Gratitude List

I normally post on Sundays or Mondays but I'm behind with blog posts (I also run the blogs Star Sparkle Blog and The Seasonal Life), and just remembered I haven't done January's Gratitude List! So here it is on a Tuesday (and the last day of the month). :) 

Things I'm grateful for this month:

  • Going to Creams Cafe in Brighton again (first went in November)
  • Going to Starbucks
  • Winter sunsets
  • Sunny weather after days of rain
  • The days getting gradually longer again
  • Baking gingerbread cookie bars- I planned to make them for Christmas but didn't manage to, so I did them this month instead
  • Finding meal ideas online
  • Getting new slippers 

 

And here is a sunset picture I took recently:

Coronation Green, Shoreham-by-sea.

Letting Go of 2022


We've just started a new year, so it's time for my annual letting go of the (previous) year post. I normally post this on New Year's Eve but wasn't able to this time, so I'm posting it today instead (even though it's not one of my usual posting days). :) You can see my past year-end posts at the links below:

2022 was an up and down year for me and probably for a lot of people. It had been the first time in two years when things were feeling a bit more "normal" after the pandemic and all the lockdowns. All restrictions were basically dropped in the UK in March but things have still felt a bit strange. I wrote a mid-year reflection post in June. You can read it here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2022/06/mid-2022-reflections.html

If you follow numerology, the Universal Year Number for 2022 was 6, so 2023's is 7. It's supposed to be about spiritual and personal growth and evolution. Read more about the universal year here: https://astrostyle.com/7-universal-year-numerology-horoscope/

My Personal Year Number for 2022 was a 1, which means that for 2023 it's 2. It's about partnerships and co-operation. I normally use the book 21st Century Goddess for my year number, but I have also used this resource a couple of times (it helps you calculate your personal year): https://feliciabender.com/monthly-numerology-forecast/#calculate
