Asking for DU good vibes, please and they worked!

Last edited Mon Oct 29, 2018, 02:57 PM - Edit history (1)

We finally have an offer on our house and our realtor is now presenting the counter offer to the buyers.

The house has been on the market since last May. My husband and I are going through a divorce. We custom built the house in 2010-11 after the house that was there burned down in 2007. When the house burned, I was 3 weeks post my first hip replacement. Today I am 6 days post my 2nd hip replacement.

It's all very emotional. It will be a huge relief if we can come to agreement with these buyers.

I'm hoping for some of the famous DU vibes to seal the deal.



On edit: Just heard from our realtor that our counter offer was accepted! Yay!

Good luck! If you have a small statue of St Joseph hanging around, put him in the dirt head first. Some say it works.

Having been through two divorces and the related property and financial issues, I sympathize with your circumstances. It must be painful to have to give up the home that you built for yourselves. And why not throw in some physical issues, just for fun?!

Here's a crazy thought: Your life will get better, perhaps sooner than you think. In my own life, amazingly, I'm getting married again! Either love finds a way, as in "third time's the charm" OR three strikes and your out! (wink)

I hope your house sells and you can resolve the end of your marriage. In the meantime, here's some really good vibes from Gary Burton:

My youngest son played percussion in high school--including vibraphone--but not like that! Crazy good sound. Thanks.

You're brave to go for three. Second time around on this one which lasted 32 years. I don't think I have it in me to try again.

I'll be happy if I can just walk without pain after this third joint replacement. I had a knee last year. I think the joints are easier to replace with a better result than husbands.

and an easy chant to learn if those work for you. I like having some kind of thing to focus on when things get to be too much, this is a nice focal point that may be more beneficial than expected... who knows? I always have music going on in my head so this works well for me.

I filed for divorce last week. We bought a repo house about 11 years ago and have done a lot of work. It's finally close to the way I wanted it and now I can hardly stand to be in it. I'm not sure how we're going to handle the house. In a way, I don't care. In another way, I don't want him to get to enjoy living in it. I'll probably have to make myself get over it, I suppose.

It makes me so sad to be in our house now which I pretty much designed. Too big for me to live alone in it and I couldn't afford to buy him out anyway.

So I have moved to something completely different. If the house sells I'm going to upgrade to a larger apartment in my downtown high rise with the fabulous view.

Good luck to you.

No. And I'm now restricted from bending over as a hip recovery precaution for 6-12 weeks.

The burying of the statue ritual is nice for those of us who like rituals. But I'm sure it's the prayers and focused intent that helps the ritual work.

quick and complete healing from your surgery, rapid sale of your house for the price you want, amicable resolution of your divorce, and a future that is so full of health, happiness, and love that you will look back on this period, if at all, as a small blip that did not last long!
