I was recently reminded that this is a 9 year, and we are moving toward its end.

Over the past month, I’ve repeatedly seen an image of myself drawing lines, finishing patterns that I have been working my way through, and out of, coming to a close. And with each ending, I feel lighter, and more free.

Next year, numerologically, is a 1: a clear slate and a fresh start. Whenever I tune into its energy, I sense two strong archetypes - the Fool and the Magician.

While we often associate the Fool with ignorance or missteps, embodying the higher sense of this archetype is actually a place of power. The Fool is often depicted on the edge of a cliff, seemingly about to fall, sometimes with eyes closed, without safety or assurances. But there’s something we often forget: Faith.

Faith is not blind, as the saying goes. Faith requires deep trust. And trust comes through intuition. When we are truly tuned in, and willing to follow that inner sense, we know we are not about to plummet or fall. In...

Every memory we recall, every bit of gossip we share, every bit of wisdom we offer has a story behind it, and within it.

Think about it for a moment - even the purest moment of epiphany becomes a story. You recall aspects of where you were, who you were with, how you felt in the moment, and then how you began to respond. You recognise the cause and effect of the choices you made, the changes you chose as a result. And you can recognise what lead you to the realisation in the first place, the series of events, what triggered or inspired you.

In one sense, the story is incredible useful, becuase it helps you to create meaning, or understand yourself in new ways. When we look back at our lives, or those of our family members, we can see points plotted out over time, that shaped perspectives, experiences, quality of life, and direction. 

And if we can continue to see things from that higher perspective to learn and apply the wisdom, we're in a good place to learn and grow.
