This has got to be the best! Recently I had the good fortune to participate in a total Renovation in a home. The entire inside of the large house was gutted and I was asked for advice on colors, new furniture, whether to heighten the ceiling, how many bathrooms to put in and where they should be placed; it was quite an undertaking and I was enjoying the hours we spent discussing different aspects of things.

Lucy, my client, was a lovely lady. With very particular tastes and fortunately, had the finances to change the "shell" she had purchased into anything she wanted. I always ask my clients how they heard about Feng Shui, what drew them to it. And I've heard many stories over the years, but this was MY particular favorite:

Lucy had started a new business in Brooklyn five years ago; it was a day care center. One problem: she was open almost three months and had not been able to sign one child up. She was worried she would have to close it already, after the expense of work she had done there as well as rent and other expenses, she was pretty much tapped out.

One thing I love about Lucy is that she doesn't pull any punches. She tells people things straight out and never thinks to censor her words. One day while literally praying for a customer, an elderly Chinese man came in. She looked straight at him and said "Mister, if you came to ask me for money, you're flat out of luck. I don't have a dime and if I don't get a miracle soon, I'll be out of business."

Very quietly, the man turned to leave. But he turned back around, reached in his pocket and handed Lucy a ten dollar bill. "You have an empty fish tank" he said. "Take this money and go buy some fish, the money will come." Lucy said she was a bit stunned but closed the business and walked down the block to buy some fish as he directed. The next day, she reported, she signed up four children to her day care center. Today, five years later, there is a waiting list to get in for that one and the other one she opened.

She had never heard of Feng Shui and the kind gentleman did not mention it but a few weeks later she caught part of a show talking about it. And they focused on a fish tank. She said something clicked with her and she had been reading about it and employing Feng Shui techniques since then.

You have to wonder, did Lucy just get lucky and strike it rich? Or could some fish have attracted all this wealth into her life? She'll swear it's the fish and after all the years of doing this work, I would too. She was finally able to purchase her dream house (well, her dream shell and turn it into her dream house).

While most of my client's certainly don't have the results Lucy has had with Feng Shui, it never ceases to amaze me the transformations that have occurred for them; New and better careers, finding the love of their life, achieving a pregnancy they thought would never happen, the stores are endless. And always wonderful to hear.

The next time you are feeling down, stuck, or wanting to change something in your life, try Lucy's approach. Get a fish tank and buy some fish. In Feng Shui, we ask that you get Nine red goldfish and one Black one. We buy the black one to absorb the energy if one of the others passes over, sort of like insurance. If it doesn't attract lots of wealth into your life, at least you'll have something very pretty to look at! And honestly, you'll never know until you try.
