My Story
About Miss Georgia- Yesterday's Farmhouse
The Law of Attraction is really strong with this old house. I wanted to share with you how the Law of Attraction works in ways we cannot even begin to understand. A few years ago, I became very sick and was diagnosed with Bipolar. It was a very challenging time for me and my loved ones, but we always remained positive and strong, and we worked our way to where we are today.
Once I was feeling better, I hired one of Jack Canfield's (owner of Chicken Soup for the Soul books) as a personal life coach. It changed my life so much, and I still live it each and every day. On my vision board, bucket list to some, there were numerous things but one of them was a picture of the old house, and another was to one day own my very own furniture paint company and host workshops all over Canada.
The owner of the old house passed away, (I personally had never met him and only knew him as the old man who lived in the old shack with no power), and it was left to a family friend. After talking to her numerous times, she said that I could have the old house and move it to my property. I was thrilled to death.
I would go over and just sit in the house, I put my horses over there to graze, and I would spend hours dreaming about how I would decorate each room. One day when I was over cleaning and scraping the old lino off the floor I took some photos of what I was doing.
I also own another group called "Junkin Around" and I posted the pictures on that page. In only a few minutes I had a ding on my computer, and I found a message from a women named Kathy, who I had never heard of, and she told me that she had seen my photos and that she would supply me with every ounce of paint I needed to paint the old house. I was over the moon excited and called up my sister to tell her all about it. Kathy was also very excited, but she did not realize I was thousands of miles away up in Canada.
I called Kathy and we chatted, and we bonded that minute. She was the owner and creator of PIY Paint. Kathy kept her word and sent me up my paint right away. I tried the paint on some furniture at home, and I was in love. It was the best product I had ever used, and the wax was just unreal easy to apply and what a finish. My sister was painting with me, and I looked at her and said, " Oh my God, we have found it". She asked what "it" was. I said our paint line. We called Kathy, asked her if we could purchase all of Canada and partner up with her and her daughter, Annette, and in less than a month my sister, her hubby, my hubby and I were all on our way to learn how to make Chalk Paint.
So, through that little old shack on the side of the road I got my dream of becoming the owner of a furniture paint franchise. And so today, another amazing thing happened. And I know now that I have opened the door things will continue to magnify.
I could not decide on a name for the old house, I have tossed many names but to me she just looked like something from the Mississippi, and I wanted something that sounded strong, yet had a touch of pretty. I came up with the name "Georgia" and I loved it. A perfect name I thought. Today I had to go visit the lady who gave me the house. I had never really asked her about the old owner, just really never had the time, I guess. But today I asked her what the name was of the old man who built and lived in the old house.............she said, "his name was George".
Now does that not just give you goosebumps. It sure did me.
