Do you believe in Feng Shui? Is your home Feng Shui?

Nope, no feng shui in my house. My house is decorated in the theme of "old single man lives here".

A friend of mine uses feng shui, she painted walls of her house green and purple and put a bowl of coins to attract wealth.

I'd like to try some of its concept one day, and see if I can feel the energy :)

It would be nice if it was but this is Hunter's home and he likes it the way He wants it.  I know a little of Feng Shui and harmonizing your home but I'll have to ask Hunter. He's the boss !

Dear Jann,

I do believe in the concept, although I am not convinced all the rules are the way to carry it out. I think many people just instinctively have a way of arranging things so the space is very comfortable, and you can tell it when you walk in their home.

And no I would not spend all that time and money and effort on feng shui.

Mrs Didge has been using feng shui for years; she just doesn't call it by that name. Mind you, she doesn't hang octagonal mirrors on the wall either.

She knows that if she cooks a roast people are going to come from everywhere. It smells great. If she wants to keep them away it only takes a medium-sized Dobermann.

Attracting the kids back to the yard was no problem. She put in a swimming pool. And to send them away? Disconnect the TV.

She and I took turns with the cooking when we were on holidays and I remember once, when it was her turn at the helm, she hung a pair of my red pyjamas outside the window of our second-floor unit. You could see them from the sandbar where we were fishing and it got us home tout suite.

Feng shui the Aussie way .  .  .  It's just plain old feminine know-how!
