2024 - The Year Of The Wood Dragon! (Success Is Yours For The Taking)
Happy 2024!
Hey, everyone!
Happy New Year to you and all the very best to you, your family and loved ones for 2024.
It is predicted to be a challenging and change-filled one with lots of opportunities for growth and success.
Doesn't every year promise that though?
After all, it is a "new" start. 366 days to get your Mojo on.
How much better can it get?
Let's see what the numbers are saying . . .
In Japan And China - The Year of the Wood Dragon

The Dragon and the Tiger
I am proud to say that I am a Wood Dragon. It symbolises honour, dignity, authority and power. These are traits that I aspire towards.
The Dragon is the only mythical creature in the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. It is considered to be the most powerful and this year, 2024, is considered to be special.
It is thought to be the luckiest of the animals leading the path towards unprecedented opportunities. In this Dragon Year, you can harness the creature's leadership, intelligence and abilities and use them to achieve your goals courageously, confidently, passionately and with immense creativity.
There is a but.
But to harness these traits of the Yang Wood Dragon this year, you must be prepared to take some risks and move with Faith - the evidence of things not seen.
What you SAY you want will not happen if you do not take ACTION. You must move with congruence.
The Year of the 8

The 8th Ball Determines the Winner
2024 = 2+2+4 = 8.
In Numerology, an "8 Year" is considered to be a powerful one, representing abundance, success and balance.
There is another but.
But, it also represents Karma which means that you will reap what you sow - the fruits of your labour. If you work hard with honesty and love, it will come back to you.
That is my interpretation and my continuous objective.
366 - A Leap Year - 1 Day More!
2024 is also a Leap Year.
This means that, if you were born on the 29th of February, (like my second sister), you can celebrate for the last 3 years that you missed. 😂
It is a blessing to have one more day to invest in your learning, growth and success.
In a Leap Year, we welcome the Olympics which will be hosted by France in the summer.
"It Was The Worst Of Times . . ."
The words of Charles Dickens remind us that ''It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. ''
There is no doubt that we live in unpredictable and challenging times.
But, wasn't it always that way?
Didn't change always happen?
Were catastrophes not always a part of life?
Just like success and achievement are.
You have to navigate differently, with different tools but, as always, opportunities abound and are yours for the taking.
Only IF you TAKE ACTION.
So, what are you waiting for?
A week is almost over.
I wish each of you a blessed, prosperous and happy 2024.
See you at the finish line.

Hi Cassi
We’re all good and had excellent New Year celebrations. I ate way too much, as usual! Haha
I’m sure you had a great time, too.😎
Rock 2024! 🤘
Frank 🎸
It was FABULOUS!!
Lots of close friends, family, food, wine, music, (did I say wine?).
It was the best, Frank. 🤗💃
It will be a rocking 2024.
I can feel it.
Cassi
That's great, Cassi!
There’s nothing better than being with family and friends with good food and wine! 🍷
Frank 🎸
Well, that explains everything, Cassi. No wonder we always clicked. I'm a Water Dragon but water/wood, we're both still Dragons!!!!
Happy New Year.

Hi Cassi, Happy New Year!
Good to know re the number 8. So far, 8 has been good to me and my pool team, we drew the wild card for 8ball, and qualified for the next quarterfinal tournament!
And, yes, a leap year, and an Olympic Games year as well, with the summer games held in Paris this year!
I'm looking forward to what this year has brought already, and continues to bring into my life!
Rudy
So you play pool, Rudy.
Good to know. 🙂
I am no tournament material but I enjoy a game now and then.
I agree with you.
Looking forward to a great year.
All the best.
Cassi
Yep, I love to play pool...maybe this year you and I will meet up to play a game of pool!
Rudy
It is possible!
Failing that, let's work towards some playing time in Vegas in 2025. 🙂
I would love that!
Cassi
Sounds good! Vegas in 2025!
Spring time or mid fall for best weather unless you like killer heat...grin.
Im still working on a trip to Alaska this year!
Rudy
Great post, Cassi.
Coincidentally, I was born just shy of midnight on the 27th - a day short of being a leap year baby!
Isaiah 🙂
We take the Mickey out of sister all the time for that, Isaiah.
It is quite cool I think.
Thank you and have a great year!

Thanks Cassie,
I hope 2024 is an exciting adventure for you. Your energy is so infectious, a real power house to be around, wish I lived up the road from you, I would swing by every morning for a hit of caffeine & Cassie 😁
BTW my Chinese zodiac sign is “Fire Rooster” hmm doesn’t sound quite as exciting as a Dragon, but I understand this year my zodiac sign is (apparently) going to have a very good year in terms of health and family /relationships, it also indicates that money/finances will be more abundant. What more could I ask 🙏
No 8 is a really good number for me 🤭
Cordelia, your wish is mine also.
You remain one of my dearest friends and supporters in WA.
I cherish that and I miss you. 🤗
Thank you for your kind words.
We would be a "house on fire" (pun intended).
I sincerely wish you all the prosperity and success that you can handle in 2024 . . . and more.
You deserve it all.
Here's to a great year! 🍻
Cassi
Thank you, thank you 🥰
You are always welcome, Cordelia. 🤗
