@Michelle744 - If you declined a reservation and during the process you said "block the dates", you can go into your calendar and manually unblock them now.

Since you've changed your mind and would like to accommodate a reservation you declined, ask the guest to send a new request, or send them a Special Offer or pre-approval.

If you cancelled, you cannot unblock dates.  It is one of the host penalties for cancelling.
