By Renée Starr,
Life is full of events that block, stop and slow us down. The events themselves are actually neutral and it is how we handle these events that brings us either happiness or unhappiness. Did you ever wonder how the people in the public eye handle their own ups and downs? On the outside it’s all glitter and glam, but what’s really going on with them as a person-not as a celebrity?

Numerology is one way to take a peek beneath the surface, and see the numerical influences of your life based on the name you received at birth, the name you now use and the day you were born. While numerology will certainly provide powerful insight, it’s what you do with this insight that is most powerful. To illustrate this, let’s look at a dynamic celebrity talent and see what’s behind her actions! Fran Drescher was born Fran Joy Drescher on September 30th,1957. According to numerology her Life Path number is 34/7: showing her to be a searcher and a seeker of truth who is very capable of handling all of life’s challenges. You can see this amazing ability in her brave fight with cancer in June, 2000 and the subsequent birth of her second book Cancer Schmancer and the Cancer Schmancer Movement. Her true nature is to turn the negative into the positive.

Fran’s Expression number is 20/2: close relationships are essential to her happiness. She is highly creative, deeply insightful and she has a practical solution to any problems that arise in her life. She is a go-getter! You can see this express itself in her politics, having been appointed Public Diplomacy Envoy for Women’s Health Issues in September, 2008. Her Heart’s Desire number is 13/4: work is central to her life, but she has a tendency towards overworking. Her high level of energy is what drives her career and it is in this way that she can accomplish a great deal in a short amount of time. She has been honored with numerous achievement awards, her most recent being the City of Hope Spirit of Life Award presented to her by Senator Hillary Clinton. Ms. Drescher is certainly inspiring!

But, how can you make the most of every situation in your own life? Here are three ways that you can start to make a splash, strengthen your life’s purpose and turn even the most trying situation into a winning event; 1. Create believable, positive affirmations. Affirmations have a funny way of working on the subconscious mind, redirecting negative, old patterns of thinking and creating new thought patterns. The key is to use believable affirmations. 2. Write about your experiences. Start a blog about how you overcame a break-up, how you got your dream job or even how you finally trained your dog to sleep late only on Sundays. 3. Become a mentor. Everyone is good at something and chances are someone wants to learn from you. Helping to inspire another creates a sense of well being in ourselves. Wherever you are in your life is where you are supposed to be, as all things are in order on a Divine level. Enjoy being you! Please feel free to write in and ask questions. They will be answered.
