I have some questions, and wonder what do you all think?

First question---Do you think it's possible that there are forces (or a force) that can hold you back? Here's why I ask---We've lived in this area 29 years. We first came here because my husband had a good job offer, one that offered a chance to really advance in his chosen field. We left the place where we were both born and were ready for the move. Our home area didn't offer the same opportunities. So...we made the move. Within 2 weeks of moving, my husband was told that his job offer wasn't "legal" (in terms of company rules). We seriously thought of just packing up and going "home" since I hadn't found work yet. A week after that, the company found another job for him and eventually, his career took off. The thing is---we never fell in love with this place. Oh, I tried---I really did but deep down, we both felt that this wasn't where we were meant to be.

So---what happened? Why are we still here? Well...the career advancement potential here is so great that my husband found that he was soon wearing a pair of "golden handcuffs". Oh, sure, there were similar jobs elsewhere but the advancement potential wasn't there. Still, he tried to transfer out. Nothing ever panned out.

We had our daughter five years after we moved here. After her birth, we decided---for her sake---that if no transfer came up and it was time for her to start school, we would just stay put until she graduated. For a while, we even thought that if she wanted to live here as an adult, we would make the best of it and stay here.

In the meantime, life went on. I worked part-time in the community after she was born, we got involved civically in local issues that affected our daily life. We got to know some of our local elected officials enough to be able to approach them with concerns. But still, we knew we weren't meant to be here. Over time, living here has affected our health for the worse. No sidewalks, no street lights means no walking anywhere, so the weight came on along with the attendant health problems.

In the end, our daughter decided that this wasn't the place for her, either. I also had an epiphany of sorts---right before she graduated high school, we all took a visit to a favorite city---one I hadn't been to in a while. We walked everywhere. Then it hit me---this is where we need to be.

So...I set out to make it happen. I have a friend who is intuitive who always tells me that I'm meant to be in that city. She says I have much to accomplish there. I started praying on this, lit candles to bring prosperity, read "The Secret". I took the advice of "The Secret" and cleaned out the house as if I were moving.

Here is why I am now wondering if there is a force at work that is sabotaging my best efforts---One thing I decided to do is to "divorce" myself from getting involved in the problems of the community. I wasn't going to trouble myself. Then, the next town over (we live by the border) decided to put in a facility that would hurt our quality of life as well as our property values. So, I was sucked into getting involved. Since then, more than once I was confronted with such "in your face" issues that left us no option but to get involved.

Not only that...but everytime we decide to put some money into the house towards updating/fixing it up to get it on the market, something happens to sabotage that. For example, recently we were talking about what to do next---put new floors in the bathrooms? Arrange to remove and dispose of some old furniture? Then, the heat pump broke, so there goes that money! Of course, you could say that did need our attention but there have been other times when we discuss putting money into the house and something similar happens.

My intuitive friend once told me to meditate and tell the house that we are ready to leave and ask it what needs to be done (she says that each house has its own spirit). Well...I'm not good at meditating but the house was telling me in a little girl's voice that it didn't want us to move. I told my friend and she said that I was picking up the spirit of a little girl who had attached herself to me. That doesn't surprise me since we've heard doors in the house close and no one was in the room where the noise occured. I went to a group reading by a medium who picked up messages from the deceased. She told me that a little girl is attached to me. It turned out to be a girl in my neighborhood growing up who died of leukemia at age 9. I told the medium that I didn't know her that well, but she said that didn't matter, she was still attached to me!

So...are there forces sabotaging us wanting to move? Is one of the forces the little girl? At my friend's suggestion, I tried talking to the little girl and told her that she needs to cross over but I still sense she's with us. Sorry for the long message but I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you for reading this.

Also, anything we can do to move things along, so to speak? We are more than ready to make the move---and I've told the universe this (as my friend suggested I do). Tweet
