Both my father and I believe in Feng Shui. I made some research and asked friends what would be our essential tools and deities for the year of the Ox. I actually got my charm bracelets and necklace last weekend. It is said that people born in the year of the rabbit are prone to being cheated and robbed so I got the recommended protective charms against it.
This is a Jade Ox that we placed near our main door to protect the whole family and household and to invite good wealth, health and fortune for everyone. We were given a big discount on this one because we bought a number of charms, bracelets and necklaces so they did not hesitate to give us a good discount on this one.
We believe in the power of Feng Shui but we don't entrust our whole lives to it. The Chinese also says that Feng Shui is there only as a guide. We still need to work hard and do what we can to ensure that our lives get better. As Papa always tells me, "Life is what you make it" and he is definitely right.
Two more days to go and we're off to 2009. Happy New Year!
