My grandmother had triskaidekaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th. (Yes, I learned a new word today, and no, I canโ€™t pronounce it! She had a few bad Friday the 13thโ€™s and she was never fond of it again. I personally have always enjoyed Friday the 13th, even when she didnโ€™t. Her mindset couldnโ€™t have helped!

Fun Fact: My brother was born on Friday the 13th, and there were a whole lot of 13โ€™s associated with his birthday! Times, room numbers, etc! Pretty neat really! Unless you were my grandma, who was desperately hoping he would be born on the 12th, not the 13th! Honestly, though, it fits him!

A lot of cultures actually see Friday the 13th as lucky, a time of rebirth, change, and transformation. For some, those things can be scary, especially when they feel like upheavalโ€ฆ But I think thatโ€™s the point.

Growth is chaotic. Rebirth is Messy!

If thatโ€™s the case, then honestly? The past five years have been one long Friday the 13th. And weโ€™re still here! Shoot, our whole lives, which brings me to my finale point!

Some folks use the energy of today to lean into the shadows & speed up their own transformation.

Enlightening, not scary
