Amber's Rant:

This is #13 of 52 episodes for 2022! So many people think of 13 as an unlucky number, though honestly I have always loved this number! 13 has been skipped in buildings and avoided on ships for many years, though it seems to be happening less these days. Friday the 13th has a bad wrap, though if you look deeper into our known history, Friday was Freya's day, and 13 was her number, so Friday the 13th once upon a time was actually a day especially for love and family, as Freya was the goddess of those things.

Also, 13 = 4 in numerology, which is truly my absolute favourite number. I wonder how many people stop and think about their favourite numbers – ever wonder why people like some numbers and not others?

Perhaps a good topic of conversation to bring up next time you are hanging out with family and friends – of course with the media's offline for a while! Enjoy your spring breaks coming up everyone with kids who are kids!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.
