In the world of domestic violence survivors, there is great significance to the number 22. What is it about that number and why does it hold so much meaning for survivors?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence (BTSADV) founder Kristen Faith explains that the number 22\u2019s significance is connected to numerology and our angels in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAngel number 22 is a powerful sign from your angels that you are on purpose in life and about to turn your dreams into reality. Number 22 is called a Master Number in Numerology, which means that it has an extraordinarily powerful vibration,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the website <\/span>The Secret of the Tarot<\/span><\/a>, angel numbers are <\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/i>sequences of numbers that carry divine guidance by referring to specific numerological meanings.\u201d It is often how our angels communicate with us and send us messages.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what does 22 mean to Kristen and others within the BTSADV community? She explained that on a personal level, it symbolized new beginnings. \u201cIt\u2019s the age I was when I broke the cycle by leaving an abusive relationship,\u201d she said, adding that the number 22 is also the age that countless BTSADV angels lost their lives to DV, stating that \u201cthrough the Angel Fund, their legacy will live on forever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristen Faith added that the number 22 is the age she founded BTSADV, which began her purposeful life journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 22 years old, I hated life. I had just left an abusive relationship and was in a dark place. I knew I wanted more for myself and wanted to take what happened to me and transform it into something purposeful. When starting BTSADV, I began connecting with countless survivors who had a \u201822\u2019 story. Their loved ones may have lost their lives at 22 or maybe a survivor shared they left a 22-year abusive marriage. There were so many stories that related to one another with the connection 22. On top of connecting with families with a \u201822\u2019 story, I began seeing the number 22 everywhere. It was on street signs, billboards, license plates, or significant dates. It was at that moment that I looked up the meaning of 22. When I came across the powerful symbolism of 22, I knew I was on the right path. I was fulfilling my God-given purpose,\u201d she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristen\u2019s connection to the number 22 is an interesting one. The Secret of the Tarot website goes into depth about the meaning behind each number and what it all means. For example, the website explained if you keep waking up in the middle of the night at the same time, those numbers can signify that an angel is reaching out to you to tell you something specific.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
