So today is my birthday. I usually take the day off and spend it doing only what I want to do. That's back when I had the corporate job. But no more. I'm all freelance these days. When things went to crap with the company I started last year, I almost went out and got another corporate job. Daily routine, big bucks, responsibility and with that probably a lot of frustration. But that stable fat paycheck and a commute from hell.
I decided that I would give it another try. I write about living my dream life, manifesting the kind of life I want. What the hell... I can give it a little more of a try. What else do I have to lose? I've been putting my words to the test this past year with a nice safety net in my bank account. Now that safety net is gone and there's nowhere to go but up. And failure has never been an option with me. Still, I'm scared. What if I've just entered a den of predators and about to be snapped to pieces? I'm a fragile human. I am reminded of that when I jumped into the mosh pit with a bunch of teenage boys on Saturday night and came away with a blue lip and some bruises. But then things are taken care of perfectly. Even with Gloria and her situation - in the darkest of places there is love and friends.
So tonight, today, the bomb goes off. Maybe you've seen them around the city. You'll have the opportunity to drink one tonight, at Ground Control, where I'll be celebrating. Come on by if you want.
Happy Birthday, Heather. May you live out your wildest dreams and live to share it others. I'm rooting for you.

Hey,girl. Remember, there is nothing you can't achieve as long as you want it with all your heart. And you do have a big heart.
Love & bubbles from the land of ice. It's all temporary. I'm glad you had a blast at your b-day party.
