Letting Go of 2024

The beginning of 2024 wasn't so great for me because I was going through an anxious time and struggling with health anxiety. I started to feel a bit better but the second half of the year went downhill for me due to other issues (and anxiety on and off). I also write a mid-year reflections post and you can see 2024's here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2024/06/mid-2024-reflections.html

If you follow numerology, the Universal Year Number for 2024 was 8, so 2025's is 9. 2024 was supposed to be an "accelerator" year which helped people push forward on their goals. (I wrote a bit about it in last year's Letting Go post.) I didn't really feel that it was that way for me though.
