John's Intro:

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Amber's Rant:

This is #22 of 52 episodes for 2022! There are so many 2's for this episode! Episode 562, 22nd show of 52 shows for the year, year 2022, SO MANY 2's!

Once again, I shall bring a little info forward on numerology: 2 represents both grace and power, is cooperative, always aiming to bring peace and balance back to a relationship or situation. Two is also very sensitive, and is considered to be the strongest representation of intuition of all the numbers. The number also represents balance – perhaps today will be a well balanced day!

Remember to balance your work and social life, and to balance your life between socials, news, family and friends! Two is a great number to keep in mind when thinking about your plans for the weekend.
