Need to keep an open mind if you want something. I did after my divorce & initially didn’t know how I would get the things I needed to furnish my rent house, tools etc. but they seemed to be dropping in my lap, not like free but at a price I could afford. I called my aunt & told her my sister came by that Saturday morning telling me there was a yard sale a few houses down. Walked over there & bought a lawn mower for $15 and some other things I needed. Told my aunt I needed hedge clippers & they didn’t have any. She called me an hour later and said my uncle’s nephew had come over to visit (which was maybe once a year) and brought them a spare pair of hedge clippers he didn’t need. She gave them to me. One by one I found everything I needed and for a good price within a month.
@cherokeepatti That was great for you things seemed to fall into place. Things like that happened to me after I split with my ex. I was financially in need but told myself I will always have enough & I have many stories how that came to be. I said it and put it to the back of my mind & its still working to this day. 💕 I think that is the secret believe it & it will happen its not for us to worry how but to accept what we are given with gratatude.

@Cutiepi23 also be grateful for what you have, that’s really really important. I think a lot of people waste their energy comparing their lot to others. But if you sort out what you need and focus on that instead of what you want (which may be luxuries in comparison) it is very helpful. Also believe that there is plenty in the world for you.
