5 in numerology means "transformation". My psychotherapist would say, “your creative process knows the path through this landscape, you just don’t trust that you know how to walk it”.

Trust that you know where you are going Lucy, and that this isn't a setback, it's the latest meander of the life you are destined to live and the possibility of it being better than you could imagine.

That’s so interesting, I didn’t know that! Very wise words too, it’s so hard sitting in the unknown but eventually I’ll be able to look back and it will all make sense

Aw thank you so much! I’m so pleased to see you’ve subscribed. If anything writing from a difficult place gives my words more depth and nuance, although it’s hard to write from the in-between when you don’t yet have a conclusion. Hope you’re doing well! 🥰

Hey Lucy,

My hubby and I have been following you and Ben for years now. We had our own dreams of van life some seven years ago and you helped us see that it really could work. Next month will mark three years since we set of for full time van life. The best, the most amazing times we've ever had, time together, time making memories together.

Tragically outside influences meant that my gorgeous husband took his own life in February. My world shattered into a million pieces. I'm now trying to put my life back together from the rubble that's left. Such a huge task without my soulmate by my side.

One things is for sure, my future is in the van, continuing the adventures we started together.

Finding yourself on a new path, one that you didn't chose is so scary, so earth shattering, so hard but.... There is a way forward, there is a lights at the end of the tunnel, there will be good things, new dreams, new adventures, new things to sme about and be proud of.

One day at a time. Xx

Hi Fiona, thanks for your lovely message. I'm so sorry to hear of the troubles you've been through, it sounds unimaginable to go through such loss, but to hear you're picking up the pieces and looking to continue adventuring in your van is such a brave and admirable thing. I know I'd feel the same as you, wanting to continue though probably being afraid of living that life on my own and having to learn to adapt. Will you be sharing your story and photos from your travels online? I'd love to follow along.

Thank again for the kind words, and stay strong 💙
