Because I had been reading a book, The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn, and the place felt right, I thought, what the heck, I’ll put in an application and see what happens. The worst he can do is say no. The owner wasn’t too impressed with my credit but he took a chance on me, allowed me to pay the deposit in installments and allowed me to pay rent every two weeks when I get paid instead of once a month. So in August I moved into an empty house. I struggled to pay the rent for the first couple of months but I always had what I needed when I needed it. I thought I can buy furniture in the future but at least I have a roof over my head. One day my friend and I found a couch that had been put out for trash. Except for a couple of rips in the seat cushion (covered up nicely with a sheet) it was in very good shape. Worked perfectly for sitting on and sleeping on. Then one day a co-worker was clearing out her house and I had cups to drink out of, a coffee maker, sheets, books, etc. Then my friend went to visit his family for a couple of months. Turns out his Dad was selling his house and had to consolidate. So, one day my friend and his dad pulled up with a U-Haul truck filled with furniture, a computer, a day bed, a TV. Suddenly I’m living in a furnished house. I didn’t need money to buy all those things. The Universe brought it all to me. As for bills, the money is always there when I need it. I even have a little extra to buy myself a new pair of shoes. Here’s an extra bonus that I just recently realized. I’m looking into getting training to become a Personal Life Coach. The house is set up perfectly for me to have a business where I can bring clients here and have a separate area away from my living space to meet with them. Duh, does the Universe know what it’s doing? I’m thinking yes.
