I just looked. It’s there: “marketplace”. https://goldenageofgaia.com/forums/forum/marketplace/
No reason we can’t breathe some life into it!

Had a look, and yes it does need some attention, your TLC, to spark it to life.
(I guess it was the name that made me think it was for professionals only – and I’m more into the barter / trade frame of mind , thinking along the humble lines of small bits of art , etc ) -

Speaking of Craigslist…. coincidently I have an ad in there now. Hello friends. I am seeking input from others if I may. I have been bartering my services for a room in other people’s homes for quite a few years now. My social security is not large enough for me to pay rent, so lately I’ve been helping take care of the elderly. I do housework, yard work, some cooking, be a companion and more, depending on the situation. I’ve also been a caretaker of a house for 7 years. I have met some interesting people in these situations and I’m grateful for that. But all the moving is getting harder to take. I’m 70.
Presently I’m in a situation where I must move again. Time is running out and I still haven’t been able to gain clarity about what to do, where to go, where to look, who to talk to etc. Yes I listen within for guidance but it seems that all I’m hearing is crickets. Of course there is much more to the story. I am a writer and I want the space and the peace of mind to be able to write and start my spiritual counselor career, but without being able to pay rent, I feel stuck. I’m in the last moments of leaving the old and creating the new, and confusion seems to reign. Any advice?

Dear MurrietaLight,
I feel for you. On my block are a couple of single women renting out the extra rooms in their houses for the same reasons you’re in a pickle. Supremely inadequate income / resources for various reasons.
A good resource is the Area Agency on Aging. Their national website is https://www.n4a.org/. They have chapters in many regions, nationally. I attended wonderful caregiver support groups through the Santa Barbara chapter for many years.
Please come back to continue dialoging here, if you want, and/or send me a message through the private message function…I’ll help you brainstorm if that’s what you would like. It sounds like your timeframe is short.
Much love,
Catherine 💓💞🌈

Dear Catherine, thank you for the inspiration. You gave me concrete information to work with.
And just to let you know, I have been reading this website for about a year now and I have donated. I think of all the sites that I have checked over the past year, Golden Age of Gaia is the one with integrity I can count on. I do not always agree with the information but it’s obvious that everyone associated with this website has a good heart and is also very articulate and spiritual. Thank you for being there for us.
Now having said that, I am still working on getting clear about my move. Nothing concrete to report yet but I have been in this situation many times before. I have had a large number of roommates that I found in a large variety of ways. (I have been a wandering Sadhu in a past life and it has come up big time in this one too.) Something always comes up for me, a door always opens as long as I don’t panic, which I have been doing the past couple of days causing my own chaos.
Thank you for the quick inspiration and support Catherine and Suzanne. I have an insight I am going to post below. Maybe you like the idea.

I was thinking today that maybe there should be a forum about something like “Work your magic on me”. Show me what you got. I’m sure there are healers here, psychics, readers, people with lots to offer those who are experiencing confusion. I come to you with a problem, such as “I have been a renunciant in many lifetimes and I have carried over the feeling of putting people’s needs above my own to an extreme extent in this life which is hurting me. I need to get rid of this behavior. Got any tips?”
Or, I tell you I have a false belief that I don’t deserve to have goodness in my life. I am not deserving. Then someone who can relate to the question or the conundrum responds and works their magic on me to help me through the block. That way people can be of service, and let others see what you are made of. Maybe drum up business that way. Just an idea.
Spiritual solutions for spiritual problems?

I’m fairly new in the forums here , MurriettaLight , and I’m laughably slow and clumsy finding my way around them (took me a couple weeks to even realize there’s more than one page of threads to read !) – and I’m always curious , so will watch to see if anything along those lines is created here.
Meantime, I thought this would be a sensible place to say my first hello to you !
I saw your post about your housing dilemna and am sending best wishes and thoughts out for things to unfold easily and smoothly for you.
I’ve often thought that every community, big and small, should have a branch of a non-profit register/organization whose sole purpose is to help single people, especially seniors or single moms, find affordable housing with compatible roommates. Maybe there’s actually something along that line already – but not that I’m aware of. Usually it seems to be small obscure networks at very grass roots level created in random locations.
I’m in Canada – not sure where you are , but please do keep sharing …

Thank you Lynn for the good wishes. I like your ideas. A more spiritually enlightened society (like the one we are building and creating) will provide for the spiritual warriors who come to the Earth plane to learn and grow and create new ways of being for all of us. I think we are going in that direction.
And by the way I live in Southern California in the USA. Nice to meet you.

Nice observations, Murietta and Lynn.
Murietta, have you looked at the Marketplace…place? I can’t even think what to call it, speaking of computer inept.🙄
Anyway, instead of Main, click on Marketplace.
That might be a good place to reach out with the kind of exchange “work” you describe. “Spiritual solutions for spiritual problems” would be a great thread to start there. Feel free to do so!
I’m going to post a promo piece about the marketplace forum soon(ish) and that would be a good way to include your idea. Lynn has already expressed an interest in livening up our bartering options at the forum, so it’s interesting that you two are next to each other’s posts here.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Thanks for your note back to me , MurrietaLight, and yes, let’s all nourish each another and share ideas / dreams here … I have the sense it’s going to be so very important to have one another & this safe place over the next while !

