Raspberries, revelations & the universe refusing to let me have a quiet week…
🌻 A Little Hello from Me
Well, what a week that was.
Monday 4th – is it just me or does that seem about six months ago already?
It was a funny old day. I didn’t really feel the Universal 1 energy at first, nor my personal day 4 for that matter. Usually, a 1 day arrives with a trumpet fanfare and a clipboard full of ‘new beginnings,’ but this one kicked off with chaos and vinegar fumes.
The morning began with me dropping a bottle of malt vinegar. Not a gentle wobble and save situation either. Oh no. Full dramatic smash. Tiny shards of glass scattered to every corner of the kitchen, while the entire room smelled like a chip shop in the 70’s.
With pets banned from entering the danger zone, we painstakingly cleaned every last slither. I finally stood back feeling rather pleased with myself… opened the fridge… and watched, in slow motion horror, as my freshly washed raspberries launched themselves into the abyss.
And when I say launched, I mean committed.
Some landed in the mop bucket. Some nestled lovingly inside the vinegar water. One or two disappeared into the mop head itself. Others rolled confidently beneath the fridge freezer into what can only be described as an archaeological dig of forgotten dust and dog fluff. It was less ‘fresh fruit’ and more ‘ a crime scene reconstruction!’
After another clean-up operation, we headed into the city for a birthday meal with friends. Beautiful weather, lovely atmosphere, everyone cheerful. We pulled into the car park and as I reached for my phone to pay, Stephen casually announced, ‘we don’t need a ticket today.’
Now normally I’d question this immediately, but for some bizarre reason I simply accepted it. Four hours later, just as we were leaving the restaurant, someone mentioned they were about to run out of parking time and suddenly I froze.
It wasn’t Sunday.
It wasn’t a bank holiday.
It was very much a normal Monday.
What had Stephen been thinking of?!
By some genuine miracle — divine intervention, distracted traffic wardens, invisible cloaking devices, who knows — we escaped both a ticket and a clamp. Honestly, we could not believe it.
And then later that evening… there it was. The Universal 1 energy finally tapped me on the shoulder.
An idea arrived.
A proper one.
The kind that makes your brain sit upright at 9pm and say,‘Ohhhh… now we’re talking.’
We’ll come back to that shortly.
Tuesday brought a completely different wobble. True to my Lifepath 11/2, there was almost an Olympic leap into overreaction. If you’ve got a 2 anywhere prominent in your chart, you’ll probably know exactly what I mean. It doesn’t take much for insecurity to creep in and start rearranging the furniture in your mind.
This time, it was because another numerologist I genuinely admire started using the word ‘codes.’
I can hear you laughing already, but it’s true – that’s all it took to flick my switch!
Honestly, for a brief moment I was internally spiralling.‘Hang on a minute…, didn’t I have Creative Codes first?’
Thankfully, age, experience and a reasonable level of self-awareness kicked in fairly quickly. I recognised my own ridiculousness, gave myself an internal talking-to, and wished him nothing but success. There’s room for all of us. Besides… while my ego was having a wobble, the ladies over at Soul Shift Studio had all collectively gone Labradorite mad, and frankly that was far more exciting.
Wednesday rolled in carrying personal day 6 energy — home, family, beauty, nurturing — and apparently DIY hysteria. I somehow clocked over 14k steps, cut the grass, helped build a fence and painted an outdoor table bright pink!
Because if you’re going to spiral through middle age (ish), you may as well do it colourfully.
Thursday arrived with more ‘unexpected excitement.’
Scooby — our giant breed puppy and part-time demolition expert — launched himself at the patio fly screen like an escaped rhinoceros, ripping a hole clean through the middle in his desperate attempt to get inside.
The reason?
He had somehow managed to wedge a hard wooden twig between the roof of his mouth and his jaw.
Honestly, the drama in this house sometimes feels professionally scripted.
After trying every possible method to remove it, we eventually reached the stage where Stephen appeared holding pliers while I prepared myself emotionally for canine dentistry. Thankfully, one final determined finger tug released it.
