Crazy Thanksgiving

Thought I would share some of the crazy Thanksgiving facts I found on the internet. I realize this is an American/Canadian holiday, but the facts may still put a smile on your face. Below are the 10 crazy-fun facts about Thanksgiving.

Every Thanksgiving, the current U.S. president pardons a turkey. During the ceremony, the current President of the United States is presented with a live turkey. The President does not eat the turkey; instead, he “pardons” the bird and spares it from being slaughtered. After being pardoned, the turkey gets to live out its days on a farm.
10 Hrs. 2 Mins.: Length of time the average American male would need to spend on the treadmill to burn the 4,500 calories consumed at the average Thanksgiving meal.
The First Thanksgiving was only eaten with Spoons and Knives. The reason for the fork being absent was because it was not brought by the pilgrims in 1620.
Cranberries were served at the first Thanksgiving. However, turkey was not! The best way to check if a Cranberry is ripe is to bounce it. As long as it bounces higher than four inches it is ready to be picked.
Americans eat the weight of Singapore in Turkey every Thanksgiving.
Benjamin Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the national bird of the United States.
In 2019, 55.3 million people in the US traveled on Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving in the US is also known as American Thanksgiving to differentiate it from the Canadian Thanksgiving, which became a national holiday in 1879.
On average, Americans purchase about 250 million pounds of potatoes as well as 77 million pounds of ham during Thanksgiving week.
Turkey-eating competitions go on in certain areas of the US. It involves trying to eat a 20-pound turkey in a limited amount of time. Joey Chestnut currently holds the title, managing to gobble down 9lbs (4kg) in just 10 minutes!

2022

As 2022 approaches, I begin wondering what then new year will bring. I feel that many things will change next year. In numerology, 2022 breaks down to the number 6. Number 6 meaning in numerology is order. It is also the number of the codification and therefore of the law, as well as justice. The number 6 also extends to all beings the freedom of speech and allows the community to speak up for those that don’t have a voice.

In Chinese astrology, 2022 is the year of the Tiger. In fact, it is the year of the Water Tiger and it begins February 1st, 2022 and will end on January 31, 2023. The zodiac sign Tiger is a symbol of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness. The year of the Tiger will be very different from 2021, the year of the Ox. This is the year of movement and will with unforeseen changes and surprising developments.

In western astrology, 2022 we will experience more growth collectively, as well as at a personal level. The universe asks us to continue to do the deep work and take everything we’ve learned over the last couple of years and starting to build a better future. Pluto will transit we begin around February 20th. A Pluto transit such as this often brings upheaval. This Pluto homecoming is a huge moment for the entire planet, as major powers around the globe will grapple with the rapid shifting of the economy and unleashing of revolutionary forces.

The Economist have also predicted events for the future as well. The article from The Economist, The World Ahead 2022, looks at the important themes, trends and events that will shape 2022. Some of the major themes include the following: Democracy v autocracy, Pandemic to endemic, Inflation worries, The future of work, Climate crunch and Travel trouble.

It will be interesting to see what 2022 will bring and the changes that it will provide. Craig Hamilton-Parker is a British psychic, who achieved notoriety for supposedly predicting Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, has predications of his own for 2022. You can check out his video in the link.

Raise your Vibration!

Raising your vibration is the key to happiness. Easier said than done? I agree, it can be challenging, but the benefits of keeping at it and never quitting is probably the best thing you can do for yourself. My go-to for raising my vibration is having a dance party for one. Below are five ways you can raise your vibration.

Five Ways to Raise you Vibration

Amp your vibration with Gratitude. I know you have heard this probably a billion times before, but if you sit down every day and think about all the stuff you are grateful for, you will begin to see your outlook on life changing.
Dance like you never danced before! Throw down some of your favor tunes and bounce around the room. Watch your vibrations shoot through the roof.
Nature anyone? Going out and spending time in Nature is a sure-fire way to release the daily stresses and begin to feel better.
Role play Elsa from Frozen and “Let it Go!” When this movie was popular, it was fun to mention Elsa and Anna around a bunch of kids because they would immediately start singing “Let it Go”. What a positive message the song presented, release the pain and don’t carry it with you.
What are you consuming? Be conscious on how you feel when eat certain foods or watching certain media. If it does not feel good, don’t do it. For me personally, I don’t like to watch the news, I rather read it on the internet. This helps me keep up with current events without me feeling I am personally experiencing the current events.

There are numerous other ways to raise your vibration such as meditation, acts of kindness and yoga to mention a few others. If your go-to is not on the list, please comment at the bottom of the article and let me know what your go to is for raising your vibration.
