Last weekend I had back-to-back Feng Shui and Reiki healing sessions throughout New York City.During my lunch break, I decided to visit the historic South Street Seaport, located adjacent to the financial district in lower Manhattan. This was a wonderful visit as it was bustling with outdoor shoppers and dining, and even lounge chairs located at the end of the pier where you could just lay back to take in the views and pause for a moment. While exploring the South Steet Seaport I came across a free tour of the Wavertree 1885 ship. The tour provided some basic facts about the Wavertree ship and in all, this ship has been through a lot, shipping cargo all around the world in all kinds of weather. The fact that it's still standing is pretty impressive and the tour shared the entire ship is... 04/30/2022

The dining room in Feng Shui takes on the energy of social gatherings, connecting with family, friends, and your community. Over the years, Americans have drastically reduced the use of formal dining rooms, except for the occasional holiday or birthday celebration. But since the Covid-19 pandemic has emerged, the return of using the dining room has increased, more so as an extra in-home office but hopefully to also be utilized once again for family and social gatherings. HOW CAN I ACCOMMODATE THE DINING ROOM TABLE FOR WORK AND LIFE USAGE?  The best recommendation is to make the transformation of the dining room into an in-home office space easy. This means beginning to inventory and/or looking for dining room furniture that provides storage options, so when work is done, you can easily ... 04/29/2022

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and the celebrations will be subdued if at all.  During my career as head of HR for Brunschwig & Fils in New York I remember the celebrations fondly.Our law firm and accounting firm had partners who were members of the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of New York.  Each year we were invited to the St. Patrick's Day gala Dinner, a packed house at The New York Sheridan.  They had a hospitality suite before the dinner and would have the New York Governor, New York City Mayor, US Senators, and other politicians.  We would shake hands with all of them.The dinner speakers were special too.  I remember Tim Russert gave a remarkable speech.  Then in 2003, Tom Brokow was scheduled.  He was delayed in the Studio covering President Bush announcing the war i... 03/16/2021

 Kitchen cabinets are sometimes custom-built. When they start to show wear-and-tear, replacing them can be costly. Stock cabinets cost less, but the idea of cabinet replacement can be daunting. Refacing kitchen cabinets costs about half of what replacement costs. Do-it-yourselfers who desire to save money, have necessary carpentry skills, and some workshop space can do the cabinet refacing independently. The refacing of Euro-style cabinets involves covering the drawer and door faces and sides of the cabinets with wood or plastic veneer. Drawer and door fronts can also be repaired with rigid thermofoil (RTF).The refacing process of traditional frame-and-panel doors typically involves covering the cabinets' sides and frames with a veneer and replacing the drawer and door fronts with mater... 03/01/2021

This is a great question! So, let’s dig a little deeper into the symbolic representation of what water element and drain pipes represent according to modern day Feng Shui principles.  Water element is linked to emotions and the subconscious mind, When water element is present in the ideal locations (north: career, east: family, southeast: wealth) inside a home and along the land, there is a sense of controlled movement that flows with ease and serenity as you navigate life.  In Feng Shui drain pipes relate to wealth and health (blood flow and the intestines, which also relates to the immune system). In regard to the reference of wealth, some may say leaky pipes is draining away your finances. Or, a clogged drain pipe could be backing up your finances, such as with not receiving payments... 09/15/2020

With the Covid-19 pandemic happening, our way of ‘normalcy’ has shifted dramatically in just about everything we do from personal to professional daily lifestyles. At first, this was a huge shock to the nervous system, and for some, it still is. However, if you can allow yourself to accept the new norm, surrender your fears of change, give yourself permission to work through the emotions that come with this change and begin to adapt, you can position yourself to see the silver lining and evolve.I have gone through my own moments of pause, reflection and recalibration. I went from seeing clients every week to an abrupt halt, with everything stopping once social distancing orders where put into effect. In regard to my business, the option of utilizing Virtual Feng Shui Consultations has a... 05/06/2020

More agents are looking for ways to get around the city’s dominant listings platform  Over the first few months of 2020, real estate agents began seeing a strange new trend in their inboxes: emails advertising listings not available on a certain popular listing site. “NOT ON STREETEASY!” screamed the subject line of a Compass team’s e-blast about a Financial District studio going for $650,000. “Surprise your clients as this will NOT be found on StreetEasy!” an agent from Sotheby’s International Realty wrote about a $1.5 million sales listing on the Upper East Side, and an email from a Corcoran Group broker touted a $1.2 million Boerum Hill listing with the subject line, “The best condo in Brooklyn is not on StreetEasy.” The senders are brokers who hang their shingles with some of the bi... 04/25/2020
