Wendy, It never fails that when a person is in the middle of a big project or has a mess laying around, someone wants to come over. I'm sure your home is beautiful, exceptionally clean and will win someone's heart over very soon.
May the new year bring you a paying job, a home sale and a new home to call your own. Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
