Happy Birthday to Life!

•  Today is My Birthday………

  

I am away in one of my favorite cities, Duluth, Minnesota, on the shores of one of my favorite lakes, Lake Superior, and with one of my dearest and best friends, Erika.

Yesterday we had a lovely drive along this beautiful lake that is indeed Superior. It is one of the most majestic drives there is and it is enjoyed by many.

 

My friend and I  had the pleasure of driving through the quaint little town of Grand Marais, Minnesota, and had a delightful lunch at The Angry Trout Restaurant. It was a beautiful day and our hearts were light and the day was bright!

 

This morning, I awoke to many wonderful messages and birthday wishes. It always feels so good to receive so much love and kindness from others.  One message in particular has moved me in a profound way and inspired me to write this blog post.

It was a message from a dear friend and business partner. His words touched me in a way that made me feel that my life has been worthwhile, and that a difference has been  made in the world by my presence in it. To me, that is my only desire; that I can in some way uplift, inspire and/or encourage others to live a life that inspires them, a life that is true to their soul and their soul’s calling. I was indeed grateful that his words reached me now, while I am alive, and not at the end of my life, which is when we tend to share how others have inspired or touched us in some way.

His words and sharing from his heart, open and expansive, have further fuelled my rocket ship of desire to spread more Love, Joy, and Kindness in the world.  To my friend I thank you. Namaste.

To all of us, I say let us make every day and every moment a Birth-Day.  Let us make it a time to rebirth ourselves anew. We are not who we were yesterday or even an hour ago. We are only who we are choosing to be, right now and in this exact moment. Choose Happiness. Choose Love! Choose to see that the world IS a friendly place. Choose to connect to the things that move your soul and call to your heart, and when you see them, share them! Touch someone else’s life by sharing these moments, by sharing your appreciations, by sharing  your gifts and thank others for their gifts and how they have impacted you. Let us celebrate each other and the gift of our being in the world, co-creating and expressing our most beautiful and divine selves.

If you are reading this, I thank you for being in my life in some way. My wish for you is that you choose in this moment, that the birth of your life, is indeed worthwhile and that you grab it with Gusto and Passion…. run with it my friends, run with it.

A finale note. Tonight will be a full moon. The perfect time to start a new cycle and create anew. I found this fitting for today. I absolutely LOVE staring at the moon! For me, it is one of those moments I am referring to.

I also love this quote that was shared by The Positive Outlooks Blog….

In Love & Light,
