Plants Eating the Water in my Career Corner

Posted on November 23rd, 2009 jean 4 comments

Uh, oh. Have I ever been bad. No wonder I don’t have an agent. I have rocks in my career corner. And plants. Lots of plants. This is not good. Not good at all.

In case you fear that I have fallen off my rocker, I have been checking out a book on feng shui. As it turns out, my career corner happens to be located in my kitchen. (North) And a career area, if I have it right, is a water area in one’s life. Rocks and plants eat water. That’s where the ‘uh, oh’ comes in. After reading that I sprang up and put my rock collection which was on the northern most windowsill in a bowl and shoved it in my I-haven’t-read-that-far-in-the-book corner. Next up, plants. Problem is, I like having plants in the kitchen. I like the green, leafy, chi-making plants on top of my cupboards. I have removed two plants, but haven’t quite figured out a loophole to keep the other four.

My husband, who heard me muttering about chi, career corners and water eating rocks, warned me, “Be careful! Last time you messed with feng shui we ended up in this house. Are you ready for a major change in your life?”

While my memory is fuzzy, I’m pretty sure I pumped a fist in the air and bellowed, “Yes! I want an agent!”

I headed out of the kitchen with my water eating rocks. The phone rang.

“See, that’s my agent right now,” I replied.

It wasn’t. Maybe I do have to remove those plants. Or at least finish reading the chapter on career corners.

  I’m afraid to see what feng shui says about my house – crowded & too full of people and stuff???
  
  I’m surprised it doesn’ reccommend plants everywhere – I find them soothing – and great sounding boards

  Now I’m concerned about my house, too. I can’t keep plants alive and the only water element is the ever churning washing machine.

  Jemi, I too thought plants were great chi makers. And I suppose they are, but in the ‘water corner’ they eat the water. So, I guess that’s bad. I think too full of people is good.
  
  I do like how my living room has changed. More plants, more space. More chi? I should see what this area is in my feng shui life. Something good, I hope.

  The northern most room is the career corner which is a water room. For me, that lands in the kitchen. There are drains in the kitchen. That concerns me. I think I need to read more. Or less. Definitely one of the two.
  
  I test my plants for compatibility. So far, spider plants seem to be the best at holding up to sporadic waterings.
