End of the financial year is nigh.......

What a month June has been.
My husband and I have been in negotiations with an organisation to manage a retreat.
After around three weeks and much discussion, along with meeting them....... the organisation has decided to not appoint a manager, but to simply sell the whole place.
It seems that there is to much work to be done to the place and they have decided to get rid of it as soon as possible.
We will look at the price they are asking, but I feel it will be tooooooo rich for our blood.
So a little disappointed, but everything happens for a reason.
The area in Northern NSW feels like the right area for us to start our new life.
I think that the lessons are still be sent through for me to learn.
During the application process I pushed a little to hard and have had a little relapse.
It took me a couple of days to recover and get back up on my horse.
I think that the universe is saying that I have to have faith and not try and play it safe.
We need to say..... "all or nothing".
We have so many ideas.................................. have to have faith to make them become reality.

Feeling a little lost...........................

Ultimate highs and ultimate lows.

Just when you think that you know the direction you are heading in and how to move forward, a road block gets put in your way.

On the weekend we took a trip to Northern NSW to look at a property that have been searching for Managers.

The property is owned by a charity who want to increase the use of the property and in turn increase revenue.
200 acres of pure bliss is how I would describe it.

We sat and talked with them for a while and it became clear that they didn't really know what they wanted.

They talked about selling, offering a contract for us to run it, profit share and many other options.

I have looked at this as an opportunity and testing ground for my husband and I to see if this is what we want to do and can achieve.

We came back feeling, what I thought, was invigorated.

Well........... that was until yesterday.

My husband threw road blocks in the way again and again.
He talked about how much he would have to sacrifice.
Things like, he would have no shed, it would be hard for him to work on his bike............... etc, etc

This conversation floored me.
I have been the one that has sacrificed everything, have supported the family, have held it all together.
That is........until I got sick.
I hear what he is saying in that we would be working for someone else and building up someone else's business.
His suggestion is that we buy the place.
I say with what?????????

So today I have retreated to my room to contemplate the whole situation.
I feel deflated and feel like just giving it all up.
Going back to being responsible for me and walking away from it all has also crossed my mind.

What a difference 24 hours makes.........................................................maybe it will turn around again. Only time will tell.
