In the beginning there was immediately 3 !


Where is Feng Shui in all this ? Will get there guys, be patient. 

My husband started work, as a Manager of a prestigious bank. I started taking our daughter to summer class. It was such joy, to be a simple mom. I love the going to the grocery, cooking, cleaning, ahhh the simple life, so I thought. Once again we were plagued by my husband’s quotas & meetings, and since he has been the one taking care of our daughter for almost 6 years, I had to “share” with him my network of clients with the hopes of meeting his quota & earning him a permanency in his new job. I admit, it was less stressful but nevertheless there was still some stress. Thank God for social media thou, it made reaching people to offer (begging) them to bank with my husband a little easier PLUS I finally got to join Facebook WINK WINK 

To make the long story short, and to sum up the 1 year & 2 months – money was scarce, quota was not met, bills were not getting paid, permanency impossible. My husband lost his job. You can imagine the worry I went thru. School was about to close and we have to settle all arrears, all I can say is Thank God for good friends. I got a loan from a high school friend to cover for all our payment dues for Benz’s school. How bout food, clothing & shelter, well clothing & shelter was there, so the only problem left was “food”. We took life one day at a time. By June, my husband got a once a week accounting job from one of my cousins PRAISE THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS ! Now we had food, clothing & shelter. The pay was very very modest, just enough to buy a decent amount of food for 3 heads – barely but we were very thankful. The job hunting continues but with no luck. We couldn’t make our car registration nor our car maintenance so supposedly we can’t drive around coz our registration is past due, well we make do. We still use it to do the grocery, just to get sometime out of the house. Staying in the 4 walls can drive you “depressed” specially if you can’t watch TV. Yes, we can’t cause were trying to minimize our electric bill that my husband’s kind sister is paying. 

It was a very difficult time for us. Before even thou I had a couple of encounters with death, at least we could afford delaying it with hospitalization. My husband sees it differently, for him being healthy is good enough even if were starving, “at least were alive” .Were all different individuals, with our opinions, our own point of views, I guess we just see things differently. It’s so hard for me to be penniless & helpless. But, to be honest, I felt deliberated. I felt free, I was always a worry worth. But now, there’s nothing I can do about it. The pressure is less burdensome, but there is still, just not as much. 

Mu husband’s gig was short lived – 6 months to be exact, nevertheless it gave us a good Christmas THANK YOU JESUS. By February, my cousins no longer needed his services, OMG were back to the problem of “food” again. Then it happened, a mommy friend of mine from Benz’s school called to ask if I knew anybody who does Feng Shui. Being an enthusiast for years PLUS it’s in my blood, I boldly told her “I do”. I mean, how hard can it get? A common mommy friend from school wants to buy a property, and she just wants to know if the property is “lucky” , piece of cake. Together with my stored knowledge & on-line research I embarked to my new calling of Feng Shui Adviser. When asked how much, I told them that what I do doesn’t require a price, any amount would do unlike the society pages Feng Shui Masters who charge by the hour. 

I prayed hard for the Lord’s guidance, I don’t want to give wrong advise, and I know only God can arm me with the right knowledge. It went well ! Soon enough it was followed by 2 more real estate Feng Shui check up. Beside the property consultation, I also made it a point to give “personal” advise with regards to their animal sign. And so it began my friends, A  journey not only towards self discovery but also to challenges of the unknown. I am excited yes, but I am also afraid. My strength comes in knowing that the LORD will guide me.
