Hello, my friend. Welcome back. I am so happy to spend this time with you today. Before we get started, I just have one super quick announcement, and that is we have bonus shopping hours this month. So May 30th, it's a Saturday. We will be open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and I'll be here doing mini readings, mini energy healings, and so you can come and receive one of those, and you can also shop. And we have tons of crystals and bracelets, essential oils, candles, smudge sprays, um, natural beauty products, books, all of the things that just bring more magic to our lives. So come and enjoy some time here, and I can't wait to see you then. And I have one little fun story I want to share with you before we dive into our really uplifting and beautiful topic today. So I was at Roll King the other day, and when I'm there, I am on a mission to go see the baby chicks and the baby ducks while my husband does like the real shopping. And so I'm over just looking at the cutie little chicks and ducks, and I see this huge bin of dog bones nearby. These bones were so, so massive. I've never seen a dog bone this size ever before. And so I picked one up and it was so heavy, and I thought to myself, oh my gosh, this will be hysterical. My dogs won't even be able to lift these, and they'll love it. They'll be so excited when I come home with these massive dog bones. And so I got two and I came home and I gave them to my girls, and sure enough, they could not lift them. I had to put them out into the grass, and then they just laid down and they chewed on them for a while. And then, you know, we did other things that day, and the dog bones got left outside, which honestly they belonged outside because they were very messy. But we woke up the next morning and the dog bones were missing, and I so I got onto our cameras and I was looking through the night. Okay, what happened to the dog bones? And it was like a scene from a cartoon. Over the night, a huge raccoon came and he took us cutie little raccoon hands, and he picks up both of these bones that are literally bigger than he is, and he carries them away. Can you believe that? He must be in like raccoon heaven. He must be so excited. And honestly, I'm excited for him. My dog's probably not so much excited for him, but I just imagine him like in his little raccoon house with these enormous dog bones and him just being so incredibly happy. It just makes me laugh. Today, let's talk about angel numbers. I know so many of you in our sanctuary community see these angel numbers, and today just want to have a fun conversation about how we tend to experience them, what they are, and what they mean for us. Because I remember when I first started seeing angel numbers years and years ago, I overthought them and I was confused by them. And what I love so much is that right before I pressed record for this episode, I glanced at the clock and guess what time it was? 1111. 1111 is a super, super common angel number. So maybe you see 1111 and you're just not quite sure what it means, or maybe when you glance at the clock, you tend to see 222, or you get a receipt from the grocery store and the total is $33.33, or you wake up and it's 5.55, or you keep seeing the number. Um, let's see, I see 1005 a lot. That's my birthday, so maybe you see your birthday quite a lot, or I see um the address of the home that I grew up in, 1121 quite a lot, or I have like other significant numbers that I see repeated all the time for me. So it could be a number that you see that's very specific and special to you, or it could just be a number that repeats. And we tend to see or notice a lot of the um repeated single digits. So it would be like 111, 222, 333, and so on and so forth. So when we see these numbers, what in the world are they trying to tell us? Well, I began my journey with angel numbers by looking up every single number that I saw and making a list of it and then trying to like string them together into like some sort of novel that would help me like understand my life. But to be honest, looking back, that's very much overcomplicating it. And if that's what you do, that's okay, it can be really helpful. But after I saw these angel numbers for quite a long time, I've come to realize that to me they just mean something a little different now. So today, most times when I see angel numbers, it is a sign that I am in a state of coherence. And coherence is that wonderful state where our mind, our body, our emotions, our energy, it's all working together in harmony. It's that feeling when we're really present, we're open, connected, we feel very calm, but very alive. Our heart is nice and steady, our mind is soft and clear, we're in that flow of life, we're not fighting against it, we're not too in our mind, we're just in that coherent state of flow. And so, in my experience, angel numbers tend to appear when I'm in that wonderful state, and when we're in that state of coherence, that is when we tend to experience synchronicities. And angel numbers very much are synchronistic, right? So when I see an angel number, I am so grateful. I say thank you so much, and typically I feel like a bubble of joy. It's like a hug from the universe or life itself that just says, Hey, you're doing such a good job. Your awareness is open, your energy is flowing, you're connected, you're feeling that oneness, which is funny because seeing this and feeling it and recognizing it and giving gratitude for this creates more of this in our life. So it's almost like the most beautiful circle of events that only amplifies our state of coherence, or I guess would sustain our state of coherence. So if I could go back and tell my past version of myself a piece of advice about angel numbers, it would be don't stress about it, don't overthink it, just say thank you. Personally, I feel like all of life is communicating with us from the trees to the animals to the winds to the angel numbers. These are all whispers. And when we're overwhelmed or stressed or dissociated or rushing, or we have that constant mental noise, we can miss so much magic that's all around us, that's with us and guiding us. The things that make life truly worth living. But when we slow down a little bit and we breathe and we choose to be more present, we see the patterns, we see the deeper meanings, we see and feel our connection, and we notice those signs, those synchronicities. And it's such a miraculous place to be able to live your life from. So I invite you the next time you see an angel number, instead of rushing to Google to figure out what it means, just take a deep breath. Say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and feel joy for the connection that you share with all of life. Now I do want to pull a card from my angel numbers deck, of course. But before I do, I just want to talk about one other reason why I think we may see angel numbers, and you'll have to let me know if this resonates. So I have to wonder if deep somewhere within us, when we see some of these numbers, could it be almost like coding from our soul or the universe or our whole self? I don't know, like um kind of like coding something into our subconscious. It's like our subconscious understands what these patterns of numbers mean and they help us in some way. So I don't know if that makes any sense to you or if you've had thoughts like that too. And again, I don't think that there's anything we need to do, but it's almost just like subtle messages helping us along the way or delivering messages to us in ways that we don't consciously quite understand. All right, and with that said, let's pull an angel number. So today I'm using the angel numbers deck, and this deck is by Mystic Michaela. I really love this deck. Alright, let's see what we get. Alright, what angel number is here to help us today, our beautiful sanctuary community. Let's pull. Okay. Our number today is 986. And this card says, practice saying no. Your angels want to alert you to your tendency to confuse yes with no, and they're asking you to stop. People know that you have a hard time not doing what they ask you to, and they have been taking advantage. It's time to say no confidently. So, 10 times today, look in a mirror and practice saying no. Here's my little two cents about this. Saying no is something that has been a struggle for me in the past. In some ways, I still struggle with it. We all do, we're human, right? One thing that really helped me start to be able to say no is when I recognized that what people were asking was not reciprocal or it didn't align with me, or maybe I just didn't want to do it, I would respond in a very light-hearted manner and I would say, I can't take that on today, and I would just leave. I wouldn't leave any opportunity for me to stand there and have a conversation about it because I know that I would be easily swayed or I would start feeling really guilty for no reason. So if you struggle with saying no, try to say no in a very lighthearted manner and then just walk away. You say what you mean and you go. You leave. You walk away, you say no, thank you, and you walk away or you change the subject. You don't have to justify or explain your no. I have particularly realized that I justify or explain my no's, especially in emails. So I will say no to something and then I'll explain for paragraph as to why it's a no, and then I literally go back and I delete that paragraph and I just leave it at no. It's a full sentence, and it's not coming from a place of being rude. None of this is, it's just being confident in your boundaries, and it's respecting yourself. I do want to just lay a little breadcrumb. I have a really fun giveaway coming up really, really soon. So follow Sanctuary with Ashley on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and I will be posting the giveaway there. I really think it's a giveaway you're gonna want to enter. All right, that's all for now. Have a beautiful, beautiful day full of synchronicity and coherent flow. Okay, bye for now.
