You're absolutely right there. In this case, it took LOTS of scrubbing and throwing out of things to get complete! (I was working with a coach who was quite encouraging of these activities!) colin, i'm not sure it's okay for you to use the word "energy." someone may have to come take you away! and yes, you're right there (if your worldview can open up to this), it really is a physical shifting of something in the room, and goes beyond metaphor. (though, it helps some people to think of it as metaphor so that they don't appear to be going too woo-woo.) hey joy! well, i got tired of using the word "cable." and "wire" didn't work. so, chord it was... though it's probably spelled "cord" isn't it? hmmm. i should go change that! my musician side took over, huh? :-D (we won't tell anyone.) hello authormomdognut!

hey joy! well, i got tired of using the word “cable.” and “wire” didn’t work. so, chord it was… though it’s probably spelled “cord” isn’t it? hmmm. i should go change that! my musician side took over, huh? :-D (we won’t tell anyone.)

"answering machine chords" conjures up a very cool audio-visual image for me. Thanks for that! :) Joy Hi Christine,

Be interesting to see if there's much difference in the way women "untangle" and men do so. Not important...just maybe interesting. (PS...guess I'm out of hiding for awhile. Maybe I'm getting untangled too!)

I find that, after cleaning, and feng shuing, washing down all surfaces (like you did with the cables) including desk tops, office equipment, walls, floors, etc., really helps free the room and sets it up for a fresh beginning.
