Another year, Another Birthday!

I am hovering on my 59th birthday....& per usual it is causing me to reflect.

My mom died at 59 (just 17 days after her birthday actually).

My dad died at age 49 (in only 4 months I had a 50th this-is-your-life birthday party planned for him, bringing old pals and co-workers together to tell tales of days of old.

My sister died at 29 only 4 ½ years after having her one and only son.

On my 39th birthday I had an amazing, enlightening, physical/spiritual experience with a tremendous breakthrough.

So you can only imagine why the “9” birthdays are so special to me.

They hold meaning and value to my heart.

So here I am on the brink of my own 59th feeling strong about my purpose and passion as I follow Gods lead in my life.

As this year was approaching I actually thought I might throw my own birthday bash celebrating my life and loves, enjoying some of my personal favorite things like: carrot cake, a roaring campfire complete with burned marshmallows, sunsets, chips & salsa, sweet grandbabies, the crisp air of fall, falling leaves, playing games & hanging out with the ones I love.

Oh and maybe champagne toast!

I have taught my grandbabies to cheers everything whether your cup is filled with water or its a juice box! For everything in life is worth celebrating!

So I will celebrate my 59th birthday as the monumental day that it is whether I live another 17 days or 17 years!

God is good and he has blessed me tremendously!
