VERY SPECIAL MONTH

August is a very special month in our family. 57 years ago on August 8th, both Elfa and I said, “I do”. And then on this month 44 years ago, we immigrated to the United States. August was also a month when 39 years ago, my wife and I started our mortgage brokerage business, Pacific Bay Financial. I am grateful for all three of these events which happened in our lives and call them blessings.

Each event reflects the number which has a specific meaning in numerology. Online I learned that the number 8 is associated with infinity, and represents authority, self-confidence, inner-strength, social status and ego. This year there are actually three number 8’s. By adding the individual numbers in 2024, we have another number 8.Number 57 (the number of years we’ve been married) signifies change, transformation and spiritual growth, but when you add the numbers 5 and 7, you get the number 12, which signifies perfection, entirety or cosmic order. Of course, number twelve consists of 8 + 4, where number 4 signifies what was solid, what could be touched and felt.

Number 44 carries the spiritual meaning of strength, self-discipline, balance, positive energy and achievement. And 4 + 4 adds up to the number 8. The last number 39 is an auspicious symbol of guidance, protection and divine intervention in our lives. And of course, 3 + 9 is again, 12.

Is your head spinning from all these numbers? Mine is. Perhaps, all of these numbers is just trivia information, however, for me it means that you and I are fortunate to be here and now and to enjoy every day regardless of the number.

To stay with The Number Four theme, I am including 4 images of beautiful Matilija poppy flowers. By the way, the word Matilija has 8 letters.