I’m posting an update to my move situation here because that’s where I started it. If it should be moved, that’s ok.
In the past I have seldom had a problem with finding a place to live. It seems that I’ve been burning off karma lately and the going is harder. Then add the pandemic onto it and people are just not wanting to open up yet. I think people are still afraid and are being cautious. I was told in a reading that it might be a bit challenging to move to a new place at this time because of the climate of hesitancy, but keep at it. I will find something good soon. I cling to that as nothing seems to be appearing on the horizon yet.
At the same time, I am pushing myself into new behavior. I have been pulling out my inner warrior Self and standing along side it for support. I am also pulling out my inner realtor, and my inner financial advisor. We’ve all had plenty of past lives that we can draw from and it’s fun doing it. I am working on more concrete things I can do to find my home as well as the inner stuff. This is a new way for me to find a home and it seems to be taking longer, but I do feel something drawing closer to me. Everyone else in my orbit is situated and now it’s my turn.

Hi Murrieta,
You would be surprised as how much you “seem” to have in common with a friend of mine for only this statement …
At the same time, I am pushing myself into new behavior. I have been pulling out my inner warrior Self and standing along side it for support. I am also pulling out my inner realtor, and my inner financial advisor.
I will not go into further comparison for the both of you. What I will do however is give my view on her situation. Maybe it can help others to benefit from it.
Thanks for your guidance.
Love you 💕😘💕
Ralph
…
My friend is a Lovely person, very spiritual, a strong woman and she loves children. She feels like a mother to all children on this earth. She loves to take care of them. Thinking of a child gives her heart the utmost love feeling she knows.
Equally she is a warrior, a protector, a fighter for good … against bad, harm and injustice. She is besides all that, also the most hard headed person I ever came across in this life.
Anyway, her 3D situation currently has many obstacles. She is able to identify these “problems” in the health and economic range, which results in shelter/living problems.
I will stop there in observing and describing her situation from my perception. What I noticed though over the last months, is her “way” to approach these matters. She knows these same situations from earlier similar moments in her life. She also remembers how she solved them then.
I would classify them as the “active spiritual warrior” kind. Active healing, forgiving “others” for their short comings and injustice. Accepting “their lower” spiritual behavior “forgiving kind”.
So I offered her a different spiritual insight. About self love, looking for your inner vasanas, clearing your inner fears and emotional debris. Offering her to let go of the warrior and surrender into Accepting All, Becoming Whole and arrive in the present I, the Now and trust Being.
This is a huge step for a warrior! To her it feels like surrender and loosing. Her warrior Control is what always saved her and got her this far in life … despite all the resistance from life itself. She has no more strength left to “sobre vivir” survive … she wants to finally live and be happy!
Just this last obstacle … in the “other/outer” world.
This is a general Light message I was triggered in writing and offering here. Much love as always 💕💕💕

Ralph, thank you for that insight and information. Something that popped out at me the most was this:
About self love, looking for your inner vasanas, clearing your inner fears and emotional debris. Offering her to let go of the warrior and surrender into Accepting All, Becoming Whole and arrive in the present I, the Now and trust Being.
Excellent observation I would say. And just about three days ago I saw my inner warrior standing there all muscular and toned, with sword in hand, and I realized that sometimes you have to let the sword down and walk away. Not in defeat but because your warrior work is done here. It’s time to open up and allow the universe to work its magic on you. You did the work, so open up to receive what you put out there. Yes, be whole and be in the present moment. Any fear you harbor must be examined and let go of, or any other discordant emotion. I agree that it’s hard for warriors to do that sometimes.
And yes, self-love. You must love yourself first. I have been learning this the past year. A process to go through for sure, especially for someone who is a “giver.”

I see how I was easily confused between “the warrior” and “the giver”. Thanks for this insight. Further I like to inform, that this conversation here equally resulted in a nice productive conversation in my “real” world with my friend.
I love to see how she is making progress. Maybe better is to sense the progress … or the absence of dense and heavy “resistance” energy.
She is “still” trapped in the same “obstacles” surrounding her and preventing her to “move in” a solution, she is currently perceiving as unwanted … a “problem”!
All is One. Emotions are just another level of memory and awareness. Expressing is just as much a solution, as Doing or Behaving. They all move energy around and allow the Light to enter when allowed.
Ones purged, cured, healed, learned … the previous “lower” energy around this memory has no Ground for Existence … and you rise Up into Higher Lighter frequency.
As the Inner and Outer are One … the desired “portal out” of the perceived “problem” will present in “outer reality” too. The outside is a mirror, you are the original … the Creator, Projector … Observer.
Sorry Pat. Wasn’t planning on “teaching/preaching”. Sort of happened 🤣😂
Just feel many Wonderful events occurring lately.
Thank you
Much love 💕💕💕
