We know the number 13 to be traditionally viewed as an unlucky number, but for Nikol, it turned out to be the most transformative number of her life.
This book is a story about the year Nikol’s life went up in flames, burning to ash all of who she thought she was. Nikol had spent decades carefully crafting her career, marriage, persona, and friendships. But as she watched the life she had built disappear into smoke, she found herself hearing a new, quiet voice within her. The voice of 13.13 is the sacred invitation, the auspicious calling to your heart to finally have the life you have always desired. Sharing with absolute vulnerability the ravages of losing her identity, Nikol’s writing creates a beautiful space of self empowerment for anyone who has felt deeply stuck in relationships and a life that doesn't work. This book is for people who want to create a whole new beginning and have decided their life is precious and worth living. It is also about the workings of sacred numbers in our lives and how devastation can open you to your greatest power.
Review
This book came at a time when I thought I was ok. I clearly was not judging by the amount of tissues I got through.
This was like reading a journal of my own life in some parts. There were lots of points that resonated with me and it felt like I was having a chat with a friend. It's really interesting to read all the theories surrounding 13 (especially if you're a Swifty fan like me) and I am open to learning more about sacred numbers and number theory in this way.
Nikol has a way with words that really draws you in, she will get you to open up to yourself and you will understand more than you thought possible. This book really helped me get to grips with some recent changes and some fears and problems I had and didn't know how to deal with.
I'm not often into things like this, but I went into it with an open mind and really got into it. I think Nikol does an incredible job of opening up to the reader and baring her soul, I'm very grateful that she was brave enough to write the book.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for guidance, a journal prompt or feeling like they have someone to talk to. This book is now my staple go-to.
