Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life: how it all started..

It was about 1994 or 5 when I thought I had something to offer others in the field of feng shui by way of a book. I was at the time, a landscape architect who had been studying and applying feng shui principles to my design work. But a funny thing happens when you start to arrange your environment more optimallyyour path becomes clearer, your authentic self more aligned, you can take greater risks feeling confident of their outcome.

So I pitched Simon and Schuster a book entitled Feng Shui Your Landscape.

And they politely declined. The rejection letter said that although they are looking to acquire a feng shui book, this wasnt the one.

Did you see it? The opportunity? When you have your home feng shuied, you start to notice the opportunities right under your nose, that before you were convinced werent there. So I seized the opportunity. I called them back and asked, What feng shui book are you looking to acquire?

Their answer wasA FUN feng shui book.

Long story short, January of 2000 Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life hit the shelves. It soon became a national best-seller (I used feng shui techniques specifically for that,) has been translated into seven languages, and has sold over a half a million copies.

A lot of time has past since I wrote Move Your Stuff. Ive got about 15 more years of in-the-field wisdom from working with clients one-on-one, and Ive also sought out additional teachers and trainings in the specific fields of bau-biology (healthy-home stuff!) and Neuro-Linguistic Repatterning (mind-decluttering stuff!) Ive also continued my spiritual growth practices (meditation-type stuff!) too. So, it was becoming obvious in my consultations with clients that I had more to offer than the traditional feng shui conversation, as my clients kept saying, Wow! You do so much more than feng shui!

So, thats why I wrote Make a Shift, Change Your Life to expand the possibilities for ways to empower your mind, body, spirit, and of course, your environment! (These 4 headings happen to be how the book is divided up, just to make it easy for you!)