The relief was enormous. Scooby survived. The fly screen did not.
My afternoon, thankfully, became calmer. No online work. No pressure. Just a little annual ‘pre-summer maintenance.’
You know the sort.
The glamorous life of a sixty-something woman preparing for warmer weather. Nose hairs clipped, legs shaved, eyebrows reassessed under brutal bathroom lighting… not to mention the dreaded ‘magnifying mirror’. Honestly, by the time I emerged, I felt like a refurbished semi-detached property ready for market.
Friday felt like a genuine win.
A fellow online creator offered a completely free 73-page chakra guide — and given how deeply I’ve been working with chakra energy lately, it felt like absolute synchronicity. I love moments like that. Little divine nods that whisper,‘Yes love… keep going.’
And now here we are, at Saturday.
I often sit and recap my week and end up mildly stunned by how much actually happens. I don’t feel like a chaotic person… but the evidence suggests otherwise. 😊
Tell me something - honestly — how was your week? The highs, the lows, the ridiculous moments nobody would believe if you wrote them down? Please share in the comments. It genuinely makes me feel less alone in my own beautiful circus world.
Anyway, we decided Saturday would officially be a day off. No renovations. No online work. No ‘must-do’ lists.
Apparently the Ascended Masters didn’t get the memo…, not that I’m complaining.
The moment I paused… they arrived.
I could feel guidance pouring in almost immediately. What I thought was going to be a simple little offer called ‘Something’s Stirring’ (I mentioned it last week), suddenly began evolving into something entirely different. Bigger. More meaningful. More magical.
Honestly, it felt less like creating and more like receiving instructions from the universe while trying to drink coffee.
Something is shifting. Properly shifting.
And whilst I’m still catching up with the ideas myself, I want you to think about this…
You’re sitting quietly with a cup of coffee and suddenly the thoughts arrive:
Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? Why can’t I settle?Why do I feel unseen?Why do I feel stuck?Why does life sometimes feel like it’s passing me by while I’m tidying the kitchen?
You get the idea.
So many of us carry these quiet questions around every single day, insidiously draining us..
And that’s exactly why I’m creating this new freebie.
A gentle 5-day experience. Just five minutes a day. No pressure. No impossible transformation promises. Just small meaningful shifts designed to help you reconnect with yourself again.
I’ll be sharing details later this week across all the usual places.
And finally, one last thing before I move on…, and before you have to have a lay down😊. I ended the week with two beautiful long catch-up chats with wonderful friends. The sort of conversations that refill your spirit without you even realising how empty your cup had become.
For that, I feel very blessed.
📚 Midweek Musings – Things I Noticed Last Week
One thing became very clear to me last week — guidance arrives most easily when we stop forcing life quite so hard.
Every day I felt quietly nudged, supported and redirected by the Ascended Masters. Sometimes gently… sometimes with the energetic equivalent of a frying pan to the forehead, LOL (Not that I’ve ever had a frying pan to the head).
I also noticed how beautifully my personal numbers supported me throughout the week. Even the slightly ‘off’ days quickly rebalanced themselves once I stopped resisting the lesson hidden underneath the irritation, insecurity or chaos.
And perhaps that’s the thing about numerology that people often miss.
The numbers aren’t here to create perfect lives. They’re here to help us understand the rhythm of our lives.
Some days are productive. Some are emotional.Some involve vinegar-soaked raspberries and emergency twig removal from giant dogs.
All equally valid.
💻 A Productive Friday… or So I Thought
Friday began with every intention of being sensible and organised.
You know the kind of day. Lists written. Laptop charged. Brain pretending to function professionally.
Three hours later I had seventeen tabs open, a notebook full of ‘inspired ideas,’ half-read chakra material, and absolutely no memory of the original task I’d sat down to complete.
Universal truth: spiritually curious women cannot simply ‘quickly check one thing online.’
It’s impossible.
🧳 Saturday – Service with a capitol ‘S’ & Ideas that won’t sit still.
