I spent my life among atheists and have come to the conclusion that it is a life bereft of mystery and richness. Those Yoruba priestess did more to light my way than any atheist has ever done. Similarly, the Zen center and Buddha’s teaching has done more to explain my life than any rationalist text could ever provide. <\/p>\n
So today, when I woke early this morning feeling powerful from all the positive vibrations in my life, I got on my knees and thanked my ancestors who are my true guardian angels. There is no doubt my mom brought Tin into my life. And so I called on her and her mother as well as others to help me negotiate these major changes in my life.<\/p>\n
AND I asked for multiple offers on the LaLa. I’m not being greedy, I’ll never get the $500K I put into the house back, but I want maximum profit and so I said, yeah, that offer last night was good, but I want more offers. <\/p>\n
One of the priestesses said – be specific – and so I have. The lot – check. Multiple offers on the LaLa – check. Quick sale – check. Affordable apartment – check. Building my own spiritual home – less is more – check. The road ahead is lit by these spirits who have come to help me on my journey.<\/p>\n
Before the Open House began, while I was straightening up the house, offer number two came in. An emotional one – they said to tell the owner “we will be good stewards to your house” – I pray that the person who moves in, appreciates the seven years of my life I gave to creating that vision. <\/p>\n
Why believe anything else? I have seen what’s possible.<\/p>\n
I went to pick up Tin from his playdate and my friend said that she got her house by asking for it – someone spoke to her and she responded, I want to live on the bayou and done. She bought her house for $150K on the bayou years ago. Her prayers were answered. <\/p>\n
My challenge has been having the clarity to know what to ask for – now that those prayers have been answered – I am being very specific and the cosmos are listening. <\/p>\n
At the end of the day, atheism bores me, and lacks the richness of a world where ancestors who have passed, step in and help you along the journey. As my Yoruba priestess says, “I was all up in Jesus, but Jesus is sort of boring, give me Yemaya, Oshun, Eligua, and the pantheon of ancestors who hold you up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
