My world started to change in April 2011 when I was laid
off from the best job I ever had. Two months later I learned that my bank was not willing to help me make it more
affordable to keep my condo, so I ended up filing for bankruptcy. Could it be
mere coincidence that my bankruptcy was officially filed on 12/20/2011 ( remove
the zeros = 122211) Then my court hearing was on 1/20/2012 (=12212) and my case number ended in 122! Just for fun,
the numbers put together are 12221,11221,2122!

After bankruptcy,
months went by where I felt like I was stuck in a place that was void of any
form of positive & productive change. 12/21/2012 came and went just like
any other day. This was not a surprise
to me as I have believed for some time that the changes that the date marks
started prior to it and will continue on for sometime after.
Never in my life have I experienced such a challenge. I
lost the best job I ever had, I went bankrupt, I will lose my condo in
foreclosure, my job search had not produced yet, and now my condo association is taking me to court to
pay for HOA dues that the bankruptcy could not absolve! If it were not for all
of my spiritual studies and personal development training , I am sure I would
have fallen deep into depression! I did not because I have trained myself to
let go of what does not work and focus on and take effective action on what
DOES work. Easy to say, but not so easy to do!
I felt stuck in an ocean of stagnation until one day when the numbers came up in such a way that I saw it as a good sign. I could feel
it in my bones and it turned out to be spot on!
A day or so after I got a call from my mom. She asked me
if I still wanted to sell my Dodge Neon SRT-4.
She was calling me from a car dealer because she was
having her oil changed and just happened to bump into a salesman that I had
talked to about my car. His son used to have one just like it, and he loved it.
I have been wanting to sell it because I wanted an average everyday car that
does not attract attention and has an automatic transmission.
Mom had been looking at a new car when the salesman
approached her. They talked it over and then she called me and offered to sell
me her car for a very reasonable price. I could not refuse because her car was
in excellent condition AND it only had 36K miles on it, so I took my car to the
dealer for appraisal and accepted their offer!
The following day my mom pointed out that the tag that
was placed on her keychain ( for the oil change) was # 12. Then she said that
there was 21 miles on the car when she saw it on the showroom floor. (Note: her address is
1221)! Right then I thought about a job
interview I had just a few days before. If hired, they would pay $21/hr to start! There is more to share about
this that I will share in a later post.
It seemed to me as if the numbers were marking out
significant moments in time and I could finally feel some positive momentum
happening.
