.... hahaha - got ya GenX'ers!!!! 😆 <<Friday Funny for you>> No we are not going to talk about that. But what we can talk about is... Valentine's Day and our Love Languages. Even if you are not a fan of this holiday, roll with me... Understanding our Love Languages is important for soul development because it helps us love with awareness instead of expectation - and receive love without misinterpreting it. We don’t personally celebrate Valentine’s Day - but I can absolutely see the beauty in it from a soul-to-soul level. So instead of flowers + pressure, let’s decode love a little. (And giving love back the way that fills others love buckets.) Inspired by The 5 Love Languages - the idea is simple: We embody all five love languages…but most of us have a Top 1 and Top 2 we naturally default to. - Words of Affirmation - Quality Time - Acts of Service - Physical Touch - Gifts ✨ Astrology Decoder Version Look at Venus in your birth chart (sign + house). Venus (the planet of Love AND the ruling planet of Friday - see the connection?!?) shows how you love and what fills your “love bucket.” Examples: • Venus in Libra → thoughtful gifts + intentional quality time (romance matters) • Venus in Sagittarius → experiences over things - memories = love fuel 🧠 Human Behavior Decoder Version Watch what people naturally do for you - that’s usually their love language. - Compliments your outfit? → Words of Affirmation - Cooks for you + cuddles? → Acts of Service + Physical Touch - Plans time together? → Quality Time The KEY: We often give love the way we most want to receive it. But others may not understand that and instead give love the way the want to recieve it. See how that works?!? P.S. This applies to everyone - partners, kids, friends, coworkers. P.S.S. Decoding human behavior is absolutely my jam - can you tell? 😄 Poll Time: What is your #1 Love Language? EXTRA BONUS POINTS: In comments, can you guess my #1 and #2?

… it’s Friday the 13th! 😮 Hahaha - JK! I don’t understand why this day gets a bad rap - and as an adult, I never put negative energy into it - thus never got anything yucky out of it. I did a little more research this morning to help guide us. I welcome your feedback and would love to know - do you follow this tradition or have you secretly known there is nothing yucky (lack of better word) to it? ****** Part of the superstition traces back to moments charged with fear and transformation — like the crucifixion of Jesus Christ traditionally believed to be on a Friday, and the mass arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday the 13th in 1307. Over time, those heavy events layered into a story of “bad luck.” But spiritually, those weren’t curses. They were massive moments of endings, awakenings, and rebirth. And that’s exactly what 13 represents. The number 13 is deeply tied to the Divine Feminine and the moon — there are roughly 13 lunar cycles each year. It carries intuitive, psychic, cyclical energy. It’s about shedding skins, closing chapters, and stepping into new timelines. Friday is ruled by Venus — love, abundance, beauty, worth. So when Venus energy meets transformational 13 energy, you don’t get chaos… you get evolution. Even in numerology: 1 + 3 = 4 — grounding, stability, new foundations. ⬅️ You know I’m all about this part! 😀 Spiritually, this is often a thinner-veil day. Intuition speaks louder. Synchronicities show up. Emotions surface so they can clear. It’s a powerful time to: ✨ Release what’s draining you ✨ Cleanse your energy ✨ Trust what your intuition is nudging ✨ Set bold intentions ✨ Let old stories fall away Friday the 13th isn’t unlucky. It’s a reset portal. Old world fear tried to turn sacred transformation into superstition.Awakened souls know better. 😉 If you’re feeling extra reflective, emotional, inspired, or tuned in today — you’re not off. You’re aligned.

I saw this on someone’s page recently, and I even fact-checked it and thought it was really cool and wanted to share. It really gives some perspective, I thought.
