Featured Article: Gratitude

An ongoing theme of my newsletters is being present to what is right in the world. That sounds rather philanthropic and is typical of a dragon.  But the key aspect is that it starts with what is right in your world. After all, it is human to ask, 'what's in it for me?' That, for the most part, is what drives us. Do you agree?

Your world is my world. I sincerely believe in the concept that we are all one.  So, there is an ulterior motive in my asking clients to keep a gratitude journal.

I say and believe that abundance attracts abundance, positive energy attracts positive energy, and what you put into the world comes back to you strengthened.  But, a gratitude journal isn't about receiving. It's about gifting--give without expectation. Love delights in giving attention rather than attracting attention.

Gratitude—So, how does this translate when it's receiving generosity or love — be thankful or appreciative. Every day acknowledge how blessed you are.  Even during those times when the only thing you can be thankful for is knowing the Lord won't ask you to handle more than you can take. We've all had those days, haven't we?

My original request was before going to bed to write down at least one expression of gratitude.  This could be for something that someone else said or did, or something you said or did.  In the past when we worked on gratitude journals, you had asked for a bit of clarification, so here it is.

  • Each day keep your eyes and ears open for acts or words of kindness. If someone did or said something nice to you, acknowledge the positive energy.  If possible, do or say something nice back.
  • Pay it forward (see the movie by the same name). What is pay it forward? Do or say something nice to someone else—keep the ripple effect going.  The more positive energy we put out—the more of it there is in the world.
  • In the evening make a note of these events.  What more pleasant way to drift off to sleep than thinking of the things for which we are thankful.

Following are some examples from a gratitude list I made for my husband several years ago. We're celebrating several decades of marriage.  Remember - It's never too soon to say these things; but there may come a time when it is too late.

    I'm grateful that you provide a home that encourages faith and religious freedom.
    I'm grateful for your patience and have learned from you.
    I'm grateful that you love our family and want the best for us.
    I'm grateful for your friendship, imagination, and humor.
    I'm grateful that you value my independence and encourage my growth.
    I'm grateful for you dear husband.

My husband keeps his list in the medicine cabinet and sees it every day. Think of what this could mean to him on a morning when it's difficult to get up and out the door. Would a reminder of how much you're appreciated help? Don't we all need a boost from time to time? Create your list whether it's for a family member, friend, mentor, or even yourself. Acknowledge what you like about yourself and others!

Some of you may feel that starting each sentence with "I'm grateful,"  is a bit much. Feel free to find your own style. For me the more I said I was grateful, the more the wording and intention was present for me.  This became a gift for me too.  However, one of the attributes of a good teacher is for their students to grow beyond them. So… succeed and share.

Yes, share what you're grateful for by sending me an email if you'd like to, but do share it with someone, as that's an important part of the process. As Mother Theresa said, "let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier." And, as my Mother said, "leave a place better than you entered it." Let's change the world together!   Be defined by your generosity.  Be the one who says positive things about others. Be happy for others in their good fortune.

Remember - this is nice information.  But, it doesn't mean anything unless you put it into action. Make sure your caring includes doing. It takes a little time, but it's worth the investment!

Question of the Month   For answers to more questions, see Feng Shui Facts and
Feng Shui Tips..

Q. Do you have any suggestions on how I might overcome the fear and hopelessness I sometimes feel about the obstacles life throws my way?

A. How does all this relate? Instead of feeling hopeless, take 15 minutes a day and do something kind and generous for another person. It can be as simple as open the phone book and send a card (even an electronic card) to someone you don't know (let them know your intent so they aren't frightened), take the time to talk with a stranger in the grocery store (and offer you're favorite, uplifting quote), or drop off a teddy bear at a senior's center.

If a fear of it not going well is keeping you from doing something (and this applies to anything), let me share my definition of failure with you. Failure isn't making mistakes; it's not learning from the experience. Let your imagination guide you as to what you're comfortable with. Ask them to pay it forward (just like the movie, which means they need to pass along the kindness). Give a gift of love today, and don't expect anything back (or it wouldn't be a gift).

Lastly, as I often suggest, you should be proactive versus reactive! It's a prudent approach to life and the economy. A consultation with us may benefit you greatly. Remember, Feng Shui isn't a destination, it's a journey. Some call us their guardian angel because we monitor and advise beyond their expectations. It's fair to say 80% of our business is due to word of mouth. We're honored and blessed! See our testimonies.

Testimonies, Good News, Quotes and more

Dear Diana,
Thank you for the workshop. It was inspiring to know you've had similar things happen to you and your life turned around. That your famous and all is cool that you do a class even though none of us can afford anything like this but you'll be the first one I call when things turn around. What you said hit every one of us, even the person who knew nothing about Feng Shui (or that she believes in it) said it. It was so fun. Every one of us got something from it. The advise you gave me specifically was exactly what I needed to hear. That must have been the reason I was there. It meant a lot and you're such a nice person. Wish I could be around you more. Thanks for your time. It's good to know there are still good people out there. Thanks!

Balance depends on five elements – fire, earth, metal, water and wood; when a structure was built; when you were born; magnetic influences; and other significant factors.
