Birthday Musings

Today, I celebrate my 15th anniversary of turning 29 years old.  *cough* It's pretty natural to look back at times like this to see how the previous year has been and looking forward to what may come.  This birthday is no different for me in that regard.

To quickly explain, I do believe in numerology.  While I appear to only have one functioning math gene, the power of numbers have always fascinated me.  Once I discovered numerology, I was hooked and found that it was spot-on.

This past year was a Nine Year for me.  That is usually indicative of loss, devastating changes and up-ending situations.  Gee, ya think?  *wink*  I can definitely say that this past year has lived up to that in spades.  However, much like the Death and Tower cards in tarot, this is often given an undue bad rap.  Loss isn't always a bad thing.  Changes don't have to be devastating.  Situations being turned upside down aren't always the end of the world.  

Although my life situation has followed suit with a Nine Year, my inner life bucked the entire system.  Looking back, I have grown exponentially inside myself since April of 2013.  I am not the same person I was then, and this is a very, very good thing.  

Well, that's not completely true.  I am the same person, but I'm stronger version - a bolder version - a version that is more focused and certainly more authentic.  

My losses actually worked to make my path more clear.  My life changes have renewed my energy and determination.  Yes, I've made lemonade out of lemons.  A big, honkin' keg of the stuff, in fact!  

I enter a One Year starting today.  This type of year brings new beginnings, new opportunities and all kinds of good stuff.  Bring it!  Not only am I ready but willing to embrace all that comes my way.  I openly allow new avenues to open up for me and can hardly contain my excitement at seeing what comes along!  It's going to be absolutely glorious!

So, watch out, world...Here I come!
