A Little Feng Shui Anyone

A little feng shui anyone? How about a little child’s play?

Though I am not a feng shui enthusiast, I do believe there is something to creating a peaceful environment in the home via furniture arrangement and the placement of decorative accents.

When I first created the “Live Joyfully” piece, I sat on it for a few months, trying to decide what image to include beside the tree. But the more I starred at the canvas, the more I liked its simplicity. Something about the piece just brought thoughts of peaceful, joyful living to mind. And so I settled on leaving it alone and now, I am glad I did.

As for child’s play, what parent wouldn’t want to bestow a few good vibes in a child’s room?

In China, the elephant symbolizes energy, strength, and power. In Buddhism. the elephant symbolizes patience and wisdom. In Eastern countries, the elephant symbolizes one’s status in life; usually royalty. In the United States, the elephant symbolizes the ability to maintain one’s mental health for a very long time. And if an elephant’s trunk is raised and captured in photos or art, it symbolizes good luck (or good fortune).

But for me, I think elephants symbolize the ultimate power of love.

Did you know that elephants can only be separated by death or capture? Or that they immediately go to the aid of another elephant who is injured or attacked? Or that they co-parent each other’s children? Or that they have no problem showing their love for one another? Or that they actually morn their dead? They even have rituals!

Keep Creating.
