Be Inspired to Changing Your Environment by The Quick Feng Shui Method

I was reading this romance novel the other day on my iPad. It was called Sparks Fly by Lucy Kevin. It is one of the freely downloadable books on the iBooks to pass some time in utter frivolity.

Anyhow, the heroine is a Feng Shui consultant and she is out to fix a man's attitude on romance. She sets out to advice him about the importance of 'clearing clutter' in his office and how that might affect his love life.

While reading this, I look around my bedroom and go wow, wow, hang on. How am I inviting romance to my life or how is the Feng Shui in my house enhancing my life goal settings?

To my utter amazement, I find that I have completely and utterly overlooked the effect of Feng Shui in my live. What a horrible thing to do, when everything is related to everything.

So, I set out to research about Fen Shui for the next five minutes on Internet. I came up with a quick remedy plan and the next day go to Spotlight and buy new sheets to my bed and to Target to buy a new picture. I judge my old dearly loved, inherited naivistic art work will remain with some improvements on the side.



And the next day, I have a totally new environment. I feel better, my family gets a laugh from seeing mom's new enthusiastic way of inspiration application and I am having lots of fun.



Ah! There is the new picture of the romantically lit Eiffel Tower where I will be again some day with my loved ones.

Of course, my fun is not done yet. There is more to accomplish, but at least that is a start. I feel a lot better, now that I have applied some science to my life. It is highly recommended.
Please, enjoy!

Be Inspired by the Energy in the City Centre

There is something captivating about city centres. Sometimes, it is a real job to get there, to spend a day shopping or working. For a person, living and working in the suburbs, spending time in the city itself can be a rare occurrence.

However, it can also be a really inspiring event. It might mean travelling long distances, experiencing crowded streets, finding parking spots where you pay enormous amounts for few hours in rush and urgency.

After that, you just stroll in the shopping centres, sit in the cafés sipping fancy coffee and observing people. It is a different energy, vitalising and draining at the same time. You might find new inspiring art works, a whole wall that you never noticed before, or two painted living sculptures that put on a fanny act.

You find new shops and products that you never saw before and the old familiar shops where you have visited before have filled up with new things that you can find cool and inviting to purchase or just browse.  You might find that suddenly all the fancy shops are sporting the 60’s and the 70’s reproductions, including your favourite clothes and accessories stores.

Wow! So, why not be inspired instead of irritated that everything is taking its time, that it is raining a little, that there are such crowds. Let the energy of the city centre lure you. Then, when you are back home in your own familiar environment, you can think about how different people are in their relationship to cities and suburbs, the places we live in and love. 

Be Inspired by the Cutting Edge Information from the Recent Nonfiction Books and Articles

I have always been inspired by books. Ever since I remember, reading books has been my most favourite past time.  Any bookshop and I am happy to spend hours in there, no sweat. Lately, though, since there is so much to do, mostly work, I have had to cut the reading of the books to the bare minimum just before going to sleep.

The good news is that I have had to focus on the most important information I could find in relation to whatever I am interested in at any given time. I cannot turn all my enquiries to a huge research project any more. Istead I choose the well researched most representative and most gutting edge information on anything and everything.

Internet is a huge help, since any enquiry can be turned to a mini-research lasting a few minutes or an hour. Then the results or the quick study can be evaluated and the book that is the most recommended by the popularity or the academia gets to be the next in line for the night time reading.

I have been thoroughly stimulated by the books on the neurology of the brain. How wonderful is it that we now can say how an enlightened person’s brains work or start changing our thinking into a positive mode and measure it through an online ratio testing.

I have also been very enthused by the books on longevity, health and nutrition. How marvellous is it that somebody has thought to develop age defying technologies that impact in the human cellular level so that there is a possibility to slow the aging process and die healthy instead of sick and tired.

Finally, how extraordinary that there is so much evidence about our sugar eating habits since the turn of the 20^th Century that we can adjust and live a sustainable and long life in happiness and health if we so wish.

Wow,  isn’t that inspiring?

I urge you to be inspired by the cutting edge information in good, well researched books. Be inspired by the open-mindedness and the discovery of innovative and natural ways to live.  

Be Inspired by Your Growing Garden

This year I have had a pleasure of following my growing garden. No, I am no gardener. In fact I employ a gardening service to maintain the garden I got as a birthday present from my son and son-in-law in Christmas 2010. What I do is to watch it grow and bloom every now and then. I always wanted to have a garden with flowers around the year. In Queensland, Australia, it is a possible thing to do.

Every so often I take pictures and report back to my son on how much the garden has grown. It is to say thank you and to show him how much I have enjoyed the garden and the huge work he and his friends put into designing, building and planting it for me.


Here, for example is my favorite red flower. In my home country in Finland, we call it the Christmas Star. There it only grows inside and rarely lasts long at that.

In Australia, Euphorbia Pulcherrima is a tree, commonly known as Poinsettia and blooms in June-July. Here is how much my tree has grown in one year.


It has been my pleasure to know that here in Queensland we truly can celebrate the current month as 'Christmas in July' as most of the things, including the warming food selection is just right for this time of the year.

It is truly wonderful to be able to enjoy and be inspired by a lovingly built and maintained garden.
