International Labor Day and Numerology
May 1, 2008
Today is May 1st, International Labor Day, for those who care. A Holiday in many countries. Kind of the start of the Summer as well. There is hope in the air around this time of year.
According to the “science” of numerology, our Birth Date describes largely who we are, what we are good at, and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing. To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in your Birth Date together, like in the following example, until there is only one digit between 1 and 9 left.
Now mind you a Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be, it will just color your choices differently and give you a little insight and direction.
For Example babies born today on May 1, 2008 (assuming our calendar is correct!) add up to the following number:
1 + 5 + 2008 = 2014
2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 7.
It really does not make a difference how you add, because every combination will lea to 7 in the end.
Try it: 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 = 16 1+ 6 = 7
Or 01 + 05 + 20 + 08 = 34 3 + 4 = 7
Remember to always keep going until you end up with a single digit number.
So for babies born today the Birth Number is 7.
Now what does 7 mean?

What do these terms really describe in a person? Well check out if you can find yourself back in the following excerpts of qualities and traits:
THE ORIGINATOR - Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural to number 1. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. 1’s are extremely honest and would do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lessons to learn: Others’ ideas might be just as good or better and it’s positive to stay open minded.
(Famous 1’s- Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, and Raquel Welch}
THE PEACEMAKER is the born diplomat. They are aware of others’ needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive, they don’t like to be alone. Friendship and
companionship are very important and can lead them to be successful in life; but, on the other hand, they’d rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship.
Being naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.
{Famous 2’s - Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopie Goldberg, Thomas Edison and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.}
THE LIFE OF THE PARTY are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things but don’t always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.
{Famous 4’s - Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan and Oprah}
THE NONCONFORMIST is the explorer. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often lands them in hot water. They need diversity, and don’t like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop.

They should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.

THE INTELLECTUAL is the searcher. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don’t sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don’t like to be questioned themselves. They’re never off to a fast start, and their motto is ’slow and steady wins the race.’ They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.

They are like
chameleons, ever changing and blending in.
They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.

The Power of Educational Emails
April 30, 2008
I just want to send a heartfelt thanks to all of you for your many educational e-mails over the past several months. I used to be worry free and easy going about a lot of things in life. Thanks to you and the Internet I know better now.
Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel.
I can’t use the remote in a hotel room because I don’t know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.
I can’t sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.
