Chapter 5

If you have any knowledge of numerology, you'll understand that our lives operate on nine-year cycles which keep repeating themselves. Each of these years – 1-9, has its own vibration, set of influences, opportunities and obstacles which apparently cannot be avoided. With that in mind, today I begin my 5th cycle, or as I like to refer to it, Chapter 5.

My 2010 personal year commences on my birthday, and is back to the beginning of the cycle at number 1. Number 1 is for new beginnings, taking the lead and showing inner-strength and courage. They say success and happiness will come from being independent, creative, positive and selective, and following my intuitions and instincts. It will also set the tone for the coming 9 years. This is what it says in the $1.99 iPhone application I bought a few months ago anyway. Sounds promising to me!

The new beginnings part seemed to kick off ok, and I guess a fair amount of inner-strength and courage was mustered up over the past few months to get me here. Now, just to follow my intuition and instincts....

I'm really hoping I'll get some good news today about a room I'd like to rent. It ticked all the boxes: cool comfortable home, great location – 3 minutes walk to the beach and only a little more to the centre of town, similar wavelength seeming flatmates, and a nice garden for Pepe to be a cat in. My intuition tells me it's perfect.....I just hope their instinct tells them to 'pick me, pick me!'.

It seems my 7kg piece of furry baggage that is part of the Kim parcel is not such a welcome addition in some homes, so as an alternative (if the above room doesn't come through), I may need to start looking at setting up my own place and becoming the finder/sorter/picker of tenants. It would be fun to do it this way and take the stress out of wondering 'did they like me, do they want me, will I get it....?', but a major expense that I wasn't planning for. The furniture I left behind in my rented apartment sure would come in handy right about now.....

As I don't have phone coverage where I am staying, there is every chance I have a voicemail saying 'we want you and Pepe to move in!'. I head into town this evening to have dinner with my niece and nephews, and if there is such a message, you'll see my smile reflected in the moon I'll be so happy!

I'll keep you posted. Oh, and happy birthday to me!
