Today is my birthday and I'm not crying, I'm celebrating. Celebrating being alive today this September 16th on this amazing planet. Celebrating my five chickens. Celebrating my handsome husband. Celebrating my new BFF Jax in my new dreamy town - Barrington, Rhode Island. Celebrating my new smart, fun, happy, inspiring, kick - a** girlfriends in Barrington whom my new BFF introduced me to at a (drumroll please), welcome to town brunch at her beautiful home -- Dena, Kathleen, Lisa, Margaret - and Midge, who helped me find our new white castle. Celebrating my strong, healthy, happy, energetic body, mind and Spirit. Celebrating my focus on the positive - and on what I admire in others. Celebrating my Brown University BFF's. Celebrating yoga, which I found many years ago and still practice every. Single. Morning. Celebrating my BFF's from Calabasas High School. Celebrating our Prana Power Yoga studios, community and family. Celebrating my friend Lee from college who brought me to Barrington, Rhode Island when I called him about my new global health and wellness business - and his wife, Beth, who didn't skip a beat when we popped into their home while looking at homes in Barrington. Celebrating Pammy, who had the courage to call me back about a global health and wellness business she knew I'd love. Celebrating my favorite job in this lifetime so far (see previous sentence). Celebrating our new amazing community and school system and bus service (!!) in Barrington. Celebrating our amazing community with JP. Celebrating our new puppy. Celebrating my siblings, who I love so much and with whom I am closer than ever (they don't read anything I write so they won't ever see this). Celebrating our new white castle, which has a huge yard and sport court, in and on which our chickens can run, run, run. Celebrating the beach, which is across the street from our new white castle (!!). Celebrating that no matter what, I get my chickens to that beach daily, even if it's for 10 minutes to dip our toes in the water (good for "earthing" and restarting purposes - and magical to boot). Celebrating that we can bike every day with our 5 chickens. Celebrating that we do bike every day with our chickens. Celebrating that a school bus picks up my kiddos every morning and delivers them home safely every afternoon. Celebrating Terry the bus driver. Celebrating my BFF's from growing up in Lake Bluff, Illinois. Celebrating yard sales, which I hit with my chickens every Saturday. Celebrating that it's not my job to fix or change others -- and that I get this, FINALLY: I DO NOT NEED TO FIX OR CHANGE OTHERS! Whew! What a relief. Celebrating this moment. I could go on forever, because there is so much to celebrate . . . find it in your life. And as you continue to celebrate, the Universe will send you more to celebrate. Start where you are. Baby steps. This moment is all that matters, so it's never to late to begin again. Never.
