Moving, Shifting and Changing

Feng Shui, the ancient system of movement, placement, and flow is reflected in every action and reaction of life. My life is again moving swiftly forward as I "let go and let God," as the saying goes. My husband and I are ready for another adventure and have purchased a home far to the north in Washington State. We have settled longer in Benicia than I expected, and it has been a treat to stay in one place these last eight years.

Thank you a million times over for taking my classes and workshops. Your support has not only brought success to me but to all of clients and students who have learn about the art of placement and used Feng Shui in their lives. We have all learned together that this science has enriched the essence of their environmental, physical, and spiritual aspects of daily lives. Using your own religion and beliefs, we have brought this ancient of harmony and balance into modern society.

From the early beginnings of teaching Feng Shui to clients, students and many organizations, my audiences and clients have included county school systems, hospitals, government buildings, therapists, AMA Conventions, law offices, physicians, dentists, chiropractic doctors, veterinarians, city offices, tug boat companies, scientific laboratories, CEO’s in many fields, building projects, wineries, board of realtors, companies and corporations. I have witnessed Feng Shui work thousands of times when incorporated in homes and facilities. Hopefully you have gained a respect for this way of living. Thank you for giving me a chance to bring you along on my journey.

The shoppe will be open for a few more weeks. Please come by to say hello and get 25% off of most items if you chose to purchase anything. I can continue to Feng Shui for you by fax and phone, which I have been doing for out-of-state and out-of-country clients. I have included my email to Crystal Chu from the Yun Lin Temple, my plans for the future, and more of the details of our move. Thanks again for your dedication and please continue to email your questions, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Crystal Chu, CEO

Chief Executive Officer, Yun Lin Temple

Hello Crystal,

I am glad to hear from you and the Temple. Just to let you and Master Lin know, I am moving to an island in Washington State called Guemes. It is part of the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound area. British Columbia is a two-hour ferry ride to the northwest, and Canada is one hour away to the North.

I will be closing my Feng Shui Shoppe in Benicia, California by the middle of July, so I may miss the upcoming class if we (my husband and myself) are in the process of changing homes and signing the many papers involved. He has decided to retire, which is a blessing. I will still be writing my WEST MEETS EAST Feng Shui newspaper column for the local Benicia paper. My columns can also be read on my website moongateschool.com weekly.

I plan to open an office and work with home builders and architects using Feng Shui, but keep my art studio on the island. I have faith that every thing will evolve in sequence. The isolated location draws many creative people because of the wonderful Chi. Guemes, pronounced Guaymas is north of Anacortes, Washington. The six-minute ferry ride runs every thirty minutes to accommodate the island’s 500 residents.

We will be with our grandchildren which is an important part of decision. Please convey my gratitude to his HH in giving me his Feng Shui wisdom and knowledge and powerful Chi to help my clients and family members. Also to thank you, Crystal, for your answers and long hours of work and dedication.

Maybe Professor would consider coming to Seattle next year for a class. I hope to touch base with our northern groups and see what is happening in the way of workshops, etc. I hope to have room for guests in a year and a place to teach classes.

I emailed Deborah Gee of my plans last week. I will keep my web sites, so please continue to send me updates of events. I have been ask to speak for a realtors’ group near my new home, so as you can see, I’m still loving my journey. If professor has any advice for my new life, please forward his ideas and insight so I can help bring peace to my new clients.

Blessings,

Caroline Patrick
