My Destiny Number is 3:

The number 3 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward a more creative and inspirational nature. This path also leads to establishing yourself as an inspiration person spreading optimism and cheerfulness wherever you reside or travel. The byword for the 3 Destiny is embracing the joy of living and helping others to do the same.

A large part of your mission in life centers around raising the spirits of your fellow man. This might be on a everyday small scale basis, or it might be by being on stage as an entertainer. Obviously, for most, the first more likely, but, this Destiny does incline you along a variety of lines that may include writing, speaking, singing, acting or teaching. For some the interest in and appreciation of the arts is there, but the creative pursuit of these interests might not arrive.

You also have the destiny to sell yourself or sell just about any product that comes along. You may indeed be a natural salesman as the 3 traits are always welcome in sales and public relations. You are imaginative in your presentation and a pleasure to be around.

As you mature you must become an optimistic person that seems ever enthusiastic about life and living. You are friendly, loving and social, and people like you because you are charming and such a good conversationalist. You must develop an ability to communicate effectively in order to inspire others. It is your role in life to inspire and motivate.

Friends are extremely important to the 3 Destiny, and you must develop the ability to be a true friend. Through this talent you will achieve success. Opportunities open for you as you become increasingly social.

The negative side of number 3 Destiny is superficiality. You may tend to scatter your forces and simply be too easygoing. It is advisable for the negative 3 to avoid dwelling on trivial matters, especially gossip.

What’s your number?

Narrowing my goals  — 3 weeks ago

to those that I can easily accomplish with my experience and background is my focus. This was an easy decision to make.

Where to pursue these goals is a different story.

I reached total burn out right after my brain surgery. I needed time to recover from a major health crisis and couldn’t do it because of lack of financial support from my significant other. He just wasn’t there for me and I had to provide for us even though I wasn’t well.

I became despondent and depressed. Consequently we broke up and I moved 3000 miles to get a new life. In reality I didn’t want a whole new life just some “cover” while I was getting well.

The past year here in the wilderness has been very healthy for me yet I never really commited to this move. My things are still in storage in Texas. My heart is there with my children.

The biggest drawback to my moving back to Texas is I have made new friends here that truly are friends plus I am much healthier.

Yet it is time to make a decision and stop wandering in the wilderness. God/Universe can not provide more for accomplishing my goals until I make this decision,

In the past when things got tough I chose flight as my defense…maybe that is not the answer this time. Can I keep the best of both worlds and succeed with my goals?

My life is really in Texas~  — 1 month ago

My year sabbatical in the wilderness has been very enlightening for me. I am healthier and have been able to actually get to know my mother as an adult. We have never lived close to each other.

I have made some wonderful friends. I am professionally licensed the same as I was in Texas. Generally life has been very good here.

But as Spring is nearing I am thinking of my family in Texas. My oldest grand-daughter is playing soccer and the 2 babies are getting to pre-school age…not babies anymore. I am missing out on what is truly important for me…spending time with my own family.

Ideally, I could work here during the summer and Texas during the winter. Then life would be really good!

Happy Valentines Day to Everyone!  — 3 months ago

This is the first year that I haven’t had a sweetie. I thought it would make me very sad but I’m not sad at all.

I spent the morning remembering how blessed I have been in the past with love… knowing the future is ever so bright.

I am opening my heart for a new love.

Afterall don’t we save the best for last? ;)

B called to wish me Happy Birthday~  — 4 months ago

He just wanted me to know he was thinking of me. I was surprised he remembered. It was a very nice gift.

The biggest thing we have always had in common has been our passion for life. Whether fighting or loving we have a very strong bond.

Pennies from Heaven~  — 4 months ago

The art of shopping was the one past time I learned in Texas that I absolutely adore!

I haven’t had extra money here to do much of that but this past week I won a $100 gift certificate to any merchant in town and Santa (my Mom) gave me a $50 gift card to my favorite department store here in the wilderness.

The fires of passion  — 4 months ago

have been relit. Maybe that is why I moved back to the wilderness.
I had totally given up my passion for life in the City. I was on a downward spiral and hit bottom when B and I broke up…no money, no home, he broke my car…a year ago my life was in total shambles.
I was defeated…staying with friends. My sons were scared I had changed so much…then came the call from my brother to come to the wilderness and start again.

There have been some bumps but all in all I have regained my passions. 2008 will be even better!

Frankly, truth be told  — 5 months ago

I have just been going through the motions of my daily life for a very long time now. I kept waiting for the perfect time to make a change to living my creative dreams.

As it appears God/the Universe has shoved me out of the rut I was in quite bruskly.

Guess it’s time to make that change.

My mother grew up during  — 5 months ago

the great depression and world war II…many,many things have changed in her world. I have always looked at her like she was the most wonderful person I have ever known. To this day I believe that…

But today I realized she really has no idea how much the world has changed…she still believes if her daughters were married they would be safe, that working for someone else is more secure than working for yourself…

and the one thing I have always had as security is she loves me…that will never change.

I can only hope no matter how much the world changes in the next 30 years my children will realize no matter what happens in their world my love for them will never change either…
