USA 250 birthday. A time for us to celebrate that we are lucky to be part of this great country.

CROSSROADS

We look through the window
To see the different paths
And roads we have traveled
Merging into one
Showing us
The past in the present 

For a moment we pause
Embracing the beauty of it all
Clinging to this day
Before it is snatched away


Sometimes change is fulfilling  
Other times we feel dismay
Either way
It doesn’t matter
The owl still screeches
The wind stirs
Children play… Life unfolds…
Our seasons come and go
Love is endless.

TIME DOESN’T DIE  
 
Everything around us fades
Our relationships transform
Our bodies wane
Our memories lose their impact
Our information becomes redundant
And
Some of us could feel
That our lives have become colorless
 
Not giving up
Can keep us youthful
And while we are on this earth
There is time… time does not die
 
Move forward with a childlike wonder
To connect your heart to another
An effort worth approaching.

A LIFELONG PRACTICE
LISTEN WHEN YOU WANT TO SHOUT
FORGIVE WHEN YOU WANT TO PUNISH

WE WERE GIVEN ONE LIFE
WHAT KIND OF LIFE WOULD 
THAT BE IF WE SAT AND DID NOTHING

FOLLOW WHAT YOU KNOW IN YOUR
HEART IS RIGHT,
EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD BE REJECTED.  

THE WORLD SHIFTS
 
Our existence is like living
In a time-machine
Shifting…
Putting us on unfamiliar ground
And without noticing
We may wonder
How did we get left behind
 
Hold onto each fleeting moment
Without fear
Drink in the light of the now
Realize…
Today is tomorrow’s memory
And
While Earth’s time-machine
Guides us toward another uncharted territory    
Celebrate today
Before the breath of “YOU” and “I” are part of time past.   © Doris Ann Bridgehouse

DROPS OF TIME is a composite of life's journey and is meant to be read as an individual experience (IN THE FIRST PERSON) to give an insight on how it feels to walk in another person's shoes. 

It also shows how one internalizes the DROPS OF TIME in life and how it effects
​the connection to one's relationships.  

NOTE THE DIFFERENT ICONS FOR EACH NUMBER. Eric Scopolitti designed this book cover.

February, March, April and July: Emphasizes usefulness 

The mind is a wonderful thing. Learn something new about yourself and others. This act is a new stepping stone to realization...have fun with it. 

GENERAL  MONTHLY VIBRATION 
This is an intellectual month full of overthinking and wondering. Some things seem so important that you may jump the gun and make a mess of a situation. Take time to hold back. This is a thinking month, so think things out like you never had before. Give yourself the royal treatment. Listen to what your needs are and then follow through. You tend to be contented and step in the background. The scenery around you gives you an uplift or puts a damper on your mood. You may feel less outgoing, although you will feel more curious and sassier than usual. New personality traits attract you--a shy smile, a sure-sounding voice, someone who stands out from the crowd. The better you articulate your position on things, the better you feel. You may add a few more skills to your arsenal. That is a good thing. Rest when needed, even if that timing makes you say "NO" or you are late to functions.  
The 7 vibrations also pertain to self-reflection and self-knowledge. This is the month to understand one's motives and one's place in this world...more than sharing what one knows. By turning inward (in a spiritual sense) those who are on the outside want in, and those who are the inside what out.  I observe this vibration with a cat like 
quality. You are alone in your own thoughts, watching others, and sometimes have little fits of jealousy. You can't stand nagging of any sort. Rebelling will be your middle name. This is the month to get something done and get it done right. These simple decisions new will create a huge impact down the line. Wisdom tends to come from strange sources and sometimes not in the most pleasant packaging. If you are criticized, think about the comment later. Change what you can. Don't waste time blowing off a situation. It won't resolve itself. Sometimes one must see that someone else's problems are also your problems. Sometimes you feel any type of communication is a hopeless endeavor. Express your uncertainties with an unusual friend. There is a chance to unearth compassion in others that were not there before. This month pushes you into drastic physiological changes and new interesting modalities. Your timing could be fabulous.  

PERSONAL MONTHLY VIBRATION 
                    IF YOU HAVE THE NUMBER 7 YOUR NAME OR BIRTHDAY NUMBERS
Those of you that have a 7 in your identification grid or name may feel like you are orbiting around your life. Somewhat of an outsider, yet you’re still trying to put your foot on the ground. Don't expect anyone to understand you.  At this point, you are gathering data in life mysterious. This is where you thrive. And this is where few can go. Attend to your projects that are a must. Also, try not to overdo it, and get plenty of rest. More than usual. You evaluate and then crash. Honesty about how you feel is a must, otherwise you'll be causing hard feelings that can't be fixed. You have a lot to offer. This is a time for you.... explore.... explore.  Odds dreams will be another sign of your unique adventures.   
 This vibration can be the hardest for others to understand. You may be seen as stepping out of the box without warning those around you. Your quiet mystique can explode without reason (that’s what others may think). Suddenly, you're not recognizable. As much as people love your laid-back persona, they can be upset because you don't care to share your most intimate thoughts. This is doubly so currently. At times, you feel like a stranger in your own skin. When this happens, it is time to BE ALONE. Take a walk, watch TV, read a book...anything but be ALONE. It will be better for you and for those around you. This month complexities can be tough on those you love. Try to laugh a little and appreciate those around you. Day dreaming helps you relax. Stop feeling guilty. Some things are too absurd to go into crazy mode.  This is not a time to gamble or take chances. All self-improvements must coincide with your highest ideals. Whenever your mind and body scream for you to take a break. It's okay for you to feel turned off by the ordinary...it's so you. Watch health. You look like a shiny star.NUMEROLOGY JULY
MISSING A #7
IF YOU HAVE A SEVEN MISSING IN YOUR NAME OR BIRTH NUMBERS, YOU WILL HAVE TO  PLAN AHEAD BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO A SITUATION. OTHERWISE YOU MAY HAVE PROBELMS WITH LOVE AND HEALTH.
A 1, 3, 5 AND 9 IN YOUR NAME AND BIRTH NUMBERS WILL HELP YOU DISFUSE A LACK OR A 7.

