A great person once told me: “The wood after being worked becomes useful”.
The word pronounced Shùmù in chinese is for “tree”, or if separated Shù mù , “plant a tree”. If we go back in time, more definitions appear, all related with this life element that is the tree that becomes wood, that becomes fire, a piece of furniture, a door, a window, a tool, a boat and even a home.
When beginning to study more about Feng Shui and its 5 elements of transformation (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood), I discovered that my date of birth has a 3 digits code that tells so much about myself: each of them means a specific element and my first number, also called as the essence number, is 4, which is a tree element. Suddenly, I began realizing that this made all sense to me, having a better knowledge of myself, with no judgements just characteristics, as well as with others around, helping me assume the way I like to live my life and who I like to be.
So the name became a symbol of what I truly believe in for achieve a more beautiful life in this Earth, planting ideas for better homes and businesses through Feng Shui and Sustainability.
