Wishing You a Lucky 13

I would like to start this post by saying that I am not generally a superstitious person. For example, I did not feast on collard greens and black eyed peas for New Year’s yesterday (if you’re from the South you know these dishes are served—almost religiously—on the first of the year to bring prosperity and good fortune). That said, I can’t help but share my positive feelings for the year ahead.

Over the years, the number 13 has brought me good fortune and I believe it will do the same for you this year.  I encourage you to embrace the New Year with positive feelings and let go of any negative energy that was holding you back in 2012. Focus on all the opportunities yet to come instead of mishaps from 2012. An exercise we practice in our corporate wellness program is reassessing our vision each year and creating quarterly goals to help us move in the right direction. Each quarter brings an exciting challenge and an opportunity to start anew.

I know that many do not share my feelings for the number 13 but I found a few interesting facts about this number I’d like to share with you…

• The moon moves 13 degrees around the earth every day and it takes 13 days to change from a full moon to a new moon.


• There were 13 individuals at the last supper counting Jesus and the twelve disciples.


• America began as 13 original colonies


• Boys become men in Judaism at the age of 13


• My new favorite workout song, “I Knew You Were Trouble” is by Taylor Swift, who’s favorite number happens to be 13


• In ancient Greece, Zeus was counted as the 13^th and most powerful god


• If you breakdown the numbers, one symbolizes the creation and unity, while three symbolizes completion and order

So with that, I hope you have come to reconsider any ill feelings you may have about this number and coming year. I truly wish you a happy New Year and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things and success to come!

Welcome, 2013!

Welcome all to this perfect new year, with all its possibilities, opportunities, lessons and blessings. We woke up today. Our eyes opened to sight. We first witnessed the dependable roof and then we recognized our own cozy warmth. We took another breath as our heart continued its faithful beating. We stirred from the comfort of our bed and let our loyal feet hit the ground creating our daily foundation. Our ears were blessed with the sounds of loved ones, cherished pets and the birds outside. Our nose was seduced by the smell of reliably, brewing coffee. Our hands stroked the soft faces of innocent children as they slept in their safe beds and our lips gently kissed our beloved. We started our morning with nourishment and clean water, for which we did not labor. We had access to the world immediately and learned about our far away neighbors.

It is a new day, and a new year—one that stands on the shoulders of 2012. We were given the gift of 365 previous days that brought us to today. We can hold 2012 in our hearts as a gift of experience, wisdom and another path along the road of this wondrous journey we call life. Today we have life. And, as with any other day, we have the choice of how we want to live our life today. We can allow our minds to dwell in the resentments and negative ruminations or we can let it follow the shiny lure into abundant consciousness. We can allow our minds and spirits to fall with abandon into hope and love—wallow in possibility and wonder. 

Yes, it’s a new year. I can’t wait to spend it with you. Welcome!
