I was able to accomplish those things from my plush little sofa in a short amounts of time.<\/p>\n<p>Which helped me to better embrace my time with family, to accept and fully internalize apologies, to be open to the miracles that exist in personal growth, to continue to see the beauty of life around me, and to once again pay tribute to the unconditional love that is my soul&#8217;s epicenter.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had places to go and be, a party to prepare, bills to pay, and life to live&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Most of my photos are of repeating numbers that Warren and I are seeing with uncanny and overlapping regularity&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m amassing a list of events for future research, but regardless of what I find, these Angel Numbers as they&#8217;re called, are providing Hubby and I stimulating conversations about coincidence, chance, and divinity&#8217;s many forms.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most consistent patterns I see is the number 222, which I&#8217;ve come to associate with the tagline: <em>Everything&#8217;s going to be okay<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While adding some social media updates before writing this post I saw that sequence magnified in the biggest strand I&#8217;ve seen yet: 22222. The more numbers in the sequence, the stronger the vibration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/22222-Everythings-Going-to-Be-Okay-Image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-5773 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/22222-Everythings-Going-to-Be-Okay-Image-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"22222 Everything's Going to Be Okay Image\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/22222-Everythings-Going-to-Be-Okay-Image-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/22222-Everythings-Going-to-Be-Okay-Image-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/22222-Everythings-Going-to-Be-Okay-Image.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everything will always be okay, if we choose it, Journeyer&#8230;and that wisdom brings me great comfort and joy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One of the neatest experiences this week, however, appeared in a cloud.<\/p>\n<p>You may recall that a few months back my family had to make the painful decision to end our beloved pet&#8217;s suffering.<\/p>\n<p>We had just shy of thirteen wonderful years of memories and routine associated with our Husky-Malamute named Thunder.
