Beginning Shift from Big House to Little House

Moving from a traditional home to a little house requires one to move mentally into another brain space.

For me, this hasn’t been easy.  Now,  I recognize why the little house isn’t built.  My mental state has remained with the house I last lived in leaving me physically stuck in a limbo that was like driving in fog.

My new navigation system is clear thinking and focus for making money to pay debts and build the house.  Action steps follow clearly with urgency and excitement.  A bit of exhaustion has already settled with me.

The writing style for this blog changes now as I enter into a diary mode sharing each day.  The ultimate goal for this season of summer is to change the financial position I am in and have land and a little building to start the completion of home.

This time, I face a mountain, a mountain of debt, and  a mountain of ideas accumulated over years.  Ideas aren’t tangible.  I can’t live there.   What is it like to start over in the last season of life?  Am I alone?  No,  I have the love and support of family and some of my friends.  Others don’t understand.

Moving On.  Home is just around the bend.

My sprint is for 180 days!

This is the second Sunday.  It has been an Awesome day for me.  Most of the day has been quiet, just me and God.

I have tried to be still, not to talk much on the phone, to listen to what He has to say………..

Now, I am ready for sleep.  Tomorrow starts another day of the journey.

Today, I am halfway to no where.

May He Lead Me Beside the Still Waters.

Continuing from Sunday, I must say this past Sunday was the best in a long time.  Wonderful worship service near me and then my cousin came to visit and we went to the Chop house for a salad!  Love from a family member is great.

Yesterday was an intense work day and I don’t have my schedule in place. Moving forward this Friday I will go to the storage unit, move almost everything out and go through each box to see what is to sell, keep or discard.  Funny, because I have been purging for 2 years.

Moving to a little house requires one to really decide:

• What do I want to keep?
• What do I need to keep?

Today, I am mentally living in the little house and making a list of what is needed in each room.

Good morning readers!

This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I am glad and thankful for a place to live with my friend, while I get my thoughts in place and actions to follow.

This morning I will worship at the church near where I live.

Afternoon is reserved for a visit with my cousin.  It is amazing to live near family again.

Tune in tomorrow………….

Blessings,

Molinda

I fired the narrators who rented space in my head.  Now, I listen to a new story.

First, let me share that Granny Craig once told me, when I see trash I sweep it out the door.  Well, my narrators had a bunch of trash for thoughts.  Examples, were state what you want and the universe will provide.  Another group of friends (narrators) said let’s go out for dinner.  Here have a piece of pie.  Now, still another said  don’t eat at the cheap restaurants, you can afford the best,  charge it!

Result,  overweight, credit maxed out, the universe was created by God and it didn’t answer me, and my little house is in Disney world.  Disney world was in my head.  So,  narrators have been fired.

I am doing Dave Ramsey’s course for becoming debt free.

God is providing the opportunities for me to grasp to make the money to pay bills.

I am shopping for land instead of the Disney World in my head.

Will share land ad’s tomorrow.

Love ya readers…..

Home is where you hang your hat.  Home is where the heart is.  Home is  in the town where you work.  Home is near family.   Where the heck is home?

Life is easy in your spiritual realm when you are on top of the mountain.  When you fall to the valley, it’s confusing, foggy on the mountain, cold and lonely.  I am in the valley.  Unfortunately, that is where I have resided for the past year.  Days were clear and happy and my day dreams were awesome.  Then I woke up and they were only day dreams.

I am on a 180 day healing process.  I need healing from debt, a place to really live and call home, my position with God affirmed and I declare it to be now!

Are you in the valley of decision?  Stop digging a hole and lets build a stairway.

Next stop is from the New York Times showcasing a lady in Seattle Washington who made the most of her circumstance.

It is a charming love story, full of wit and good judgement.  The conversion cost 32,000.00

While building from scratch and purchasing land would have been more, it reflects how resourceful we can be if we analyze the situation and make present assets “pay” their dues!

Noticing the date you can confirm the idea of downsizing and living large in a little home is not new and people are enjoying this freedom.  Why not you?
