Bonnie Anthony and John Hunkler were directed some months ago to move from Key West and to search for the perfect site to launch a center. This center was to be used as a fun stop for "souls" on the path to enlightenment. Here's how it developed in their words:
It was about October of 2003 when I (John) got restless, and began to realize my career working with "soles" was over after having spent almost 30 years in every facet of the retail and wholesale shoe business. I quit my job, and knew a move from Key West was imminent, but not where to, knowing only that I was to "seek". So we purchased an airstream travel trailer and I set out to visit with my siblings around the country, and actually visited with 8 of the 9 siblings on my 8500 mile journey. Meanwhile I was stopping at every metaphysical store I came across, and trying to "feel" if any of the areas I visited were right for us. I was told that a move to the west was in order... I was hoping Arizona, New Mexico, the Pleiades, somewhere adventerous.
By late November I was right back in Florida with the intuition that "west" meant more west in Florida, and Tampa Bay came into view. Soon I was spending time in the Tampa Bay area to find a site for launching a long time dream of having a center for nurturing "souls". In the first week of the search no fewer than 4 sources said do not search in Tampa, go over to the other side (of the Bay, thankfully, Bonnie would have missed me). So after an intense search in Pinellas County, and making offers on at least 3 retail sites, by the end of December we had zip, nada, no room at the inn, the entities leasing or owning the sites were either too busy or not interested.
In January 2004, we found out why the other places weren't available. Having a great possibility minded realtor helped, because they found a site that wasn't even available before the first of the year. In fact we immediately started negotiating on the site and it never did hit the market! So we now have the perfect site in a beautiful upscale strip center in the lovely city of Palm Harbor!!
Bonnie and I have been students and teachers in the metaphysical world for years, and though we were involved in other types of "careers", we have always tried to keep the primary mission in mind: learning how to remove the obstacles to love's presence! So have fun with the site, please stop by the "center" when you can, at least for a hug if nothing else!!! |
