08.22.2022. Numerologists tell us that the number 2 is the most powerful of the 9 numbers. It is a feminine force which represents both grace and power always aiming to bring peach and balance to relationship situations. Five 2s should mean a good day lies ahead. It’s Be an Angel Day, National Bao Day, National Eat a Peach Day, National Pecan Torte Day, National Tooth Fairy Day, Take Your Cat to the Vet Day, and World Plant Milk Day. Peaches and cashew milk? Maybe. Now to what our ancestors did on this day. On this day in 1775 King George III proclaimed the colonies to be in open rebellion. On this day in 1791 the Haitian slave revolt began. Thousands of slaves lead by a voodoo priest started killing their masters and plundering the island of Saint-Dominque. They won. This is the only uprising in history that resulted in a new state. On this day in 1865 William Sheppard was issued the first US Patent for liquid soap. This is the day in 1901 that the Cadillac Motor Company was founded. On this day in 1941 Nazi troops reached Leningrad. On this day in 1956 Eisenhower and Nixon were renominated by Republican convention in San Francisco. The dead person today is the novelist Ray Bradbury who died in 2012. Ray observed “Television is very dangerous. It repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.” “Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.” “Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.” Last one: “The years go by. The time, it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes. And it seems like nothing – but when you’re looking back… well, it amounts to everything.” Abide.
