The End of the Cycle: My 999 Journaling Ritual + The Sign That Found Me..

There’s something sacred about those moments when the universe sends you a number, a sign, a nudge—and this time, it was 999. The energy of completion. The end of a cycle. And without even realizing it, I had reached a threshold in my own becoming.

It’s wild how clarity can arrive when you least expect it. In one journaling session, I released years of waiting. Years of needing permission. Years of “maybe someday.”

And in its place? A calm confidence. A new kind of strength—the kind that doesn’t need to be proven or explained.

I didn’t spiral this time.

I didn’t question if I was worthy.

I noticed. I felt. I released.

I’m not bitter.

I’m not broken.

I’m becoming.

And that process is sacred.

The girl who once waited for love to arrive before she allowed herself to live is gone. The woman standing here now? She’s not waiting anymore.

This post isn’t just about numerology or journaling. It’s about the quiet click of a door closing behind you—and the wide open, glowing path ahead.

A Day That Shifted Everything

I had a particularly off day where everyone felt rude and just not the vibe. So, I decided to take myself out and treat myself. A girl can definitely do that.

On the way, there it was—looking straight at me: 999.

Today wasn’t about rude people. It was about me, standing on my own two feet. A completion. A moment to choose: let go or stay stuck.

I took myself to a fancy meal, read my book while sipping Bordeaux wine (IYKYK), and took the long way home with some good music playing. Once home, I showered, poured peppermint tea, and sat down with my journal.

What poured out of me during that 999 journaling ritual changed everything.

The End of the Cycle: My 999 Journaling Ritual

There’s something sacred about knowing—deep in your bones—that a chapter is closing. Not in a bitter way. Not in a dramatic, toss-the-journal kind of way. But in a full-body knowing that you’ve done the work… and the weight is finally lifting.

I followed the pull to do a 999 journaling ritual, even though my hand cramped and my emotions stirred. What poured out of me wasn’t just reflection—it was release.

The Questions That Helped Me Let Go

1. What cycle or pattern in my life feels like it’s coming to an end?

Really ALL of it. This is a death and a rebirth.

I finally found the ingredient to build a solid foundation—one that well-meaning but hurtful texts can’t crack. And that… feels as freeing as it does safe.

2. What am I ready to let go of?

I no longer need others to tell me I’m awesome for me to maybe start believing it.

I’m releasing the idea that I need to wait for a man to tell me who they want me to be.

No more waiting to travel, move, try new restaurants, go on getaways, or buy new underwear.

I’m done waiting.

3. What has this chapter taught me about myself?

That I am stronger than I ever imagined—but my strength comes from my softness.

I actually like who I am. The loud, over-sharing, romantic, dance-party, pink-tinted-glasses-wearing me.

Even when my subconscious whispers, “You? And a boyfriend?” I know: if the dream is in me, it’s for me.

It’s been a long seven years, but I wasn’t ready before.

Not ready to be fully me. Fully seen. Fully loved.

Now I am.

And in the meantime, I get to feel the love that surrounds me daily—my kiddos, Café clients, the lawyer who sings my praises, new friends like Mel and Aziz, and all the ones I haven’t even met yet.

4. What am I proud of myself for doing?

The spirals—I stop them now. I let myself feel the sting, but I don’t spiral into stories about my worth.

Because my worth isn’t touched by someone having a girlfriend.

My worth doesn’t diminish because someone is afraid of soup and moves to another country (yes, that happened).

I feel.

I heal.

I build.

5. Who am I stepping into now?

Soft, shiny wavy hair.

Glass skin with a hint of blush and mascara.

Dressed like a European goddess in flowy skirts.

Always smiling—from the heart.

A beast in the gym (and people are noticing).

Working a lot this summer, but with a goal: travel.

Focusing on my blog.

Standing tall. Glowing.

Magnetic.

And Then This Happened…

After all of that—my full release on paper—I opened Instagram and saw the exact message my soul needed:

“The karmic debt is paid.

Your ex felt that shift.

You’re not anxious—you’re early.

You’re in the exact timeline your soul begged for.”

A wave washed over me. I knew it was a confirmation.

My guides speak through Instagram quotes sometimes—I’ve felt it for years.

But this one? This was loud. Clear. Timed perfectly.

So What Now?

Now, I rest.

Now, I honor the version of me who held it all so beautifully for seven years.

Now, I walk forward—free, magnetic, soft, and certain.

And I trust the unfolding of this new chapter.

Feeling the 999 Energy Too?

If you’ve been sensing a cycle ending or a shift in your spirit, try this:

Light a candle, pour a cup of something warm, and ask yourself these questions:

1. What cycle or pattern in my life feels like it’s coming to an end?

2. What am I ready to let go of—emotionally, mentally, or physically?

3. What has this chapter taught me about myself?

4. What am I proud of myself for doing or being?

5. Who am I stepping into now?

You don’t need a new moon or a fancy setup to mark a turning point. Sometimes all it takes is a pen, a journal, and the willingness to let the old version of you go… lovingly.

Let the answers pour out without judgment. Let them surprise you. Let them free you.

And if you do this ritual—tag me or message me (GROW, GLOW & BECOME). I’d love to hold space for your becoming too.

Coffee cheers to the end of a cycle—

and the beginning of something brand new.

With love,
