My son Forrest is named after the movie Forrest Gump. Did it change your life too? We knew his name was either Forest or Forrest, so we asked for a sign when I was pregnant. Within a day, we turned on the TV and the opening screen of this movie was playing. Then two people called Forrest contacted us. Bingo.
It wasn’t until years later that someone said ‘you know that your son is autistic like Forrest Gump?’ that I made the deeper connections.
Forrest has ASD level 2 and is very unique. He is an 18/9 life path Old Soul with a 99/18/9 Destiny name, meaning he is here for double conclusions/ rewriting history/ global work. Find your life path from your DOB
He has a way of boldly stating the truth and never compromises on his beliefs or passion for justice, the environment and teaching compassion.
Once at school, he was helping a cricket to get to safety when another boy stomped on it. Other kids started crying. So Forrest put the cricket’s body by a tree and covered it.
The teachers and I were moved. I did some Reiki too. Forrest got mad at the boy, which required some big chats all round.
I intuitively felt that the boy came from a home with conflict, where only negative behaviours were noticed.
Another time, we were looking for a place after leaving due to my marriage breakup in 2024. We were sleeping at a friend’s and Forrest said ‘that’s it Mum, we need a house.’
He packed his little bag and went to the door. Maybe an hour later, I got a call that we had a fully furnished place waiting for us. It was packed with food, toys and gifts donated by the community and our friends.
Forrest walked in like he owned the joint. He really has taught me how to receive and how to speak up for the voiceless.
And yes…the house’s original keyring said Run Forrest Run. What are the chances?! The previous owner was also a 29/11/2 life path Spiritual Messenger like me (!)
I have more stories like this. I call them my collection of Wisdom from the Forrest.

P.s. When Forrest feels down I play him the scene from Forrest Gump where he outruns the bullies and his leg braces fly off. Great clip.
P.p.s. Kate (Katie) Chisholm in Brisbane is a 29/11/2 life path like myself. I highly recommend her breathwork energy healings and The Curious Collective podcast (on veterans, PTSD and holistic healing)
Thanks for your friendship Katie and happy birthday!!! Welcome to your 9 personal year.
Read the Facebook post by Katie that inspired my blog post today. Reposted below.
“Watching Forrest Gump with my 8 and 10 year old daughters has been quite the experience….Usually I get irritable when they ask questions through a whole movie. But this time? I loved it.
We’re watching Forrest tell his story from the beginning – the leg braces, being called “different,” the way he processes things literally throughout his whole life. My girls are seeing how other people’s opinions tried to define him, but his mother gave him something different. She was his safe place. Everything she said became gospel to him, words he’d quote back to others his whole life.
That kind, innocent heart. Just following life like a box of chocolates, never knowing what you’re going to get. Staying present in every moment. Not overthinking. Loving deeply – “I’m not a smart man but I know what love is.”
This film opened up conversations I didn’t expect to have yet. We talked about the Vietnam War, presidential shootings, the peace era, drug use. We talked about Jenny – about childhood abuse and how it affects the way you cope and process things as you grow older. How trauma shapes people differently.
We felt everything. We laughed, we cried, we got frustrated at the bullies.
This experience with our daughters helped them understand that being different isn’t being less. That literal processing, neurodivergence, a unique way of seeing the world – these things don’t diminish someone’s capacity to love, to be loyal, to show up fully.
And Jenny’s story alongside Forrest’s? It’s the clearest picture of how early experiences shape our nervous systems. Same era, completely different foundations. His mother gave him security. Jenny’s childhood gave her survival patterns that followed her into adulthood… when they came back together the foundation is solid for young forest ♡♡♡
What a magnificent film…….. your thoughts???”
P.p.p.s One week until my 2026 forecast, love to see you there!! Save your spot
