Feng Shui changed Manteca woman’s life

Fifteen years ago Linda Kay read an article in a magazine that changed her life.

If you feel stuck in your day-to-day, the article read then try moving 27 things around inside of your home or your apartment. It seemed like a completely far-flung concept, and something that Kay, a longtime marketing consultant, wouldnt ever have given a second thought.

But nobody was home, and therefore nobody would ever know whether she gave this crude attempt at Feng Shui a chance. So she followed the advice, made the shuffle, and went on about her business without paying it a second thought.

The next day while she was at work, she got around to calling two phone numbers that had been sitting on her desk for months leads that she had previously been too intimidated to actually follow-up on. It wasnt until after she got off the phone that she realized she had done something significant. She made the link to what she had done the day before.

So after work she went out, found a book that outlined the principals of the 5,000-year-old practice in Western-world terms and set out down a path that would forever change her world.

The article said that doing so would change the energy, and I thought that was kind of silly, she said. It wasnt until I made those phone calls and I was hanging up that I realized what happened and I thought to myself, There might be something to this.

It was totally effortless, and thats what really caught me off-guard about the entire process. I found a book that explained things in a way that made sense to me and that got me started down the path. Its been an amazing journey.

The author of said book, Terah Kathryn Collins, ended up having a school in Southern California that outlined the principals of Feng Shui. Kay immediately jumped at the chance to learn more about her newfangled interest never even considering that she would pursue it beyond the classroom.

But it took her only two classes before she realized that she had to share what she was learning with the outside world. When she finished up her studies she embarked on what would become a long and successful career as a consultant for home and business owners looking to align their chi in a way that would serve them best.

She also ended up writing her own book on Feng Shui. Kay is one of nearly four dozen authors who will appear at the second annual Great Valley Bookfest on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley, the 120 Bypass and Union Road.
