Wk 1: Fall Cleanse – Your Piles vs You

BySusan Chan October 15, 2014

Being a Feng Shui Consultant doesn’t make me virtuous nor immune to clutter. Last week I found myself staring at a pile of things that were – guess where – smack in the middle of my abundance area. A leaning tower of things I needed to get fixed or donate and all the in-betweens. Just…

We can no longer be in denial. Fall is here folks! Sure, it’s time to say goodbye to sunshiney weekends and rooftop beverages, but how excited are we for scarf and hot cider weather? I’ve got my list of seasonal must-dos which includes apple picking trips upstate, a hay ride and a Fall Cleanse with…

Oh Sunlight, Where Art Thou?

BySusan Chan October 1, 2014

Some of you are beginning to get a bit freaked out that the sun is starting to set at 7:30pm.No more summer cocktails on the patio or fresh-air activities with the kids after work. This darkness makes us want to make a beeline to our caves (a.k.a beautifully Feng Shui-ed homes).I actually didn’t even pay any attention to this seasonal…

Used, Inherited or Saturated Objects

BySusan Chan September 24, 2014

It’s officially Autumn and we naturally want to spend more time indoors, feeling the need to nest and finally getting those pesky home projects started. That means it may be time to decide what to do with that stuff that’s piling up – like the sad doggie painting that was a gift from Aunt Sally or the antique lamp you inherited…

The Light in the Darkness

Ya got a minute? C’mon, humor me. Take a look around you. Slowly drink it all in. What do you see? Are you happy with what surrounds you? Are you where you want to be? Are the things that surround you a true reflection of you and what matters most to you in life? Please read the next…

Finding the Comfort in Discomfort

BySusan Chan September 10, 2014

Folks, the Summer is coming to an end. The Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere falls on September 23rd and many people find the seasonal shift from warm to cooler weather to be very challenging. Days are shorter, flowers and trees lose their colorful vibrancy and you need to start piling on more layers. This change of season is…

Dude, where’s the Sofa?

BySusan Chan September 3, 2014

I live in New York City. Aside from Japan where I hear people get help squashing into subway cars and slumber in sleep pods, I think we may be the city with the least amount of square footage per person. Due to this space challenge, many feel that they would like to follow my suggestions of putting their desk or…

It’s officially the last month of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.I am sorry to depress you with this reminder and for those of you who have kids, I’m sure you’re already feeling it. If you haven’t gone away already, it’s not too late! There are still plenty of August days clamoring for last minute getaways and day trips. And…

Gotta organize. Gotta get rid of stuff. Gotta make the time to clear my pantry, garage, basement, paperwork. Stuff. Things. Clutter. And more clutter.Does this scenario sound familiar to you? I’ve been working with many clients recently who tell me that they are drowning in their stuff. They can’t seem to get ahead. Piles get bigger, to-do lists get…

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

BySusan Chan July 30, 2014

Gosh darn it NYC, it’s hot outside. Summer is definitely here in its full and beautiful glory. It’s beach / watermelon eating / dancing under the stars weather and all I hear from those around me is, “I’m exhausted.” So what’s up? This feeling of exhaustion makes sense not only because the warmer weather makes us more active…
