I even visualized the man who would come into my life and help make it all a reality by working alongside me on the project.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4051\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4051\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4051\" src=\"http:\/\/marniemarcus.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/johnfloodedroad2.jpg\" alt=\"My nephew Jon wading out our flooded road to go to college.\" width=\"250\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/johnfloodedroad2.jpg 528w, https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/johnfloodedroad2-165x300.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My nephew Jon wading out our flooded road to go to college.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Perpetual Fly In the Ointment<\/h2>\n<p>The challenge all along has been a pot-hole ridden road that floods multiple times a year. In fact, the road and the field surrounding it becomes a lake. When this happens, you have a choice to evacuate immediately and find somewhere to stay for a minimum of 3 days or be prepared\u00a0to be stranded on an island.<\/p>\n<p>Due to something we think TVA is doing differently with the Chickamauga Dam, it&#8217;s actually flooded 5 times since Chris and I married in September of last year, usually with only a day&#8217;s worth of rain to cause it. This is unheard of,\u00a0even for us.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, is not conducive to the idea of a retreat location. Who wants to plan\u00a0a big retreat, have people make travel arrangements; and then it flood\u00a0and guests can&#8217;t get in or out?<\/p>\n<p>People have suggested building a bridge, building up the road, or buying a boat. These solutions are either expensive or impractical. Even the boat option isn&#8217;t an effective solution because the flood waters are always different. You&#8217;d need docks on either end, and you can&#8217;t guarantee whether the water will reach the dock or run past it.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, I didn&#8217;t have the resources to fix any of this. But I held onto the vision and hoped one day it would resolve itself when my kids were grown and I was ready to create this retreat property with my dream husband.<\/p>\n<h2>Dream Husband Arrives On the Scene<\/h2>\n<p>So when my dream husband arrived &#8212; someone who could easily help me create my dream &#8212; I got excited. Of course, God would give me the rest of my dream &#8211; right? Nope.\u00a0Dream man\u00a0doesn&#8217;t want to live here. Who would? The road tears up\u00a0our cars. Nobody even wants to drive up our road to visit us, much less attend\u00a0a retreat here! In fact, I believe my poor faithful Nissan has had all it can take (as of yesterday).<\/p>\n<p>My husband also\u00a0doesn&#8217;t want to live in a house where I lived with my ex husband. Who am I to judge that? I wouldn&#8217;t want to live in the house he remodeled\u00a0for his ex wife. How can I blame him? Honestly, I&#8217;m looking forward to building a new life in a <a href=\"http:\/\/ignitepoint.com\/2016\/02\/09\/newlywed-chronicles-a-new-home\/\" target=\"_blank\">new place that is\u00a0just ours<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4048\" src=\"http:\/\/marniemarcus.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GrieveDreams-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"grieve your lost dreams\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GrieveDreams-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GrieveDreams-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/marniekuhns.com\/unplugged\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GrieveDreams.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>What he or I want now is really irrelevant because due to a tangled financial mess with my divorce, I don&#8217;t own this property anyway. I won&#8217;t go into details, but bottom line, this land\u00a0can&#8217;t be mine any longer. Time to walk away.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I&#8217;m looking forward to a new adventure, I did build an entire life in my mind around this place.\u00a0I am allowing myself to grieve\u00a0and\u00a0say goodbye. Not only am I saying goodbye to a home\u00a0I reared\u00a0my six children in, but it&#8217;s also\u00a0the end of having my\u00a0sister&#8217;s family as neighbors. My kids and her kids are like siblings. They love each other and are extremely close.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, I say goodbye to a dream that was all tangled up in my plans for the future. In many ways for reasons too lengthy to enumerate, I feel as if I&#8217;m saying goodbye to me.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, before anyone writes me to say it, it&#8217;s possible I might be able to pursue my idea somewhere else &#8212; if my husband\u00a0is game for it. I think he&#8217;d only go for it if it was a beach property and he got to give our guests rides on his dream charter boat. Hmmm&#8230; I think he might just go for that.<\/p>\n<p>As we create a new life together in a new place, I trust that new dreams will materialize &#8230; ones I can share with this man whom I love more than I love this land &#8212; more than I love the old dream.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I&#8217;m realizing I&#8217;m living the ultimate dream &#8212; which is to\u00a0have a\u00a0connected, loving relationship with a good man. That was the big WHY behind all of it.\u00a0It\u00a0was never really about the house, the property, the barn, or the retreat location. It was always about having a relationship with a mate I could work alongside to co-create a life with. That, I have. That is the door to endless possibilities. The dream continues&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy therapy is something I use to process loss and grief and deal with past traumas.
