Got Goat?

BySusan Chan February 11, 2015

There’s something about being Asian, especially Chinese, that creates some anticipation around this time of year. I was on the phone with my parents the other day and the conversation went something like this: Parents: So what’s your plan this year? Me: What do you mean? Parents: Aiyah! Chinese New Year is coming up. You…

Dance Through The Winter Solstice

BySusan Chan December 17, 2014

Winter Solstice. It’s cold and gray. Everyone seems kinda grumpy all the time. And it’s as contagious as last year’s flu. Oy. On December 21st, we will have only 9 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. For some reason, I don’t feel very Feng Shui-ey right now. But this happens like clockwork every single December….

Prepping Your Inner and Outer Homes for the Holidays

BySusan Chan December 10, 2014

While the festive superficial bling is fun and endearing, what I really cherish is what’s underneath.

Festivities can bring up alot of mixed feelings and emotions.

Overwhelm, fatigue, the oh so familiar, “I-can’t-get-myself-off-the-couch-to-do-anything” feeling.

But being the optimist or activist as I am, I feel that this is the perfect time of year to face your “stuff” underneath and really see how things are working (or not) in your life.

Looking at and preparing your inner home especially as the year finishes out, will definitely help smoothly transition into the new year.

Double Your Personal Success With Mirrors

BySusan Chan November 5, 2014

So here’s the thing you need to know about mirrors. Mirrors are a BIG DEAL. Compared to what aspirin is to doctors, in Feng Shui, mirrors are sometimes considered the cure-all used as simple remedies for many things. But it’s much more profound than that.
The mirrors in your home are a mirror of your life. Let that sit with you a minute.

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…

Getting Ready For Greatness: Fall Cleanse 2014

BySusan Chan October 8, 2014

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…

The Light in the Darkness

BySusan Chan September 17, 2014

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…

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…

Activating your Career Path

BySusan Chan August 27, 2014

There are no jobs out there. Nobody is hiring. The economy is really bad. I feel sorry for recent graduates or anyone looking for a job. I’m lucky to have the job I have, so why would I look anywhere else? Here’s what I say to all of this chatter: Bull-crap. (sorry for my French,…
