A Message from FSIM President, Deborah Miller
The world is facing an issue of enormous scale and human impact caused by the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Our FSIM Board of Directors has been monitoring the situation and following guidance from public health officials, including the Centers for Disease Control so that we can make the best decisions concerning the upcoming FSIM scheduled events.
Because of these suggested guidelines, we have decided to postpone our "Heal the Healers" meeting until a later date (TBD). Catherine Duncan, our scheduled April speaker, has graciously offered to speak to us instead of tools that we can use to relax and feel calm during this global crisis. This April 7th meeting will be held via Zoom rather than in person. See more details below in this newsletter.
We will stay in communication with you as developments unfold by posting updates on our FSIM Facebook page, in the FSIM Newsletter, and on the FSIM website. FSIM wishes to support our Feng Shui community in the best way possible by staying connected and safeguarding the health of our members, family, and friends.
Sending you all Love and Light!
Deborah Miller

"Balance and Ease in a Time of Uncertainty" ~ Rev. Catherine Duncan, MA, BCC
Integrative Spiritual Consultant
Tuesday, April 7, 2020 FSIM April 2020 Quarterly Meeting
7:00 PM - Meeting with speaker, Catherine Duncan
Balance and Ease in a Time of Uncertainty
We are living today in a time of uncertainty because of Covid-19. Just turn on the news and you will get a blast of fear, and uncertainty.
How do you lessen the fear and panic that is encircling all of us and bring peace into your life?
By practicing coming back into your body and your breath, in just this moment, you consciously take a step away from panic and fear. You are preventing fear and anxiety from running your life. You are becoming the master of your mind.
April 7 - Join our zoom call and learn how to become the master of your mind. Learn about the power of presence through breath, meditation, body movement, tapping, and self-soothing that will bring peace into your daily life.
Integrative Spiritual Consultant, Catherine Duncan, MA, BCC, Learning To Live LLC, will lead us in several experiential exercises to open your mind, body, and spirit and bring you into peace and equanimity.

Communications Coordinator Position
It is with sadness that we announce that Victoria Kaupp-Barkhoff will be leaving the FSIM Board as Communications Coordinator at the end of her term; she has been named President of the Caring for Cats organization, which will be a huge commitment, and knew she had to let something go.
We thank Victoria for the dedication she has given to sending out our FSIM monthly newsletters and event emails, as well as the rest of her contributions to our organization over the past two years. You will be missed, but we do look forward to seeing you at FSIM meetings! That leaves the Communications Coordinator position open, so if you are interested in learning more about the position and being a member on the FSIM Board of Directors, please contact Debbie Miller, Michelle Skally Doilney or Ellen Johnson; we'd be happy to talk to you! Our contact information can be found on the FSIM Practitioners page.
A Note from Victoria
I would like to thank the FSIM Board the wonderful opportunity to serve. This is an exceptional group of women!
I want to thank all of content contributors for the wonderful articles! Keep them coming.
I also want to thank my Constant Contact teachers, Elaine Anderson and the ultimate teacher Cheryl Larson, who has not only taught me but also stepped in when needed. I thank you, both!
As with many of you, I started my FSIM journey as a student of Carole Hyder and the Wind and Water School of Feng Shui. If you would have told me 12 years ago I'd be in this place, I wouldn't have believed it. I am still a student and always learning.
I am honored to be associated with and be a part of FSIM.
Thank you! Victoria Kaupp-Barkhoff |
