I had started to apply to Lightworkers some time back....I think when I was still in school. But confronted with the application, felt overwhelmed and overtired and didn't. I lost the link back when my hard drive died.

Guess it's the perfect time for their site to find its way to me


It dawned on me this morning that I actually initiated the contact with my sister. It is quite true, of course, that all we have to do is think about people or things.

I had been looking at my options, back even before everything blew up at work, and one of them was to get a job close to my sister and move in temporarily. This was something she had offered back when I was in school. I still have the search list for MLT jobs in her state, from about 2 weeks ago. Then came the crappy word at work 10 days ago. And then days after that I felt her thinking about me, with her anger energy fritzing around the perimeter of my aura. I avoided her phone calls because I could feel her anger energy; instead I spent some time on craigslist looking at the cheapest properties I could find in my own state, and discovered that if I can just sell this place I can still downsize and restructure. I decided I'd better just get the call over with.

Heh! I advertised my place on craigs list yesterday late afternoon. I got my first response last night. Believe it or not, I'm *hoping* to attract a "flipper," but the slow type. The absolutely nicest and most decent contact I'd had on my home last year was from a slow flipper. He was straight-shooting honest. He lives in the houses as he fixes them up, and then re-sells and buys a new place. He needed to sell the place where he was living before he could buy again, and the last thing he told me was that if he got any calls on his place that fit mine, he would forward them on. It was the kind of thing that I would do and have told people. We were both in the same trap...and we knew it.

I know from direct, personal, hands-on experience that, as much as some people in DU despise "flippers," slow flippers provide a real and valuable service. It is hard, hard work and it costs a lot to do anything more than the most cosmetic repairs. They are earning any income.

So I advertised at my higher price, but that I fell behind on maintenance while in school, so am very negotiable while I start tackling the projects. The sooner you buy, the more negotiable I am. I got my first contact on my house last night. It may be a flipper, but they are looking for either land contract or owner financing. I'm not keen on it, but it may be my only way forward at this point. If the banks won't loan, then we have to loan to each other...
