Wolfgang and I have rental properties, and most of the time, I really enjoy working with the tenants and prospective tenants.  It is fun to match people to the right home for them – and to see their excitement when they move in.

The majority of our tenants are wonderful, and if they leave – it is on good terms.  But once in awhile, we find one of our homes abandoned – and in a mess.  This week, Wolfgang has been fixing one of those messy homes in preparation for a new tenant.  One of my contributions to this fix-up was to scrub and disinfect the refrigerator. 

As I was scrubbing, and rinsing, and scrubbing some more; I wanted to judge the people who left this home in such a mess.  I really wanted to think badly of them, but I just kept getting the message to let them be.  I have no idea what they might have been going through when they created this mess.  If I allow myself to jump into judgment, then that is what my mind is going to play with for awhile.  And I would much rather have my mind playing with other thoughts.

I share this with you only to remind myself, and perhaps you, that judging someone or holding a grudge against someone harms no one - except the person holding that judgment.  Most of the time, the person being judged doesn’t even know it.

So, after my scrubbing exercise, I find myself with a few sore muscles, the slight smell of bleach on my hands, and a beautiful, shiny-clean refrigerator.  I know that the new tenants will appreciate it, and I know that I am happy clearing out the old energies and bringing in new ones.

So, judge or don’t judge – it’s up to you.  For me, I prefer shiny-clean refrigerators to dark and ugly judgments.

Namaste!

Differences

I met my grandson for the first time the other day.  He is healthy and well.  His mother lives with her parents in a nice home not far from my son, who lives with his mother in a nice home, also.

My grandson’s mother is 20 years old, and my son is 25.  Neither of them has a traditional income source; like a job or running a business of some sort – at least not to my knowledge.  Never the less, everybody lives just fine.

When my son was born 25 years ago, I stressed about providing a good home and worked hard to provide as best I could.  Having my parents or his mother’s parents provide for him never even presented as an option in my head.

As I am watching this unfamiliar family dynamic from a distance (I live 60 miles away), a lot of old energies present for me.  As I am feeling these energies building in my body, it becomes clear to me that it is a great opportunity to release my old beliefs about family, money creation, and how to take care of a new family member.

I will clear these energies from all of my bodies (physical, emotional, and mental) when they present, and open myself to enjoy my grandson to the fullest.  Thank you, God, for the clearing tools that we have available today.

Life is good.

Lots of love,
Wolfgang
