Question:
Word has been going around that you’re considering putting your Newport home up for sale. Is that because the coast may have become unstable? Our family loves the Oregon Coast and has been considering moving there. Can you clarify your reasons for selling your Newport home, please?
The Seer:
Regarding listing the Newport house:
• I have had very clear confirmation that we can keep the coast safe for at least five more years
• I am selling the house because I’m trying to give my daughter, Jaylene, the opportunity of becoming more independent and mature.
• I’m also looking into other options, other than selling. But I’m still gathering facts (Air BNB for instance) but I’ve listed the house at a more expensive price to buy time for considerations (so it doesn’t sell too quickly).
• All the above options would still require that my daughter, Jaylene, gets a housemate and an independent living space.
• Lastly, Newport is my comfort zone and the ocean is my passion. I am trying to let go of the old, safety support system, and trying not to look back with a “maybe I can go back” attitude. But jumping into the unfamiliar and the uncomfortable (I’m not used to the desert conditions in Idaho) with both feet — it’s scary to remove one’s old familiar fallback positions, but it is the way of spiritual warriorship and self-mastery. It is in doing what’s beyond our comfort zone, that we flex our spiritual muscles and cultivate a robust spirituality.
Question:
Would you consider bringing the price down for Lightfamily?
The Seer:
Yes
The curtains and Persian rugs are very valuable…the silk upholstery, genuine paintings, and Crystal chandeliers are too, but I’ll include all furnishings if we either get our asking price or close.
Dearest Almine – i have moved more than once, jumping across canyons and hoping I would land well. Sometimes I did. Sometimes I had to cling onto the ledge, not having cleared the canyon completely. But as you know, the cosmos reacts to you, and in an instant can elevate or drop – and that is largely up to you.
I have no family other than my kids and one very distant uncle. I have a health condition that can be challenging, especially with not much physical support around me, and I am the sole caregiver to a beautiful differently abled child.
It is a beautiful, scary journey. But as you have taught so often, this is just a thread in the tapestry, a facet on a jewel, and a dream. You will be blessed wherever you are.
I love you. You can do this.
And I want to say also, that at times when I have felt so very scared, alone, and lost – (not necessarily because of a move) and I worried about where my kids and I would live, I have found solace in your words that “wherever I am is my home,” that the stars are your blanket and the earth your bed. You have been such a source of strength and wisdom for me, and I am so thankful.
Oh dear….I hope you are able to make an oasis for you and your family in Idaho Almine. Wishing you all the best in your new adventure!
‘The ocean is my passion’ 💙
Just realised that this so true for me.
I spent a year on the Arabian peninsula once. The desert was definitely outside my comfort zone, albeit with many gifts. I can appreciate it now from this remove. The fragrance of jasmine, frankincense, date palms and deeply starry skies.
I had a picture of Idaho being leafy with rivers, not desert terrain.
Thank you for sharing your home with us on so many levels. Such a glorious bedroom, with the cupola.
The beautiful blue of the little cushions in the dining space still flashes across my mind….
Alert! I feel a comfort zone review coming on!!
Almine, thank you for sharing your decision making considerations with us. It is very helpful.
Scary and uncomfortable-the way of the Spiritual Warrior.
Many blessings to you and your family.
The desert is not easy to get used to, even with its own beauty…when I lived there I appreciated its unique expression, but my soul longed for black soil and green grass…Which called to me, and I eventually went back to it. The desert teaches many things, and some really belong to the desert, they stay there.
As renting out the house as a holiday let would of course require a caretaker nearby, it would be worthwhile to explore simply registering it with the Newport tourist office or the tourist board at the town hall. Or any other solution baring AirB&B: an expensive non-solution where they regulate and you forfeit choice.
This is my experience.
Most of our neighbors with holiday accommodation choose a local inexpensive listing…and are fully booked a year in advance once visitors learn about them.
Bonne chance !
Ooh! Wish I had money to buy it! ☺️ It would be great as an Airbnb and many of us can stay there when we visit Newport! Jaylene could be the host and manage it, if she would like that. I really enjoyed being a co-host several times on there. Maybe a group of the light family can buy it, that way it will be honoured and treated like a sacred home. And when Almine comes to visit she will of course stay there. 🥰🙏💞
