My Journey of Prosperity

Opportunities to walk our truth come in many ways.
All of us, at some point in our lives, experience something that triggers the opportunity for us to discover who we really are. We may not always jump on the first opportunity and so they continue to come. But the minute we really start questioning things, it instantly opens up the universe. It was when I lost my mother in 1998 that I realized a shift in my life had to happen. Even though I had an unique out of body mystical experience at 24, it was my unusual spiritual encounter with an angel just a few days before my mother crossed over that intrigued me to seek out the world of spirit and to become a Reiki Master Teacher.
I truly believe ALL therapies are a form of energy work and the key is not the modalities itself, but learning to step into your own power and reconnect to the true essence of who you really are. When we learn to stay in the flow of higher frequency energy, it gets easier to speak our truth, walk our truth and live our truth. Through this awareness I was able to manifest my dream and passion of owing a healing centre. But first, I needed to work on my past beliefs and reconstruct my thoughts to resonate with my desires, not letting outside influences affect me. I also had to realize that these challenges where some of the greatest gifts in my spiritual growth and I am truly grateful for every step that I had to take to get here.
A few years back I started to talk about how I would like to own my own healing centre. I began to talk about it quite frequently to my friends. Then I realized I needed to change the vibration of the energy on these thoughts from "I would like to" to "I now have a healing home." And it's not just about the words - it's also about believing and feeling it, and knowing in my heart it would happen. I also discovered that I had to surrender to the how and when to create this new energy into my life. I began to have dreams and visions of this house and then I realized one day this particular old house of my dreams was located right here in my community, in downtown Fort Saskatchewan
I drove downtown and parked in front of the house and said: "That`s my house, the future home for healing!" I continued to say this every time I drove by it, even when there was someone with me in my vehicle. They would say to me: "When did you buy it?" or "Is it for sale? How are you going to afford that?" I would just reply: "No, it's not for sale. I haven't actually purchased it yet. I`m not even sure at this moment who owns it, but it`s going to be my healing home." Well! You can well imagine some of the reactions I got! Yes, these were some of my challenges, not excluding my own internal stuff as well. But when I went inside myself, into the centre of my heart and stayed grounded, I was able to connect to my highest infinite source of unconditional love energy, allowing me to surrender any attachments. It was then revealed very clearly to me as to the steps I needed to take in purchasing this house.
I did a land title search, but the owners were not local and no phone number was available. Then one day, one of my friends (that I had told about my house) told me there was a "For Rent" sign with a cell number on the lawn. I quickly got the number, called and explained what I wanted to do. I didn`t expect a call back too soon, since I'd heard they had turned down other prospective buyers. Yet to my surprise I got a call two days later to come and talk. And from that moment on, everything just started to fall into place, into perfect divine timing. Again, it reminded me how important it is to live in the moment, be in the now and one of my favorite sayings is: Let go and let God. All of the events that then took place were stepping stones for me to work on my intentions, trust, faith, surrendering, walking, speaking my truth and following my dreams. After purchasing the house I was extremely excited and so filled with gratitude. Then my existing renters gave me notice and my human side (ego) instantly put up another "For Rent" sign. I didn`t really want to do this, yet I knew new renters would help pay the mortgage.
Shortly after someone came to see me for a treatment (at the location where I was renting business space) and said: "Your space has beautiful energy, but it wants to expand." I replied: "Funny you should say that because I just bought a house and was planning on expanding." She answered: "What are you waiting for?" and in that moment I knew what I had to do! I had to let go and let God. I pulled the For Rent sign out of the lawn and gave notice to my existing business location.
I put my complete trust and faith in the universe (creator) for the guidance I would need to take the next steps. I had already decided that I would renovate the upstairs and get myself (and whomever was suppose to join me) into the main floor by August 1st. On June 29th I woke up in the middle of the night and clearly received a message that I would still rent out the basement suite and with my sense of humor I asked: "Could you please send me a handyman as this place needs a lot of work!"
The very next day I got a call and guess what? Two of my new renters were carpenters! As I started to work on the renovations I realized I was a bit tapped out financially. I chose not to panic and in my thoughts I just said: "I sure could use a few thousand dollars just to get this going." Still I felt this reassurance in my heart that I was doing exactly what I was suppose to be doing and that everything would work out.
Again that same day, I got a call from my realtor and she apologized to me, saying there was an error in the final paperwork and she had a $2000 cheque to drop off to me that day. Wow! This just kept getting better! Then I was looking at the washer and dryer in this house and knew they would need to be replaced soon. Within a few days, I got a call from my daughter who knew someone giving away a washer/dryer (in good working order) for free. I just needed to pick them up. My gratitude level was just soaring! Thankfully my husband helped me with the renovations and it couldn't have been completed by my deadline date without him. His expertise was instrumental and the renovation/transition went smoothly for the most part. And the end result? Well, you'll just have to come see for yourself. This healing home has so much unconditional love energy flowing through it and around it, it's impossible not to feel it the moment you walk up these steps. It was a pure labor of love. My intention was to create an environment where people could come for healing and feel a sense of calmness and peace both around them and within themselves.
This whole experience was an excellent opportunity for me to evolve mentally, emotionally and spiritually and I hope it has inspired you. This wisdom (that lies within us all) comes when we choose to stay on our paths with faith, trust, compassion, love and understanding, not allowing outer influences to deter us from what we feel is our purpose. Then we can accomplish whatever it is that we desire.
I couldn't agree more with Michael Bernard Beckwith's definition of surrender: "Trusting in each step of the dance, we must each walk in the direction of our unique romance with the infinite" and of course most importantly: "Each of us receives this guidance in the language of our own heart."
Blessings, Donna
