Now integrated into American society as a yearly cultural folk event, ‘Sadie Hawkins Day’ is a faux holiday that sprung from the mind of cartoonist Al Capp and his classic ‘Lil Abner’ comic strip. This strip then inspired real world ‘Sadie Hawkins’ dances, where the girls ask the boys to be their partners or dates. Since we’re celebrating some Sadie style chutzpah today, let me share some secret Shui that promises to engage that one special boy who might just decide to do the same to you. Today we’re talking peonies. According to this philosophy, the peony is considered the king of flowers while holding energies that can make you the queen of anyone’s heart. This bloom is said to be an excellent energizer when used for creating true and lasting romance. The peony is also often referred to as the Mou Tan flower and is the principal floral symbol for love and marriage in many Eastern cultures. Feng Shui says that you should display an image (or the real deal) of two pink peonies outside and to the left of the bedroom door of anyone interested in bringing marriage luck to their lives. Younger and unmarried women can display this image in the actual bedroom itself and should position the peonies anywhere inside the Relationships/Romance area for the biggest benefit and blessings. Older women or couples should only display peonies in the Romance area of the main floor, as it is said that putting the peony in the bedroom could result in the husband or partner finding fulfillment with a younger paramour. Put a peony in the proper place today and then go ahead and ask away. The next time you hear the word Sadie it might be like this: ‘Sadie, Sadie, married lady!’ Just sayin’!
