of the bagua is also represented by Children. Now you see why.

GLASSY EYED THRILLS

Tianmen Mountain National Park in China has just opened a breathtaking (and scary!) glass walkway a mile up a mountain that hugs a cliff. See more photos at newgarde blog. You don’t have to go all the way to China for this type of thrill, though. The Grand Canyon Skywalk has a glass balcony that you walk way out and over the majestic Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Personally, I’m chicken when it comes to doing this kind of thing. I’d have no problem living in a glass house like the one I featured recently on Feng Shui By Fishgirl but I’d have a huge problem walking on glass over a deep chasm. What about you?

LOVELY GIFTS OF LOVE

3 Love Messengers paintings by Isabelle Bryer

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I’m focusing on the feng shui of Love, Love, Love for the month of February. Art improves feng shui and supporting artists lifts your spirit, too. Check out Isabelle Bryer Paintings for some adorable love themed work like the 3 Love Messengers shown above. Think you can’t afford art? Many artists like Isabelle offer their images as printed reproductions to give more people access. That’s good feng shui!

Mozelle Art Studio Jewelry has gorgeous silver earrings

Lots of moms out there would love to get some jewelry for Valentine’s Day. For fine handcrafted jewelry, Mozelle Art Studio has a wonderful selection of earrings and necklaces. Artist Maureen Farr will also custom make an exclusive piece for your Valentine. How cool is that?

A Subscription to Feng Shui By Kindle for Your Kindle!

And while you’re at it, why not love yourself with a subscription to Feng Shui By Kindle on your Kindle Fire? It’s only 99 cents a month (99 means infinity in feng shui) and that’s a whole lot of love for a little bit o’ money. It’s the gift that keeps on giving and this blog operates entirely on your support (think of FSBFG as the NPR of feng shui!).
