Success Story #1
Dear Karen, I have been meaning to write this for a long time! I had been in an abusive relationship, and got scared off from trying again for over 10 years. Now that my one child is grown and moved out, I decided to feng shui my home. I realized that the relationships corner of my house was actually missing, so I decided to put up a reproduction of a painting, called “The Storm,” by Pierre Auguste Cot, in the corner where the missing section should be. I chose that picture because it seemed to portray the qualities I wanted in a relationship. I then proceeded to treat relationships corner of that same room as well, with pretty red flowers, and a lot of beloved art objects. Well, after a month, I met an awesome guy. We are now dating, and I am so happy, at the age of 50, to rediscover love!

Success Story #2

I have two female nude pictures (I woman in each picture) on my wall in my very small bedroom. I live alone and I am in a new-ish relationship, about 5 months. I took the pictures down for a while during the time I was working on my bedroom (fame and rep) and we started doing very well. I put them back up and he was sent to work out of town for 4-6 months 7 hours away from here. We are still doing well, but he is far away and I will only see him about once a month on a weekend. I just want to know if I need to get rid of the pictures or is there something I can do to them and keep them? I paid a decent amount of money and they are pretty, but I want the relationship more.

Well, I think you answered your own question here, but let me explain a few things. When someone isn’t sure about my cure or the change I think they should make I usually say, “Try it for three months. If you don’t see anything change by then, then that item placed there doesn’t appear to be the problem.” Well, you already did the experiment!
If it makes you feel any better about getting rid of them, I can tell you that I ALWAYS get good relationship results when the single gals in art go. And I’ve even tossed single dudes in the bachelor pads and it has worked for them as well. I had one gal, who’s home was filled to the brim with single boats painted by her dad (very sentimental). Well, it was the first time I ever ran into that situation but, you know how boats always have girl’s names? I thought, these may be her “single gals!” So we experimented and took them all down and out o the house for three months. And let me tell you, she is my quintessential “married rich” rags-to-riches story. It was really like a storybook…
It sounds like your intentions got you this far, I’d replace the singles with couples (although I’d prefer no people in the bedroom – try flower couples or other patterns in nature versus animals or people with eyes) and watch him return. Keep me in the loop when it happens too!

Success Story #3
Karen: I bought your book and just started on a few things. The first was my relationship corner. I am divorce and am ready to start dating. As I was cleaning my laundry room out I found a fire extinguisher. I moved it out put up some red paper and ribbon. Put some pink towels on my washer and dryer, sprayed some lavender and waited. I e-mailed an old friend that I haven’t seen since 1995. He said he had been thinking about me so much the last 2 days. We are meeting in January and who knows from there. I have laughed many times about the extinguisher in my romance corner. Maybe that was why I got divorced!! I enjoy your book a lot. Keep up the good work! Patsy St. Jeor
