2018 Goals,Dreams and a sprinkle of magic

And just like that 2018 has arrived and the first week of the month has ended. I head back to work this week so I thought this was the perfect time to write this post.The festive season is always a difficult time of year especially if you have lost loved ones as the “empty chair” is more noticable.The New Year becomes even more difficult for our family find out why here.
So with the start of a New Year ,one becomes hopeful and rather positive with resolutions and changes one feels will benefit them.I personally do not like the word resolution but prefer goal instead.I startedf this last year.

The magic of 2018

Everyone who I have crossed paths with the last few days of the new year seems very positive about the year ahead and have almost a switch in mindset putting their health and well-being as a priority.Some time ago I wrote a post about an Empty Cup and why we need to look after ourselves ,it is a post I often visit and share.I too personally am rather excited and filled with hope for all that 2018 will bring,2017 was an interesting year  .

According to numerology and several astrologers the number 8 is a very special number and here is why :
1.Signifies infinity.
2.Symbol of harmony and balance.
3.Portrays abundance.
4.In China it is a lucky number and 8 is a homonym for prosperity.
5.It is a symbol of inner strength and determination.
6.The eight day of the Chinese New Year is the day for the annual gathering of all the God’s in heaven.
7. In the Bible 8 represents a new beginning.
8.Eight is the total number of Chakras of the man, counting the seven in correlation with the physical body, plus an additional working in the etheric body. This eighth Chakra is known as being “the Chakra of the Soul” or “the Star Chakra”. It would be located approximately 7 to 10 centimeters above of the Crown Chakra.
So with so much positivity and possibilities it is kind of hard not to feel that 2018 is going to be really a good year.
