It’s Official! Split Ends is Coming 5/23/23!

It’s coming!!!  My memoir Split Ends is officially going to be published on 5/23/23.  Mark your calendars to buy it!  It’s exactly three months away!

I picked this date for the symbolism of the numbers.  2+3=5.  So this, in sequence, can be read as 555.  I have posted that this date is my “to be published” date on other platforms and have gotten many comments about how amazing the symbolism is. For this number sequence.

What does 555 mean?  It means a variety of things.  “The spiritual meaning of angel number 555 is often seen as a message of significant change and new beginnings, as well as encouragement and support from your angels or a higher power. The number 5, which appears three times in 555, is associated with major life changes and the ability to make choices and embrace new opportunities.”

If that doesn’t sum up the impact of Split Ends coming out, I don't know what does.  This is a time in my life that brings huge changes and a new beginning.  I have huge aspirations and want to turn this all into a career.  I want to do speaking engagements, retreats and events, coaching, and I even have plans for more books to publish.  I am tired of corporate America.  In fact, I hate it.  I can’t wait to transition out of it onto my own.  

Is this scary?  Hell yes!  I have put it off for years because of the fear that comes with it.  Will my income be the same?  No idea.  Will I fail?  Possibly.  Will it be the best thing that I could ever do for myself at this time in my life?  Absolutely! The thing about fears is that they hold us back.  Making a big life change is scary, but living with regrets is always scarier.  I’m no longer allowing myself to live that way.

As many of you know, I’ve wanted to help people my entire life. Since becoming sober, I have taken classes to become a Certified Addiction Counselor.  I was offered a job in a rehab facility, but it wasn’t the right fit for me at the time.  I have taken a huge leap of faith and registered to become a certified Holistic Coach with a SHE RECOVERS® Coach Designation.  From this link, you can see more details about the coaching program.  It states, in part, “the mission of Holistic Coach Training Institute is to train and empower conscious professionals to become informed and embodied Holistic Coaches who empower others to realize and actualize their full potential in all areas of their life encompassing the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.”

This is exactly what I want to be doing, along with the dual designation of recovery coaching.  I can start my own coaching business that collaborates with my already established book and social media platforms.  I have even been invited to host a retreat in Peru, which I am looking to do within the next 1-2 years.  Things are already happening, and I am embracing these new opportunities, just as 555 implies.

Another huge numerical symbol in my life happens to be my birth number.  Guess what that is?  You got it!  The number 5.  To find out your birth number, write down your month, day, year of birth.  Mine is 2.16.1985.  Add each number together one at a time.  2+1+6+1+9+8+5=32.  Now take those two numbers and add them together.  3+2=5.  That is your birth number.

Each birth number has a different meaning.  NUMBER 5: To give energy and life. To help others accept challenges and changes. To use energy wisely.  I will be doing all of these things in my new career, in my personal life, and in my relationships.  If you want more information about numerology, I recommend this course, which is what I did to learn all of this.  Feel free to reach out to me for questions as well.

There are so many more ideas that I could elaborate on regarding 555, my birth number, and signs and symbols that I find in my life.  I find this all fascinating and am a true believer.  My spirituality has changed and grown in ways I never thought were possible since starting my journey in recovery.  I plan to pass my knowledge on and help others grow.

5/23/23 is a huge and important date for me.  I can’t wait for Split Ends to come out to help make some of my aspirations and dreams come true.  It is the scariest thing I have done to date as it is completely raw, honest, and vulnerable.  I go into details of my life that were hard and devastating, but I got through them.  I hope you get something out of the book when you read it. Keep me updated and be sure to leave reviews when it comes out (positive ones, duh).  😝
