Single Mother and Debts

"The help came from familiar quarters but was totally unexpected. I never knew that the soft spoken man who was my boss was quietly in love with me. He had never expressed his emotions before but one day he opened up. " - Alice.

My last column about the debt-trap of Henry brought me a huge mail from people having the same problem, and I hope Feng Shui will help them all to tear the credit cards. But Henry is not the only one who Feng Shui helped. I received an e-mail from Alice that warmed my heart. Before I quote from the letter –I am tempted to reproduce the entire letter, a story in itself – here is it from the start. Alice, a single mother, was in a worse predicament than Henry when she wrote to me six months back. As Mabel, her cute 4-year-old daughter would go to sleep and she would switch off the lights. In the darkness, the stifling fears would crowd her. The ghosts of the past, when she fell madly in love with James only to learn a little later that he was a cheat, haunted her for hours before she could get a decent sleep. James was already married and despite glib promises, had no intention of divorcing his wife and two school going children. Alice was expecting. Partly because of her Catholic upbringing and also because her gynecologist spelt out the risks in the fourth month of pregnancy, she decided to have her baby.

"I am deeply in debts and have no support line. I have often thought of giving her up to the church orphanage and kill myself, or to start anew. But I don’t have the heart to abandon the little baby which I have brought into this harsh world.
I want love. I want support. I want love for myself, for my baby. And most important, I NEED money. PLEASE HELP ME." Alice wrote.

I gave her Feng Shui consultation.

My notes show that the family sector in her house was absent and she had placed refrigator and drinking water in Southwest. Worse, she had a large framed picture of a waterfall in her bedroom. The `water` is taboo in bedroom, had to go. I also suggested Double Happiness Symbol, Dragon and fish tank in the wealth sector. Seeing that she was not willing to acquire a fish tank I suggested that she places the framed waterfall, discarded from the bedroom, in the money corner.

And I forgot about her till today when I received this mail from her.

Hi Mr Mohan Deep,

I have been a regular reader of your column from the day I consulted you. The consultation was a gr8 success. I often thought of writing to you but the hectic activity - my career and love life - didn't give me enough time. I couldn't even invite you for my marriage though I do not think you would have come this far for a mere client.

The story of Henry's debts has prompted me to write to you.

When I consulted you I didn't give you all the gory details but James (my ex) was worse than Henry. He had borrowed money from every one. He had got me involved as a co-borrower though, legally, I wasn't his wife. After he left me literally `holding the baby`, his creditors started hounding me. It was a nightmare. The creditors were abusive and insulting. Some even went to the extent of humiliating me, suggesting that I `pay them in kind`. I prayed and prayed. I resorted to Feng Shui as a last resort. It was an expensive remedy that I could ill afford. I never told you but I borrowed money to pay for your consultation fee and buy Feng Shui products. I couldn't afford the original oil painting of the Dragon and helplessly settled for a print.

But God was with me.

Even the print did wonders. You had said that the Double Happiness symbol will attract love in my life and the Dragon will bring the backing that I need so badly. Since I couldn't afford to have a fish tank you asked me to move the waterfall painting from my bedroom to living room in the money sector.

I did all that and prayed.

The help came from familiar quarters but was totally unexpected. I never knew that the soft spoken man who was my boss was quietly in love with me. He had never expressed his emotions before but one day he opened up. I was crying as, in the morning that day, I had a tiff with the neighborhood girl who doubled as a baby sitter. I was worried about my baby. What if she took it out on my little one? Calvin, my boss, caught me crying. He was sympathetic. He escorted me to my house, had a cup of coffee and happily joined us for dinner. It was after dinner that he poured out his feelings for me. He was in love with me and was willing to accept me with my baby!

The impossible had happened.

I was to get married to a nice man able to look after us. Your dragon and Feng Shui had done the miracle. My prayers had been heard.
I am truly grateful to Feng Shui.

May you continue the good work. God Bless you.

Yours, with warm regards.

Alice, Calvin and Mabel
