Creating Space

BySusan Chan

When people think of space in terms of Feng Shui, naturally one thinks of the immediate physical space. Living room, bedroom, office. Not often do we think about the space that encompasses the personal space between individuals, the air space, the energy space. Let me elaborate. I try to get to the sauna a few…

A Stellar Recycling Program

BySusan Chan

I wanted to share some beautiful images I came across this weekend. Yes, they are discarded cds, ingeniously transformed into an ocean of beauty and magic by architect Clémence Eliard and artist Elise Morin.

Financial Qi : Mundane remedies (Part 2 of 2)

BySusan Chan

How did you do about figuring out your financial goals? Good thing about this plan is that there is no set time you need to start.

Light up My Life

BySusan Chan

I love this time of year. Who doesn’t love ambient stringed lights and a reason to stay indoors and eat warm comfort food? I fondly remember the glow of Christmas lights that hung in my apartment year round when I was well into my late 20s. Ok maybe it was even a little later. Unfortunately…
