What’s a Birthday Really All About?

So what's a birthday really about?

Is it about parties, presents, cake and ice cream, and family celebrations ? Is it about getting the birthday wishes, birthday cards, fancy dinners and exotic trips? I mean if you are like me, I am sure you have gotten caught up in and had a few good laughs at the long celebrations that the reality stars put so much of their energy and time into for our entertainment. It’s hard enough for me to plan around one day or a weekend of celebrationg much less an entire month. But I am not a reality star.

So it goes without saying that for some it may be about a few of these things. For some it may be about all of these things. But for me, the most important thing about this birthday, is acknowledging just how far I have come.

I am celebrating the releasing of anything from this past year that is no longer serving me for my highest good. I am celebrating and accepting the challenges, vicitories, and promsies that this next year will hold.

It is absolutey storming right now! And for the most part it's been a rainy, yucky sort of day. There was a time in my life that having a stormy birthday would have just absolutely ruined my entire day and my entire outlook.

But I know that this rain is cleansing and I take this stormy night as sign of cleansing, purification, and release.

I am ready for all the new things that are happening.

I am ready to embrace the next steps of this journey.

I am ready for the next level of my life to move me to even closer my purpose.

Without the last 49 years, I would not have gotten to the place that I am in today. It may not have been the shortest route, the easiest or the most opportune one for me to take, but I am trusting that I have been given all the tools and treasures I need to bring strength and inspritation for those who seek it. And that’s truly a wonderful to celebrate.