Saturday carried Universal 6 energy with my own personal day 9 humming underneath it — and honestly, that combination felt like standing with one foot in the rose garden, and the other leading a ‘no more plastic’ protest!
The plan was rest. The reality was revelation.
Funny how often that happens.
☕ A Question for You…
What’s one thing your soul has been quietly trying to tell you lately… that you’ve perhaps been too busy, distracted or doubtful to fully hear?
Sometimes the whispers come softly. Sometimes they arrive disguised as exhaustion, restlessness, irritation or longing.
And sometimes… they arrive as raspberries in a mop bucket.
The universe has range. 😊
🔢 The Numbers for the Week Ahead
Let’s have a little peek at what the numbers are cooking up for us this week.
Numerology Snapshot – 11–17 May
Monday – Universal Day 8A powerful energy for achievement, productivity, finances and getting things sorted. Excellent for tackling practical matters… although possibly less excellent for online shopping ‘just because you deserve it’, (MUTE the ‘T**U)
It’s also apparently ‘Eat What You Want Day.’ The universe said:‘Manifest abundance… and maybe cake.’ LOL.
Tuesday – Universal Day 9Emotional clearing. Reflection. Letting go. You may feel more sensitive than usual or suddenly realise you’ve outgrown something — a habit, a belief, a situation… or perhaps a pair of jeans after Monday’s cake festival!
Wednesday – Universal Day 1Fresh starts and brave little leaps forward. Ideal for beginning something new, having important conversations or finally doing the thing you’ve been overthinking for six months. What a shame my ‘Something’s Stirring’ left the scene.
Thursday – Universal Day 2Gentler energy arrives. Cooperation, intuition, emotional awareness and connection. A beautiful day for meaningful conversations and quiet harmony.
Friday – Universal Day 3Joyful expressive energy. Creativity, laughter, socialising and communication all flow more easily.
And wonderfully, it’s also ‘Bring Flowers to Someone Day.’
How lovely would it be if we all did that? Even a single flower. Even a wild one picked from the garden. Actually, hop over to: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10161500192423548&set=p.10161500192423548 and leave a flower pic. It can be one of your own pics, an AI created pic, a searched image… Small gestures shift energy in enormous ways: the ladies will love them.
If you do give a flower to someone special in your own circle — share a picture. I’d absolutely love that. 🌻
Saturday – Universal Day 4Back to structure, practical tasks and sorting life out. The perfect day for catching up on jobs you’ve been avoiding while pretending not to notice them.
Sunday – Universal Day 5Freedom, spontaneity, curiosity and change.
And beautifully, it’s also World Baking Day. Honestly, this feels gloriously 5-ish to me. Experimenting. Trying something new. Making a mess creatively and hoping for the best.
I’m tempted to attempt a healthier Yorkshire Parkin recipe without losing that glorious sticky familiarity. Whether this becomes a triumph or a tray of disappointment remains to be seen. Ha Ha. Pics to follow.
Think colour. Think freshness. Think herbs, fruits, mint, citrus, movement and playful experimentation.
Universal 5 energy rarely wants us to stay stuck in routine.
Even changing one tiny thing can wake your spirit up again.
✨ Overall Energy of the Week Ahead
This week feels like movement after stagnation. Quiet awakenings. Little nudges toward change.
Not necessarily dramatic overnight transformation… but definitely the feeling that something inside many of us is beginning to stir.
And honestly?
About time too don’t you think?
🌻 Final Thoughts
Life rarely unfolds in neat straight lines.
Sometimes it arrives covered in vinegar, Labradorite dust, paint splatters and dog slobber. Sometimes it whispers guidance through chaos. Sometimes it completely reroutes your carefully made plans.
But even in the messiest weeks, there’s meaning. There’s movement.There’s magic.
Thank you, as always, for being here with me each week — for reading, sharing, laughing and gently journeying alongside me.
And remember… if life feels a little out of sync lately, you’re probably closer to change than you realise.
