We Want to Buy a House

Although Lynette owned a house during her first marriage, I've never owned one. I was a single mom and a widow at 18 years of age, and life continued to hit me pretty hard after that. I struggled to provide for my son and I during my working years, but I could never get ahead enough to take part in that slice of the American Dream. We've been together 15 years now and are ready to go "home" instead of continuing to lease.

Since about 1973 I've imagined  a house. Nothing conspicuous or expensive, just one like in the picture. I drew blue prints of it, and, in my imaginings, it was situated overlooking a lake. Big Bear? Evergreen? Now, Tenkiller? My life there would be peaceful (at last), creative (as always), and secure. Now that I'm in my 60s, I crave the latter, especially, because I have no idea how I'm going to provide for my autistic son when I'm gone. My greatest fear is that he will wind up homeless, which would quite literally kill him. And kill me twice.

When I first walked into the living room of this house and looked out the windows, it was as if I'd been there many times. That room, that view... nothing was new to me; everything was oddly familiar, almost as if we already owned it and were remembering when we saw it for the first time. It was eerie, but in a beautiful, contented way.

The house in the pictures is for sale. It's not expensive, just in the mid-$100Ks. A far cry from an apartment in Vienna, a manor house in England, or ANY house in California. It's not grand. It needs some cosmetic work. It's the house that calls to us. It wants us as badly as we want it. Lynette and I want this house more than anything because it represents the lifestyle we envision for ourselves as we move on into our Golden Years, as well as something to leave my son when we're gone.

The house is FSBO (For Sale By Owner), and he is in no rush to sell it, but if we can't make an offer this year, someone else will probably get it. The problem is, we have no savings, no credit, and a limited income. What we do have is an immaculate leasing history and great references from two landlords.

Impossible, you say? I don't believe in impossible. I believe we are limitless beings who create our own realities, and, in our hearts, this house is our future reality. I'm just putting this page out there in order to send out the energy. Who sees it, sees it. Who doesn't, doesn't. There are many more people out there with more "impossible" dreams! This is do-able. This is practical. Humble, even, considering how many people want mansions, or private islands.

We're working on ideas on how to buy this house of our dreams. There are a couple of options, but we need help. Help from whoever can help: spirit guides, angels, departed loved ones, whatever you want to call them. The Universe itself! If we could manifest a healthy down payment, there's a good chance the owner night work out a lease-to-own deal. We're not averse to working for this house; I'll do whatever it takes, work as hard as I can, give back more than is required of me. If you've manifested a seemingly "impossible" dream, and you have any advice to impart, please leave a comment or email me using the Contact link in the menu bar.
