Number Nine
I read a series of parenting
books once that explained how young children have six month cycles. Every six months
they enter a new phase of being fun and enjoyable followed by six months of tough times and craziness. I’m not sure if it is actually true but at the time, I was grasping
for anything to help me figure out what was happening as I became a mother for
the first time. What I do know, is that being a parent can be pure bliss and joy, and it is also the
most challenging and impossible feat I have ever faced. In all honesty, Eli
have had our fair share of challenges since he was very little. I have
learned that humans grow, evolve, heal and transform in the face of extreme
challenges, so, that makes him my biggest spiritual teacher. I would have
laughed at that before having him, but I have gained a lifetime of personal
wisdom from this old soul. Despite our struggles, Eli and I seem to have a very
strong one-on-one connection sometimes and particularly at this point in time. When we are out of house
and alone together, he is happy, loving, cute (Oops! He hates being called
that, but it slips out every once in a while!), respectful, confident, funny,
and, no joke, I think he's more brave than I am because he has caught bigger
waves than me this winter. ☺️
After many years of being worried about Eli, I can legitimately say I am proud
of who he is and what he is becoming. I officially love this age, nine years
old, and don't want him to grow up!
In thinking about how strong our relationship is right now, at his age of nine years old, and my age of 39, I remembered something significant. In numerology, the number nine represents integrity and wisdom among many other positive and negative qualities. Eli and I both share the number nine as one of our “birth numbers.” The life purpose of a "nine" when they are balanced, is to lead others through teaching and inspire by example, align their life with their heart’s intuitive wisdom, to live in accord with their highest integrity and are here to make a difference in the world. I am no numerology expert but for those who are, I am a 36/9 and Eli is a 19/10. There is a lot more to it and I find this type information reassuring and fascinating. For whatever it is worth, I notice we are as strongly connected now as we were when he was a newborn baby, loving each other’s company. I am going to make a point to get alone time with Eli as much as I can. I’m not sure how long this cycle will last.
