Day 111 of 365 - An Auspicious Number?

Since the number of this post is 111, it reminded me of numerology and meanings of recurring numbers.  So, I decided to look that up.   An interesting fact, which I had not known, is that the father of modern numerology, as in what is typically used in the Western world, was developed by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras. There are other schools of numerology as well, such as Chinese and Kabballah.

The recurring 1 number which is so often noticed and remarked upon is 11:11, which is asking you to be more aware, follow your intuition, raise your consciousness and call on Divine guidance in your life.

For my purpose today, I'll note meanings I discovered for recurring 1's, such as in my 111.  Here is a list:

-  Create a new beginning;  new beginnings are coming;  start something new
-  Leave the past behind;  be courageous and strong;  be independent
-  Break away from the pack;  embrace your individuality
-  Put your creative talents to good use;  you create what you think- so watch your thoughts at all times
-  Focus your attention on what you want rather than what you don't want
-  Take action;  be proactive

In terms of this blog, to which the 111 refers, these suggested meanings would support me in widening the scope of my blog posts, should I so desire.  I don't yet know what that will look like, but I will be more open to sharing about whatever interests me, and relates to my health or vitality, regardless of how outside the box it may seem to the reader.

That being said, I hope you will have an open mind along with me, a willingness to explore a little into areas you may not have considered before, or routinely dismissed for whatever your personal reasons.  We all benefit from learning new things, whether we end up believing them or not.

In my past numerology would have been considered 'hogwash'.  But, it has been found by many to be a helpful divination tool to guide them in self-understanding and life direction.  I personally don't know much about it, but my interest was tweaked enough to purchase a Kindle book explaining it's history and applications.  I look forward to learning more about it, learning more about my own personal numbers, and how those meanings compare to other systems I have explored, like astrology.

I think we all use various systems or schools of thought to guide us in our lives.  This is just one more; (pun intended). :)

Day 53 of 365 - Christmas Decorating at Tortoise Pace

This past weekend the Facebook posts with photos of completed Christmas decorating began showing up.  Some people decorate every room of their common areas.  Some have up to three Christmas trees.  I admire those photos.  It's all very lovely and festive.  Those people are the hares in the race to Christmas.  I am the tortoise. I'm not judging.  People have their reasons for wanting to get it all done early.  That way they can enjoy gazing upon their holiday décor for several weeks.  Or, they may be entertaining with holiday parties or family get togethers on whatever date works for them. I love the holiday season, the lights, the decorations, the food, the general sense of magic in the air.  But this year I'm just having a little trouble getting the momentum going for decorating.  Before our first snow, which is now gone thanks to a few days of rain, I got excited and put up the balcony lights and garlands.  We have been e...

Day 86 of 365 - Year End Gratitude

Today I was out doing some of my usual weekend grocery and household shopping.  I noticed that the selection was more limited and that there were empty spaces and shelves.  Most of the holiday inventory that was added to aisles and end displays is disappearing, now at clearance prices.  Regular inventory shelves have not been fully restocked, probably due to some staff being on a vacation break. This made me realize how much we take for granted that everything we want will just 'be there' when we arrive at stores to shop.  It's part of our instant gratification culture here in North America, but it is certainly not at all typical in many other parts of the world.  We are so fortunate with all the choices we have, but we also just assume they will always be there. I felt grateful for the staff of the stores who are spending their shifts restocking the shelves for us.  I said a friendly hello to the produce manager at the grocery store, a man who goes out...

Day 13 of 365 - The Joy of Singing - Part 1

When I was growing up we had an old upright piano in our living room.  My mother had learned to play piano and organ as a young girl.  She continued to enjoy it as a past time during her years of homemaking and raising a family.  Often she would play from one of her songbooks and some of the children, usually the girls, would stand nearby singing and looking over her shoulder to read the lyrics. Those were fun times for me and I enjoyed singing melody lines and sometimes trying a harmony.  In elementary school I learned some basic sight reading of music and had some time in the school choir.  But, most of my singing happened at home or at church. I was raised as a Catholic and in my pre-teen and early teen years what were then known as folk choirs and now are better known as contemporary choirs came into vogue.  Our small town choir seemed to have limited access to that spiritual music genre and struggled by with a limited number of hymns/songs.  I...
