I'm fairly certain that this was the week, a year ago, that the Universe shifted. Big time. It came after we ignored the shimmy shakes from the Universe in the months prior. It came in the form of 2 confrontations that quickly escalated to obnoxious and unnecessary. In both instances, within the same week, a mother allowed her young adult daughter to yell and swear at both Lisa and me.
After the second incident, Lisa and I realized a few things...
Nothing was going to change.
Like mother, like daughter.
We didn't want to be in the same situation we were faced with back in late 2014.
After the second confrontation, when all was said and done, Lisa approached where I was sitting and said, "After the holidays, we're buying a house and getting the f-bomb out of here."
I knew Lisa meant it with every ounce of her being.
That's exactly what happened.
In the first week of January, we got approved for a house loan.
On January 12th, we toured the perfect house for us and our family.
We made an offer.
The sellers accepted.
On February 19th, we closed.
On February 22nd, we moved.
For the longest time, I was still bitter about those 2 confrontations.
But.
Eventually, I got over it because it wasn't about those 2 confrontations.
The Universe had doled out quite a few shimmy shakes in the months prior.
We didn't exactly ignore them, but we didn't exactly take action to remove our family from the situation. We had lived in our old neighborhood for almost 8 years. We loved it there.
But.
After we started speaking up and out about stuff that was happening that should not have been happening, things changed.
That's fine.
Over 2 months ago, I let go of it all.
My perspective changed.
I was no longer bitter about those 2 confrontations.
I was actually grateful.
You can read about that here.
Since then, I feel lighter.
As I sit here writing this, I honestly feel no bitterness or disgust at what was allowed to happen.
I'm grateful to the Universe.
For those shimmy shakes and the eventual big shift to open our eyes.
We are living our best life.
In peace and quiet.
Humble.
Thankful.
Spreading kindness and love to those around us.
