How did I think of a name for my small business?
It's a question I have been asked many times. I know some people have a hard time thinking of a name for their new business, for me it wasn't as tough as I had expected. TwentyEight Healing was one of the first names that came to me when I decided it was time for change, and then it was born.
It made perfect sense. My whole drive to become a more aligned and harmonious human all comes down to one person, my daughter. The date she graced this world with her presence was the 28th.
Becoming a mother really gave me life. Growing up I struggled to find my place as a young woman, I battled throughout my teens and twenty's with anxiety, depression and trauma. Back then I didn't feel good most days, I was trying to navigate through life and find myself. Really I was just dragging myself through. I knew nothing about self love, boundaries or focusing on my mental health without using prescribed medication. My daughter arrived when I was 20 year old and I knew in my heart I had to grow to understand who I was, there was so much more to learn and teach my daughter in the years to come.
Fast forward and all these years later, the love I have found for myself, my womb and how my daughter's life began there still amazes me. ( I do understand the birds and the bees). Over the past 7 years I have been working through my healing, my shadows and personal growth. The respect and understanding I have for my mind, body and soul has really changed the way I viewed myself, my wellbeing and everything around me. I'm now a lot more aware of how everything effects our energy from the moon to our childhood and our menstrual cycle. These days I try not to beat myself up every time I'm having a low day chance are its just my period hiding around the corner. Fun fact the average menstrual cycle last 28 days.
Another deciding factor for choosing the name is, simply it is my number. When I say that, I mean I literally see it all the time. From on the clock as I write this post to showing up on receipts, signs or around me every single day, everywhere. I believe number repetition is a sign from our higher guides.
I plan to delve deeper into the meanings behind this number as it intrigues me plus I still feel a little confused as to why I see it so much. I'd love to know more, I'm a believer in “what comes to you is for a reason” whether that be for a blessing or a lesson. So cliché.
I for sure have had many blessings in my life linked to the number 28, so far I love it, I love how much I have grown into myself and that I'm learning to be authentically myself a little more each day, I'm passing on the knowledge to my daughter to find her own path and love herself fearlessly. I believe this number has a much deeper meaning for my family and I, so I am welcoming it.
