Opening doors
So, I'm not by any means excited about the prospect of selling the house, but in the last few days, I've been trying to see all the choice I do have and look at things in a new light. I've been thinking about the freedom I feel when thinking about having enough money not to struggle when setting up my own practice. I've been thinking about doing family constellation training and Gottman's (very expensive) certification for couples counseling. I've also been thinking about kung fu and yoga and really being free to follow wherever my heart leads me.
I'm also trying to come to terms with the fact that something better may come. Because I have a hard time believing things I can't see, this is where I get a little stuck. And then I think about how I would be as a counselor with someone in my same situation. The things I'd say! How easy it is for me to do that for my clients. Why is it so much harder to employ solution focused and similar strategies in my own life?
I checked my horoscope this morning just to see what it would say:
Though Wales is at the same latitude as Siberia, it's free of frigid tundra. Still, its climate isn't exactly balmy. Cool, cloudy, damp days are common. That's why Welsh horticulturalists cheered with shocked exultation last summer, when three outdoor banana plants produced fruit at the National Botanical Garden. It was an unprecedented miracle. I predict a comparable development for you, Cancerian. A source that has never been more than lukewarm will get downright tropical. An influence that has been inhospitable to your passion will become fertile and welcoming. As a result, you will bloom in a way you never have before.
Funny, no?
We have not seen the offer yet, but I'm thinking that because the house is not listed yet, they would at least make a full offer, maybe more.
My friend Zia--who says she doesn't really believe in fate--commented that other houses are just sitting and isn't it strange that someone is so interested in buying the house, before we even decide to list it? Maybe it is a sign.
I'm listening...

Elizabeth - you're sharing a very familiar struggle. And sharing it so eloquently. How does one move forward when the way is not clear? I've struggled, too, with the house question. Is releasing it the key to the next step? I don't know, but I do appreciate your soul-searching thoughts on it.
Keep listening. Your inner guidance is there. Hopefully mine too ;-)
You have so much on your plate right now - but you just have to love that horoscope!!!
This is a leap of faith - in yourself!
Lots of love and light from my heart to yours -
Jen
Diane and Jen,
Thank you so much for the comments. I've been thinking a lot about the question of releasing the house as a key to the next step. The couple came back today to look at the house again. I'm praying that I will make the right decision.
Thanks again, Elizabeth
