Manifesting a Feng Shui Living Room - Doh!

You know the saying, "Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it!"? Well, I got it ... unfortunately!

I've been reading and learning about Feng Shui recently (Ken Lauher explains it in easy-to-understand terms) and found that manifesting things you want is part of the overall philosophy, process, knowledge - whatever you call it. (I'm still learning.) One thing I've been thinking about is a water fountain for our living room. This water element is to maintain a positive energy for health and family.

Well, I guess I should have been more specific what type of fountain I wanted. Yesterday one arrived, courtesy of a phenomenon called Ice Damming. The melting ice backed up from the not-yet-thawed ice on our roof. The water had nowhere to go except backwards, going under the shingles. Then under the lining, then into the attic, then onto our ceiling and finally, unfortunately, into the living room.

So, a word to the wise ... be careful what you ask for and be specific! (I wonder what Feng Shui element will help me get a new ceiling.)
