]]> Time And Our Spirit Number https://vickitapia.com/2018/04/time-and-our-spirit-number/ Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:45:13 +0000 http://vickitapia.com/?p=225 The oldest of my three children turned 40 years old today. When I wasn’t looking, time played a trick on me. In a mere blink of the eye, the sweet baby I once held in my arms now has three children of her own. Time passed! How did that happen?

It is a known fact: If we are alive, we grow older. Some of us even grow wiser, but that’s not a given. Our outer shell will continue to manifest physical changes, marked by that yearly given number.

In reaching the beginning of her fifth decade, my daughter shared with me a bit of her growing wisdom. She now recognizes a basic life truth. The outside number we’re given to mark the passing of each year has little to do with the inside spirit number. She tells me she now understands that although her given number is 40, her spirit number is still 25. She has recognized our spirit has the ability to remain young. I concur. And, although I’m in my 60’s, I think my spirit number is also 25!
