Letting Go Allows Miracles To Happen

We tend to hold onto things and people which no longer serve us. Fear keeps us attached, as well as that comfortable feeling of the familiar.

Some people hang onto other people for dear life, even though they treated them badly, because they do not feel they are good enough for anyone else. Some people hang onto material things, because to let it go would diminish their self-worth or comfort zone by some means.

This was a hard lesson that I had to learn and overcome myself.  Three years ago, I had my father’s house up for sale. It had been on the market for over a year and did not even attract one offer. Later, I realized that this had happened because I was not ready to let it go at the time. My energy was preventing anyone, who might have been interested, from going near the house to even look at it, let alone make an offer.

My attachment, through my thoughts, were holding on for dear life and not letting go. I didn’t like the house, in fact I hated what it represented. It was a burden to me, and my feelings of resentment, anger and loathing for the house kept it from selling. Like I said, a very hard lesson to learn.

On September 24, 2014 I went to visit the renters who were in the house. The people were a godsend to me. They moved in shortly after I took it off the market. For the first time in over 50 years, I was able to walk into this house and it felt like a home. It felt like love and suddenly I was at peace with the house.

I then also found a new real estate agent – a Reiki master and someone who was more aligned with my energy. Everything about the situation now just felt right. The timing was right. I was no longer attached to the house in a negative way and I wanted to see someone purchase it that had love in their hearts.

The realtor met me at the house, just to talk about the options of what I needed to do to update it, fix it, and possibly sell it in the future. She took pictures, and we both saw that truly nothing needed to be done in order to sell it. Yes, it was me that was blocking this!

In that moment, I realized it was time to sell it. I signed the papers after speaking to my renters, who had already been planning on moving to town in the near future.

The ‘For Sale’ sign went up on September 25th. On September 26th the house was sold… exactly one day from the time the sign was in the ground to the sale. Just one day!

When I brought my sales papers home (the original listing papers), I did some Reiki on the paperwork and said, “Thank you for the quick sale of this house at a good price.” My realtor and her husband also did Reiki on their copy of the paperwork.  Well, I received my quick sale and the price was only $1,000 less than I had listed it for.

From this I had one more issue, or so I thought in my human mind… not realizing again that Universe had my back. The condition on the sale was possession on October 31st. By law, through the Tenant Landlord Act, I was required to give my renters two months’ notice. This was only one month and it was an unbreakable condition.

I told my tenants the situation and told them that I would not put them out, however they told me to do what I needed and that we would work it out. That same day, they found an apartment with a November 1st occupation date. She emailed the landlady and was able to get permission to move in on October 29^th – two days prior to the possession date of the sold house.

Again, Universe said to me, “I’ve got your back. Don’t ever doubt it.”  And in response to what my former tenants needed, they ended up in a townhouse and are now managing the complex that they live in. They arrived into a monetarily excellent situation. Universe was taking care of them, as well as me.

I am sharing this with you to show you that manifesting your reality was my whole theme for 2014 and it has continued as each year has come and gone. This house had been such a burden for me for the 6 years prior to its sale – and to be truthful for my entire life, as I was born there and it was not a happy home.  However when I changed my thinking and detached from the negativity I had for this house, and looked at it as a loving home, it sold in a flash. The reality on my vision board was checked off.

Each one of us has something we wish to change in our lives.  We all have goals, dreams and intentions. Are you accomplishing them, or are you sliding by with “what if’s,” or “it’ll never happen,” or “that dream is impossibility.” Nothing is impossible if you put your focus on the good and with a loving heart. Letting go allows miracles to happen.
