The best compliment an educator like Karen can receive is the positive feedback she’s known to receive from her students and readers of her best-selling book, I purchased your new book the other day, last night I put together my helpful people box (mine was empty and I don’t know what happened to the old stuff). Anyway, I have been having trouble getting paid by one of the insurance companies, so I wrote, I am so happy that DME has gotten me listed and my money is flowing freely!! At 11:33am this am (I did it last night about 6pm), I got an email that they will now accept the bills and pay them!! Talk about fast! Thank you thank you thank you!! Things still feel unsettled in my brain, but I am already noticing changes. For example, this morning I had an Earth Day brunch at my home where I talked about things we can do for the environment, both for the planet and for our homes. I had more people in attendance than I’ve had at any other event, and more in product sales. When I was taking orders – a part of me wanted to give people the product at the member price, but I kept it at the retail price – letting them know they could get a discount if they became a member. There was an actual dialog going on in my head about what to charge them. My natural tendency is to give people the lowest possible price without regard to my profit – not the best idea if you want a viable business. Greetings from Temecula, California, where we are growing avocados successfully, thanks to you and your keen Feng Shui advice! In the state of California, the average avocado grove yields about 2,500 pounds of avocados per acre . This year we yielded 9,000 pounds per acre! Nearly four time the state average! We are blessed. I raced through Karen’s book. I started with her suggestions on stopping chi from being drained (e.g., red tape around sink drains and the toilet in my “prosperity” gua). I began to feel more energy and clarity, so then I got busy on the “Helpful People” gua. I bought a cheap box from a crafts store, wrapped it in aluminum foil, wrote out a few things for which we needed immediate help and put them inside. I cleared out four shelves of a bookcase and put out pictures of my helpful people, my little improvised box, bells and a steel bowl with more index cards in it for longer-term affirmations for assistance. Things improved almost immediately. My sleep doctor suddenly became more helpful and found I have a second sleep disorder–now I’m getting help for it, too. My life partner, who has MS, was hospitalized, but this resulted in my obtaining supplies and help for her that I hadn’t succeeded in obtaining on my own. This is making a huge difference for her well-being and my sanity. Even people who have tried to hurt me have only wound up helping me beyond measure. OK, specifically that means that a manager who wanted to fire me found out she didn’t have the legal authority to do so–but she did burn all my bridges to a career I never enjoyed but did not have the courage to leave. Now the manager who could fire me will help me make a profitable transition out of that career, which I only started because I stopped believing I could make money doing the work I really love–writing. Now I’m going back to writing–with my career guided by brilliant and caring people. Through Karen’s book, I began to see how I had expressed inner confusion, congestion and fear in my environment. Somehow I had never gotten a handle on these problems through any kind of introspection or therapy. But, thanks to Karen, I see I create an environment that reflects my inner self, for good or bad. Seeing these problems outside has made it possible for me to see them inside. I feel like Karen has empowered me to heal lifelong problems. With what I’ve learned from Karen, now I can see and feel and understand my problems AND I have the knowledge to create the energy flow to heal them. I’ll be darned, as I’m moving my stuff, I really am changing my life. Thanks, Karen. Remember when we were in class in Naples and you had us write down something that we wanted to manifest in our lives. I read mine aloud and I stated I would have a new Mercedes by November 15th and a significant other to ride along with me in it. Well as I told you on the phone the significant other manifested himself in my life on September 11th and yesterday October 20th I got the new 2009 Mercedes Benz. I just want you to know I believe Feng Shui is the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life. I am really learning how to manifest what I want on a consistent basis. Thanks for all the helpful hints I wanted to let you know that we are able to buy this apartment thanks in part to you and your book. 3 years ago we moved to a rental unit with a fireplace in the prosperity corner. Within months both my husband and I were without jobs and wondering what’s going on! I re-read your book and filled up the fireplace with beads from Mardi Gras (purple/green/gold). Closed it up with a sheet of purple paper in a picture frame, hung a paining with water above and placed money tree & purple amethyst rock in the front. Although it looks very strange everything turned around and we were back on our feet…Actually, we are doing much better than we ever anticipated! We’re now moving out of this apartment into our new condo. hit the shelves. It soon became a national bestseller and has been translated into seven languages, selling over a half a million copies.
