Today is the tenth and final post in a 10-part series involving serendipitous and mysterious events and occurrences involving the date of Nov. 14th and it’s the last day of the 10-Month Manifest Your Desires Campaign. The posts in this series have been categorized as events that happened before Nov. 14, the day of Nov. 14th, and after Nov. 14, 2013. I hope you’ve enjoyed the campaign posts and that they’ve inspired you to “manifest your desires.” Enjoy!
In this tenth and final post, I’d like to take a different angle. On the last day of my Vipassana retreat in Peru, my roommate suggested a great idea I hadn’t thought of before and that was to research Nov. 14th from a historical perspective as well. In this post, I’ll share the significance of Nov. 14th from a perspective of world “his-story”, from my mother’s “her-story”, and most importantly for me, in “my-story” that is continuously unfolding.
Nov. 14th in His-story
On Nov. 14th, Herman Melville published “Moby Dick, ” Albert Einstein presented his quantum theory of light, the power plant at Niagra Falls began operations, the Philippine Islands was declared a free commonwealth, Puerto Rico votes against becoming the 51st US state, the Congress of Colombia declares this day as “Day of the Colombian Woman” and we also celebrate World Diabetes Day (International).
On Nov. 14th, Ray Charles’ “Georgia on My Mind” reaches #1, Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” premieres on FOX TV, Disney’s “Lion King” sets a Broadway record in daily sales, the play “Chicago” opens in New York and Muhammad Ali TKO’s Cleveland Williams for the heavyweight title.
On Nov. 14th, American educator, author, and activist Booker T. Washington died and Prince Charles of Britain, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Reverend Run (Rapper of Run-DMC), Jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis and Yanni are all born.
Nov. 14th in Her-Story
On Thursday, November 14, 2013, Daisy Elizabeth Teresa King Bellony was called home to her God and joined her mother, Catherine George King, who also died on Thursday, November 14, 56 years earlier. As to be expected, her-story has a lot of my-story intertwined and vice-versa.
For my mother to choose the same day as her mother to make her transition says a lot about completion and their powerful connection. As I’ve written in Pt. 3 of this series, my mother and I believed that I have my grandmother’s spirit. I’m still researching to find out what date my grandmother was born and as soon as I find out, I will definitely write about it.
While I was in Peru, I visited the Huaca Pucllana ruins in Lima. This Pre-Inca sacred site served as an administrative and religious center from 200 to 700 A.D. According to Richard Aguirre , it was originally a part of a larger complex that worshiped a feminine divinity associated with the sea and was used for burials and sacrificial ceremonies by later cultures, including the Wari tribe. In 2010, an important archaeological find of funeral bundles was discovered and according to my tour guide, it had become popular to sacrifice children when nobles died because they represent innocence and purity. While I can understand the principle behind this, I couldn’t help thinking this ritual couldn’t have been practiced during the early origins of their civilization.
As the tour guide 
was leading our group away from the reconstructed landmark, an idea came to me spontaneously to stay behind and leave a lock of my mother hair that I had just remembered I was carrying in my purse! I reached over and placed my mother’s hair in one of the bowls in the picture and said a prayer in this sacred, ancient place that her spirit would be at peace and that the transgressions of the parents of the past be healed continuously by the choices of each generation in the future.
Nov. 14th in My-Story
“Don’t look for closure. There is no closure, it just keeps opening” -Abraham-Hicks
I began this blog as
a way to honor my mother’s memory and to inspire others, but it’s also been about me and my grieving/healing process. I hoped this 10-Month Manifest Your Desires Campaign could provide a sense of closure to a chapter of my life and in many ways it has done just that. However, I also understand that it’s less about “closing the door” on all the cherished and painful memories and more about “opening to a new season.” And speaking of seasons, in the Mayan Calendar, there is a 50-Day period made up of portal and core days taking place from Oct. 31st to December 19th in 2014. These dates fall differently every year; however, the 20-day cycle of core days begins on Nov. 15th , making Nov. 14th the end of a season or cycle. During these 20 core days, the energy on the planet is more powerful to accelerate transformation and we are more receptive to cosmic knowledge for self mastery.
So, as the 10-Month Manifest Your Desires Campaign comes to a close, I’d like to thank each and everyone who has read, shared, commented or donated to this blog, and while the Pushing Daisy Drive will be an on-going project in the future, my focus for the next 23 days will be to raise at least $1,000 to fund the publishing of my forthcoming book Prayers of a Virgin: 52 Weeks of Poetic Inspiration and Personal Planetary Guidance with the Destiny Cards.
A New Chapter: 23 More Days to Support My Book Fund on Pubslush!
With the initial investment of book pre-orders, I’ll have the resources needed to self-publish and get my book out on the market sooner. Another great benefit of the Pubslush platform is that I’ll have the opportunity to get more feedback in order to produce a better product. My ultimate goal is to raise $4,000 to cover the publishing and printing costs; however, I must raise at least $1,000 to keep any of the funds that I raise.
I would love to get your support by taking the survey, becoming a fan, making a donation or just spreading the word. I know this book can help a lot of people and I will have some great bonuses for those who make a contribution. If you have been thinking of ordering a Destiny Card report or getting a consultation, this would be the time to do it since it will go toward the book funding goal.
