I love writing poetry; I can always make up a good story. I loved all kinds of artwork and needlecraft, and you give me a pencil and I can draw you, picture while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I came across the art of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feng_shui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feng shui<\/a>&nbsp;around 1985. Its teachings and advice seemed so simple and so easy to understand that I soon came to realise why I had always felt fortunate. I have always been very balanced in my personal life, interested in people, careful with money and always lived a healthy, natural life, all of which helped towards my deeper understanding of what good luck really meant and how to achieve it. After studying feng shui for some years I started to practice and by giving consultations, was able to help many people turn their everyday lives and problems around.&nbsp; I joined the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fengshuisociety.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Feng Shui Society<\/a>&nbsp;in 1998 and after just a few years as a member I became the membership secretary and eventually became an Accredited Consultant. I am a life-long member of the society. I retired a while ago and am no longer an Accredited Consultant, yet I hope through my new website pages I will be able to advise and help you in your search for a happy, healthy, and wealthy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dear friend once said that<em>: \u201cI wasn\u2019t really lucky at all, I just thought I was.\u201d<\/em> &nbsp;Well, if that is so\u2026 Lucky Me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born in London, more years ago than I care to remember, I have always considered myself as being lucky!
