So, I read an article today on CNN.com about numbers, psychics, mediums and Michael Jackson (may he rest in peace.)
I found a website to give me a little taste of Numerology. I'm posting the "free" results here for future reference.

The influence of your Day of Birth;
You were born on the 7th of the month, which means your birth number is 7.
You have some extremely powerful hunches -- and these are hunches that SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. Opportunities exist on the other end of those "gut" feelings, so learn to pursue them. Don't discard your career ideas or try to rationalize them away. If you look back, you'll see that you probably would have gotten further ahead if you'd taken your own advice.
Your Destiny number;
Powerful and ambitious on the one hand, reliable and efficient on the other . . .
That's YOU, my friend, thanks to the influence of the 8 Destiny.
The first thing that people are likely to notice when you enter a room is your air of command and authority, and your ability to control almost everyone around you. Once they get through this self-confident shell, these folks are likely to see a woman who ADMIRES and strives for success, who LOVES obstacles and takes PRIDE in the quality of her work, and who believes in an "honest day's work for an honest day's pay."
But even under the surface, you practically throb with power and confidence. You're going to go to the top in WHATEVER field you choose-and no one is going to stop you!
In order to fulfill your destiny, it's important to accept that there are certain things you must be, do, and accomplish in your life.
Your Life Path's influence;
Practical, hardworking, serious, capable . . .does this sound like someone you know-namely YOU?Your responsible and productive nature is a result of the fact that you travel along the 4 Lifepath. Women who are on this dedicated Lifepath tend to be EXTREMELY reliable, routine-oriented, loyal and orderly.
Even though you're respected, liked and admired by many, your work could take precedent over human contact.
Your Intuitive Plane;
While life leaves other people standing by wondering what they missed, you find yourself in a starring role. Whether it's taking an active part in a political cause that's near and dear to you, or cheering for a favorite sports team, you live every moment to the hilt. Your convictions are so intense that some people may regard you as a bit of a fanatic.
You are extremely sensitive to what's going on around you.
In fact, you get so wrapped up in emotions experienced by others that you cry easily over people's tragedies. Since you take everything to heart so naturally, you can't help wondering why other people are not as INVOLVED with life as you are.
Potentially, you would make an excellent, emphatic counselor. First of all, though, you are going to have to learn to distance yourself from this overwhelming desire to solve other people's problems.
Your Personality number - how others see you;
What a competent woman you seem to be! You travel through life with an air of purpose, determination and practicality that will certainly help you accomplish many of your goals - and perhaps all of them.
The reason for your calm aura of common sense and practicality is that you're under the influence of a 22 Outer Personality. Women with this influence in their lives are problem solvers and know WHAT do to get to where they need to go!
The 22 is a Master Number that is rooted in the material realm. You're likely to get what you want on the material side. You also have an amazing control over material things and COULD make some profound changes that could alter the course of history.
The Master Number takes on the characteristics of the number it adds up to, which, in this case, is the number 4.
Your Soul Urge influence - what truly makes you happy;
A woman endowed with a great deal of foresight and discipline, loads of potential and the ability to achieve great things . . .
If this is what YOU feel when you hear these words, there's a reason - you're under the influence of the 22 Soul Urge.
There's no doubt about it: women with this special Soul Urge are members of a unique group! With all of your power and experience, you can surely obtain almost ANYTHING you want!
This number derives its undeniable power from its status as a Master Number. Master Numbers typically take on aspects of their lesser numbers, but they are more intense. The number 22 tends to take on the characteristics of the Soul Urge 4.
Life Changing
Lisa, you are a person who has many great things yet to come into their life. What I have to tell you will turn your life into the life you want - bringing you the things you deserve. What I tell you will be the most important information you will ever receive.
Keep in mind that the path to happiness is more than just monetary riches. Think about a life in which you awaken each morning to greet the day with a smile because you KNOW good things will happen to you! Picture yourself experiencing such a day in which all your spiritual and emotional traffic lights are green, allowing you to sail through the day with no roadblocks!
Imagine yourself walking into a room and automatically being the focal point of attention because your serenity has become so attractive to others. Furthermore, picture yourself being able to WEATHER DIFFICULT TIMES WITH EASE because you know that better days are just around the corner!
Now, I need to get ready for dinner with Dr. M. Some place at The Georgian Hotel, I think he said, so I think that shorts and a beat-up t-shirt probably isn't the most appropriate outfit!
