Oneness Story

I'm done with James Twyman's Oneness project. For the second time. I must be honest, though. This time I didn't really complete it. My friend, Tammy, says once you've started it the alchemy continues especially if you are around other who are doing it. Our friend, Penny, texted the affirmations to a group of us every day so I suppose that kept me thinking about it even though I didn't read to the end.

Why am I telling you this?

I do believe the alchemy has been working and I have a story to show it.

About a month ago I started teaching for Drama Kids. This past Friday was a happy hour and Saturday was an annual training for the spring performances. One of the teachers is a Kindergarten teacher I'll call Joy. She's a fun, wacky kind of person and I really like her although I've seen her all of 3 times.

At one point during the day her phone kept ringing and she snuck off to take the call real quick. I overheard her say the name of the street where my house for sale is. I turned to the other teachers and said "I'll bet she's going to go look at my house today." Now, I don't know anything about Joy's situation, whether she's looking for a house, going to see a friend, lives on that street. Nothing. Why would I assume that? (Oneness)

When she walked back over I asked what the address on the house was. Thinking there was something wrong with the house, she asked why. Just tell me. Why? Would it be blah blah blah? Shut up! Why? That's my house. She all but fell out on the floor as the excitement and awe grew. How could this be? We just met and this serendipity of her looking for a house and finding MY house to see.

But wait, there's more.

She went to see the house that afternoon on the strong advice of her agent. It turns out she had been looking for a while and was very picky. She'd already passed on over 30 houses so she was hopeful. I got a call late afternoon during an open house for my music studio. I asked what she thought and she was low key on the phone. All of a sudden she shouted "I LOVED IT!!" and the excitement continued. I love the house, I love Toni.... wait a minute. Toni is my agent. Why was she there? How do you know Toni? You'll never believe this, she said. My agent works with your agent and you know him. Who is it? Dan. Dan? Yep. Dan, who helped my mom buy her two houses and is a good friend of mine. So it was Dan who told her my house was perfect for her (which it is!) and she is putting in a contract on Tuesday.

Then Joy dropped the ball. I have a question, she said.

This is a short sale and could take a while to get the process completed. We are hoping to record before summer. But you might remember me saying we are renting a house in foreclosure and we have to be out in two weeks. Would you be willing to rent your house to us until the deal is recorded? OF COURSE!!

Dan is already drawing up the papers for a rent agreement.

This more than handles my BIG question to the Universe about making sure I stay in integrity with my mom who owns my house. I owe her rent starting March 1 and had no idea how I would make that happen. I am working. Hard. A lot. Doing lots of things. I am moving in such a positive direction and yet... I've been looking for a roommate since I moved here with ads on CraigsList (not so successful) and Roommates.com (also not so successful, although better people) AND an ad in the church newsletter. I have been keeping the faith, certain that I would figure it out, that a solution would come.

Guess what. Here's the solution.

Epilogue.

I got off the phone with Joy and shared the good news with my music studio "family." Mouths stood open as we shared the wonderment of so many things lining up at once. Then I got another call. This one from a potential student who can't wait to start her daughter in piano lessons on Wednesday.

Life is good.
