Birthdays!!!
I guess we all know the importance of birthdays because it’s such a big deal—and for the most part, if we’re not here--we don’t get one! Unless of course, you are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King or Jesus! For the rest of us however, we usually mark the occasion with cake, balloons, ice cream and (at least at my house) a poorly, but sincere rendition of “Happy Birthday” always sung off key! For some of us, it is a time, it seems, that we’ve endured and survived the physical plane another calendar year . . . yet, perhaps it is really a time to feel our vitality, energy and resurgence and that there is meaning to being here! After all, we chose to be here at this moment in time and maybe for a moment, we should reflect on our meaning, mission and purpose? As we blow out our candles, ask yourself, “How am I doing against my mission?” Or “What am I doing here?” and after the candle smoke clears, “Am I truly looking for who I am on this earth, and what I want out of it?” The experience here can be anything we want it to be. So with a different view and different sense of what marking your birth is all about—and in the midst’s of celebration we can reflect for a moment and tell ourselves; Be all you can be—it’s a wondrous journey! Now, let’s get set for another one!
Happy Birthday Sally Baldwin—for the soul who helps so many understand their path—their mission and their journey!