 THIS  UNIVERSAL YEAR IS NUMBER 9.
THE VIBRATION FROM THIS YEAR IS AS FOLLOWS.   

​THIS YEAR VIBRATION #1 PROMOTES
New beginnings give us a chance to let go of the old and bring in the new. I feel this is the only way to move forward. The number one vibration shows that responsibilities with an action must be clear and accurate. There are choices to be made. One can make choices to show that heaven sent us a saint. Or the other end of the coin, through choice, it will feel like someone is being spiteful and mean-spirited because they can.  This is also a year where people will not tolerate ignorance.  
026 UNIVERSAL YEAR #1

UNIVERSAL YEAR, GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT AND GENERAL POPULACE
AWAKENING TO NEW BEGINNINGS
A 1 universal year overcomes past dependencies. Common sense heightens and decisions come about through rational intellectual skills. Fashion may make a drastic change. When the going gets tough, there is an impulse to jump in and work harder to set the correct tone. The so-called imperfections in others cause irritations and some people may act out negatively. An all-over shift toward independence is emphasized on both material possessions and phasing out shopworn ideas. Sources of being a free agent become featured. Individuals and countries desire recognition even when they do not deserve the status. Small companies dissolve as larger conglomerates take the lead.
Individuals may discover a progressive breakthrough, reinvent a forgotten field of creativity or latch onto an idea that greatly alters the future. Prophecies are noted and meaningful events may appear in history books. Health programs will have to be be revised as our country's falls  behind the eight ball with other industrial countries. Serious misunderstanding occur with other governments. Diplomacy must become  a key factor, or there will be some kind of eruption that is not good for anyone. On a light note, there is a chance for new invention to come into focus. It brings tremendous hope.  A time to relinquish old habits throughout the year. Hopefully,  Lady Luck will knock the USA and the world's door. It would be nice if she could unfold her power to noble people for everyone to experience. In this era, it shouldn't be a unique concept.

Number #7

HOW TO FORECAST THE FUTURE  for the 2026 to 2027 Unlike the universal year, the personal year describes individuals’ exclusive yearly trends; it is a piece of a puzzle that fits into a universal year. The personal year (a birthday-to-birthday year) shows one how to pinpoint the best timetable toward relaxation, success and prepare for the mysteries behind an up-coming trend. The year-of-interest are personal years associated with the past or the remote future.
Some numerologists calculate an individual’s personal year from the current calendar year starting January 1. I feel, however, that a personal year should be calculated from birthday to birthday. I take into account that it takes a full year to experience a personal-year vibration. For those individuals whose date-of-birth happens to begin in January, add your birth month, day and the calendar year. Reduce the total to a single digit.
However—for the most part—the majority of individual’s dates-of-birth lag behind the current calendar year, especially if a date-of-birth is toward the middle or end of the year (they have yet to experience a full year). For those individuals, add the birth month, day and the year from your previous birthday.  Reduce the total to a single digit.
Let me reiterate. Your personal year begins on your date of birth. It takes one full year from your date-of-birth to complete a personal-year cycle. Each new personal-year trend shows you how to manifest a different viewpoint. Pay close attention to the master 11 and 22 personal years. Consider each personal year a birthday present from the universe.
***you will be able to chart the same numbers with other years in your life by using the same format. 

(NOTE THAT THE  CALENDAR YEAR MUST START ON A PERSON'S BIRTHDAY.
THEIR PERSONAL-YEAR NUMBER MUST GO TO THE NEXT BIRTHDAY TO MAKE IT A FULL YEAR.)       

Example 1
Let us presume the current calendar year is 2026 and the seeker’s date-of-birth is January 3. Add the month (01), day (03) and the year (2026).
Reduce the total to a single digit.

 January                 01   (Birth month)
Day                    03   (Birth day)
                                              Year        +     2026  (Current Year)                                         
Total               2029  Reduce 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 + 1 +  3 =  2030    Personal-Year Number 5 
Starting January 03, 2026, through January 2, 2027, the personal year is # 5
(January 03, 2026, the new personal year changes to number 5.)


Example  2
Let us presume the subjects date of birth is on December 4, 2025. Add the month (12), the day (4) and the year (2025).
Reduce the total to a single digit.
              December          12   (Birth month)
                                                               Day                    04   (Birth                                                          
Year   2025 
Total   2 + 0 + 4 + 1 = 7   
    
   Personal-Year Number 7
Starting December 4, 2025, through December 3, 2026, the personal year is # 7.
(December 4, 2026, the new personal year changes to a number 8.)
