Leaving your dream home is a really hard thing to do. Especially when you have very limited funds for buying the next one. We have cashed out our retirement fund so that we will have a place to live. If we can snag a bank owned home it will be a real accomplishment. The investors are on them like flies, but it is what we can afford, so we press on. It is a full time job for two people. We talk to realtors, we look at houses on line, we trek from town to town trying to find a house in our price range that we can fit all of our stuff of 25 years into.
I have visions of my new home that I am hunting for. I pray as I am going to sleep to be guided to the right one. I had prayed recently at St. Michael's Shrine with my hand on a cross above an altar. That cross was the 1st thing I saw as I prayed, then I saw white floor tile with a pattern on it, oranges, and finally 2 cute mice. When I told my husband he said "great, our new home has a mouse problem." That house sold before we could get our bid in on it. It had patterned tile in the kitchen and orange trees in the back yard. The next night I saw white floor tile and arched doorways. The next morning we saw a house online that fit the description, just out of our price range, or so it seems.
"Follow your heart" the intuitve told me during a recent reading when I showed her a picture of a house that was a good buy, but we felt nothing for it. "Don't try and force it" she said. "If you can feel home and peace within you, you have a better chance of being guided to the right place." That just might work if I can keep stress and anxiety at bay. She also said that we would find our house in 2 to 4 weeks and it would be north of where we live now.
I had another intuitive reading months ago when the intuitive told me that we would find a house with a wooded drive and that we would know it when we saw it. I also had another intuitive online tell me to live where ever we choose as long as it is near water.
As we are making these decisions, our 22 year old daughter is planning her move back home after being gone for a year. A whirlwind of change is guiding our lives and I am trying to go with the flow. It is too painful to fight it. I tried. I can only believe that we are being led to a new life, a good place where we can reunite as a family once again, settle in and grow our lives. I am excited about the future...and it will come, but right now the roulette wheel is spinning and I'm ready to land.
