Manifesting Living Well, Living the Dream
Manifesting Living Well, Living the Dream
In about 1995 I was going down, overwhelmed by my debt. I felt that I was going to have to claim bankruptcy and I felt like a failure. I had sold my home where I had raised my son as a single mom.
I was given an opportunity to move into the carriage house of a home located in an expensive neighborhood. It was just the break I prayed and asked for. Part of my rent agreement was that would work there as a manager of the property. I had never done anything like that before but felt I would be able to succeed. I lived and worked there for 4 years, taking care of the rentals on site. The house was for sale so another part of my duties was to keep the grounds in a pristine condition and ready to sell. I also worked as a floral designer during those days and did telemarketing at night. I was working very hard but the good news was I didn’t have to file bankruptcy.
After four years there, I was overwhelmed with so much work to do. I was fortunate to have landed a good place to live and the time to get back on my feet but I had a real desire for peace and quiet.
That was a really strong intention I was putting out so I wasn’t surprised at all when the owner told me I needed to move out that very day. Her house had been on the market for some time and she felt I was keeping the home from selling. It was quite a jolt but fortunately, I had very little in the way of belongings.
I called a mover and was out of there and at my new digs in St Petersburg beach, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico by noon. What great news and it all went so incredibly smoothly!
It was like a switch was turned on when I was shown out of my former home. I had known about this St. Petersburg place overlooking the gulf. I had a dear friend that had rented that condo and recently moved into a retirement community. The condo owner didn’t have the vision to see the potential of the space – it was really being used for storage. I called the owner and asked if I could rent it for what I could afford and store the owners belongings in the second bedroom. She agreed and it was exactly what I needed. It felt like a gift from God because it was exactly what I had asked for.
Two big things I learned from this. Never put anyone on a pedestal, they may not be looking out for you. Second, I am worthy to receive what I desire.
I was able to live on that beach for 13 years. I walked the beach, saw the sunsets, dolphins and full moons. Every night I listened to the sounds of the waves before I slept. It was such a wonderful gift, the perfect healing for me.
I am now semi-retired, working 30 hours a week. From 4-9 pm, I am helping people with delinquent student loans arrange and manage their debt. It is a free service. I have the early part of day to meditate, study, prepare healthy meals and connect with friends. I just love it.
My current dream is to travel in an RV with my soul mate and visit nature’s beautiful places. It is my prayer and it’s also what I work on when I am doing my manifesting exercises. It will surely happen, God willing.
Sending this story to you was a very healing process and it gave me an opportunity to review how blessed and grateful I am. It also prompted me to recall a forgotten and important memory. It took place in the carriage house.
I had been meditating every day with a lovely rose-colored 6” pillar candle. I would focus on the light from the candle and clear my thoughts. Well, one night I was looking at the candle and saw that the light was about half-way down inside the candle. I noticed there was a face sculpted in the candle and the light was shinning through it.
I have a hard time believing this even now. I looked closer and discovered the glowing face was mine!! I enjoyed meditating with that candle for many days. I have it still as just a puddle of wax now. I just can’t seem to throw it away.
I got the message that I am a light to others. I love this story because I needed that comforting embrace at the time. I haven’t shared the story with anyone until now. I had forgotten all about it until I began to write this manifesting story. I am happy to have this memory back and it will live in my heart.
By asking, she got out of a crisis and when she discovered her worthiness, she created more.
For many years, Juanita Christy has been teaching and coaching, specializing in emotional freedom technique (EFT) and the law of attraction at the First Unity Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. After purchasing the Manifesting 123 book, she wanted to share her personal story with us.
When times were tough, Juanita asked for and manifested a comfortable home at a price she could afford. Calm and quiet was not an option at the earlier carriage house, but it was the perfect place for her to be at the time. Living at the carriage house required a lot from her mentally and physically. After a few years she developed a very strong desire for less pressure and peace,
Here is something that happens often. She wasn’t completely happy living and working at the first place but it worked to her budget and she needed the security. Later, her strong intention was for something better and calmer. Perhaps when the time was right, she was forced out of the carriage house. The house was limiting her personal time and it came with a way of living that didn’t bring her happiness.
Once she was free of the house and the security it offered, the limits fell away and a remarkable possibility appeared. She remembered that condo with a view of the ocean. That condo immediately came to mind as if it was part of the plan. The timing was perfect and the price was exactly what she wanted it to be. For 13 years she lived happily in an idyllic location.
It didn’t matter that she didn’t have a lot of money to spend on housing. At the first location she lived in a very exclusive neighborhood with all the amenities a wealthy neighborhood has to offer. Later she realized she was deserving of a better home and a more peaceful life. I like the ocean view upgrade very much!
I hope you will follow Juanita’s empowering example. You are so very worthy. There is no reason to put limits on yourself.
