Pin It!

Before I talk "dirty" to you let's define manifest. Alexa, define manifest... in sum she defines it as being clear or obvious to the eye or mind. I can roll with that!
That being said, I am inviting you to take this piece and properly apply it to your goals. But here and now... this chat is going to cover making your house a home... homeowner or renter alike!
Just to get you up to speed... I do not feel homeownership is for everyone and certainly something to bark upon in your own timing, not because of the current interest rate or because that is what your peers are doing. Nor do I feel making your house a home requires homeownership!
Yet, I've been a homeowner for 12 years this month... YIKES! Every May I make a conscious effort to reflect on the moment I decided to start the process to purchase a home. 

• I had challenging credit that HAD to be addressed before sashaying up into ANY bank... talking about I would like to buy a house
• The decision on if I wanted to stay in the Carolina's or move to Texas, which was on the table for years after undergrad
• Did I want to purchase preexisting or build? Reside in the City or commute? 
• The layout of the home
• The "must-halves" and the ok... I'll adjust moments. 

Fast forward to years of residing in the same home. Annually, I pour into our home around the month of May. Sometimes I am silent about it and other times I share, check my archives. But what I have learned from this course is that I require the vision in order to do the work! Meaning, for me to manifest it... I have to write it down and speak it to life. Ha, even cut a picture out of the magazine or catalog then use a stickpin to hang it up on the wall in the master closet. A space I visit at least 3 times/day! Somethings have taken years to accomplish before unpinning it from the wall "of vision." Other projects not so long. 
Currently, I have two projects ahead of me... don't tell my husband. Joking, he already knows. One may be pinned for a bit! The cost is not in the budget, new living room flooring. My cashapp is $MrsNewson if you feel it in your heart of hearts to contribute... lol. Then fresh decor in the master bathroom which includes the below new shower curtain I already purchased. What, we grown! Of course, that bathroom will get done sooner. Just deciding on accents and such. 
Why do I feel homeownership is not for everyone? Not too much of cost or how one could save. Because let's be honest... if you have a home loan... you're still paying the bank! My position is more on does owning a home fit your future goals? Such as:

• Purchasing singled vs married
• Family size, if it's growing or not
• Staying in the home long-term or not
• IF you move, would you rent it out or not? 

I'm sharing my current pinning w/you because seeing it has truly worked for me. It's been years since I created a vision board. However, that has not stopped me from a single vision cutout and pinning it accordingly. Excuse me while I grab my scissors. 

I'm back! I encourage you to breath life into something within your control. It could be big or small. Happy manifesting to you!
