MANILA, Philippines - So, every year we get feng shui forecast, how do you know if it’s working for you? Feng shui expert Marites Allen says, “If you update your feng shui every year correctly, you should see positive effects in your life. Note if there is any increase in assets or income to sustain a good life on a daily basis. Since doing feng shui, I noticed that my husband, children and myself have been healthy, which is my most important wish, anyway. Cash is there when we need it. I continue to be blessed with a happy and fulfilling family life. My husband has always been a good provider and all our four children are doing well in their studies in the UK and are growing to be very responsible and helpful around the house.
