In recent months, the number 8 has become significant in my life and with what I'm about to share, some may find it odd while others may think it's a coincidence. I don't believe much in coincidence anymore, only the divine. How everything has divine timing.

Allow me to explain.

Before I was born, my grandma told my parents that I was going to have a gift. What gift? The gift of healing, inspiring, mentoring, etc.

I was born June 8th.

On January 8th, 2022 my estranged husband passed away.

On August 8th, 2023 my lovely mother passed away

✨✨✨✨✨

I won't specify why Jan 8th and Aug 8th brought abundance into my life because it's just too long of a story but just know that the fact that both happened on the 8th, means much more than I thought they would.

The number 8 has shown me nothing but hope and promise. Healing, positive outcomes and the ability to take things as they are even in sad situations.

In meditation/prayer, I've grown more as an individual.

I often try to inspire and encourage others. Mentor them in a way.

Exactly as my grandma said I would.

I enjoy uplifting people. Giving them an "ego boost" so to speak. But in a way that encourages to keep striving for the best. To never give up. To always have hope of what's to come.

Trust me, it took decades for me to finally follow my own advice. I was always the friend that people came to to vent because I listen and give them a chance to express their frustrations with whatever situation and if they want my opinion or advice, I share it.

Some have said that, I'm a healing presence. Which is flattering and again rings true with what my grandma predicted about me.

Now listen, this isn't a post trying to pat myself on the back. I am acknowledging that the number 8 has brought so much joy to me in one way or another. In good times and in bad.

I am so focused, clear headed, optimistic and self aware of everything around me.

Loving where I am now as opposed to where I was mentally in 30+ years, is a vast improvement.

2024 will be a year of awakening.

2+0+2+4 = 8

It's going to be MY year. Not even in the cliché way. No. It WILL be my year and I look forward to what 40 brings as that is what age I will be in 2024. :)
