Besides providing Feng Shui Consultations, Reiki Healing sessions and more, I've been playing for local bands based out of Long Island, Brooklyn and New York City. I had the pleasure of joining forces with Dan Strauss and Zigline to perform at Shrine World Music Venue in Harlem, NY on Wednesday night (April 17th, 2024). The evening was filled with soothing eclectic experimental sounds featuring Dan Strauss as the lead vocalist on guitar, Todd Rogers on violin, Raymond Russel on bass and myself, Laura Cerrano on percussion. To watch a live recording of our performance you can click on this link, Dan Strauss and Zigline at Shrine World Music Venue in Harlem, NY. Enjoy!P.s. this is an example of living the Feng Shui lifestyle.  In this case, it was planting a seed of an idea that brought j...

Have you ever resented or hated your home? This is a topic in the Feng Shui community not often spoken about, but is extremely important to be aware of. Occupants who resent or hate their home enable huge levels of unsettling energy that have the potential to engulf the entire home if gone unchecked. The intention of this article is to bridge science, practicality and a simple Space Clearing healing ritual to realign your home and self with harmonizing frequencies of love, compassion and peace. Read the full article by visiting: How Does Resenting and Hating My Home Affect The Energy?I'm working on a second article to offer an example of this situation to provide more context.

Negative Places:Years ago, long before "The Secret" came out there was a book I picked up called ‘You Can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought' by Peter McWilliams and John Roger.  It made an impression on me then because I believed it; it makes sense.  More and more people believe it now because they've heard more about the toll, emotional and physical, that your emotions and energy can take on your body.Several years ago while working with my Energy Healer I was reminded again but with more emphasis.  EVERY SINGLE THING we read, hear about or watch can take on toll on us, physically.  We fill ourselves up physically with negative energy and it becomes stored in our bodies, causing DIS-EASE.  I was formerly a CNN junkie, used to watch Reality shows and read the newspaper.  And it ...

The Beresford A coop building so vast it contains three separate lobbies fronting both Central Park West and West 81st Street. It has three addresses 211 Central Park West, 1 West 81st Street and 7 West 81st Street. The building was completed a month prior to the stock market crash in 1929. The Beresford is a master piece of architect Emory Roth. The building has 175 apartments on 23 floors with a limestone base and brick-clad upper floors. The courtyard contains a fountain and a garden. Italian Renaissance in design, the Beresford is executed in brick with limestone and terra cotta trim. Animating the walls is a distinctive blend of late-Renaissance sculpture: winged cherubs, angels, dolphins, rams' heads and rosettes. The Beresford is where Rock Hudson had his "classic six" home away...

So what will $1900 get you in New York this week? As always check out www.thebestofthebigapple.com for the latest rental deals. Or a Upper 60's West Side (block off the park) Studio   or in Washington Heights / Inwood you can get a 3 bedroom apartment and in West Harlem it will rent you a 1 bedroom apartment. That's about $63.35 a day, not including your power, cable and phone bills.

It started last January and I remember it distinctly.  I was doing some work on the computer and the phone rang.  It was just after 2pm.  The person on the other end explained they were thinking of a project that involved Feng Shui and proceeded to explain a little about it.  He asked me many questions such as what methods I used, if I were Certified, and about verifiable references.  "It will take a long time," he said, "are you up to it?"  It was like nothing I've ever done before.  I heard myself saying "Of course!" and wondering what I was SAYING?  I had never done anything like it but you wouldn't have known from my voice.  It's funny that when you rise to the occasion you can accomplish anything.  And it's also true.  First you have to shed those self doubts and step out of your o...

 The holiday season is fast approaching and it's time to start thinking about tipping for services in our apartment buildings.For those living in New York, holiday tipping can seem endless.While it's important to be generous, it's also important to be realistic about what you can afford.Tips in decent class buildings (not Park and Fifth Avenues) run between $20 and $300, and it's not uncommon for supers to accumulate well into the five figures. Porters and doormen see anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000, depending on the size of the building.Holiday tipping is a way to say ‘thank you' for services. And it's a big part of apartment service worker's compensation.Some Manhattan apartment buildings pool tips so the workers receive one lump sum. Most leave it up to the individual resident.I ...

Funny, isn't it?  You're expecting or hoping for something and it doesn't come to you at all.  Fact is, things are not always going to turn out the way you might have hoped.  Sometimes, they turn out even BETTER.Last month I mentioned in a post that I had written a very short piece to be included in an article for Women's Day Magazine.  The reporter writing the article, Jane Mascarella had previously interviewed me and was doing a piece for Woman's Day called "Giving Thanks."  Myself and many others were asked to submit a very short note of Thanks to anyone we wished.  I chose to write mine to a wonderful person in Sedona, Deborah Rose, that I have not been able to find; she is the one that originally told me about Feng Shui and had encouraged me to look into it.Women's Day chose to pri...

Like any lengthy, important process, purchasing a home for the first time is easiest if each step is treated with the utmost care and prudence.  Even for those with large sums of money invested in various markets, a purchase of a home is often the single most important financial decision that one makes.  With the right help, advice, and methodology, purchasing a home for the first time can be one of life's most rewarding experiences. It is important to learn all the details about the process of purchasing a home before one actually begins the search for a new home.  While consulting with an exclusive buyer's broker like Elika Associates will make the process incomparably easier, it is still best to educate oneself fully on how to purchase Manhattan apartments.  There are number of non p...

Two recent national studies report more good news for Manhattan. A national salary survery from the bureau of labor statistics just released and a national property tax study from The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan research report were reported by Rueters in The NY Post.  Manhattan Salaries Highest in the country: Equivalent to nearly $147,000 per year, average weekly pay for Manhattan residents of $2,821 is up 16.7 percent from the same period of 2006, maintaining its spot as the wealthiest county in the United States.

Despite all the gloomy headlines and serious fallout from the sub-prime mortgage business, according to Bloomberg News Wall Street bonuses this year are estimated to be $38 billion, even greater than last year. Many shareholders in stocks have lost money this year, but the increase bonus pool comes from investment banking fees from M&A and underwriting IPO's despite the losses from subprime mortgages. Goldman Sachs is reporting record profits, they hedged subprime losses with a short strategy. The bonus money is split among about 186,000 workers at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns.The average $201,500 bonus on Wall Street is more than four times the $48,201 median household income in the U.S. last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau statis...

While I never thought I could afford to stay at the Carlyle Hotel on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, I spent many evenings in the windowless Café Carlyle enjoying the music of famed cabaret singer-pianist, Bobby Short.  In fact I was there so often over the years, that we actually became first-name basis friends.When Bobby died of leukemia in March of 2005 at 71, it became apparent to me that those who entertained small houses of live audiences, night after night, were vanishing and there were few, if any, replacing them.  A tragedy in the making.Bobby Short was to the Café Carlyle what Sylvia Sims was to the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel.  And she's gone, too.And while Michael Feinstein has his spot at Lowe's Regency, he is rarely there tp perform, preferring instead to tour and play fo...
