Making Space for What You Really Want...

When we moved, we got rid of our recliner, leaving us with just a couch in the living room.  It's fine for the 4 of us--we just snuggle on there together!  But, we have family coming to visit in a couple of weeks and so we need a bit more seating.


Yesterday, I told my husband that I was going to sell a pallet bookshelf that I made, to make space for an armchair or loveseat that we wanted to get for extra seating.  I specifically said that I was getting rid of the bookshelf before we found anything, so that it would create the space and allow some type of seating to come to us.  (I know, I know, that sounds so woo-woo...but I'm really getting into the "Law of Attraction" and manifesting what you want to happen!)

So I posted this picture of the bookshelf on a Facebook sale group:


Within an hour, there were 2 people interested in buying it--AND, I had found an armchair with an ottoman for less than what I was selling the bookshelf for!  I hadn't even gotten the bookshelf out of our house, and had already found the extra seating that we needed.  My husband went to pick up the chair and ottoman, and 6 hours after I said "I'm going to sell the bookshelf to make space for extra seating in the living room," it had happened.


So, today, I challenge YOU to get rid of something that's taking up space in your life:
clothes?  
shoes?  
books?  
work hours?  
extracurricular activities for the kids?  
"I'll do it someday" hobby items?

...and see what manifests once you make the space for something new to come into your life!
