today is my birthday
Yes it’s true…
Today is my birthday… I am 58 years old today.
Where did the time go? I still feel like a spring chicken, despite five kids and nearly six grand kids and a few international companies!
I arrived in Bali 21 years ago to start a new life; it has been a roller coaster, of constant challenge, that built strong internal certainty of who I am and what I am here to do…
Somehow it appears, despite all the convolutions we have survived and prospered … to some extent….
It is, never the less, a hard day.
I am swinging between tears and laughter on a moment to moment basis.
As my wise mother used to say… “Wherever you go… there you are!”
So if there is anything I would like to share with you from my experience it’s this… love yourself along the way. Don’t wait for someone else to tell you that you are worthy, or have made it!
Love yourself along the journey…
Down every side track and dark alley it takes you on…
Love yourself when you fail,
Love yourself when you are scared,
Love yourself when you feel no one else does…
Do not make success conditional upon your feeling of loveability…
No one else is as invested in your success as you.
One of the most important lessons this journey has brought me is to keep the faith!
Keep the faith in your own mission.
Keep the faith in who you are at your core,
Keep the faith that you are beloved of God and indeed, deserve the best.
Why do I say this?
Because this is the hardest thing to do along the journey…
You will always eventually find the money to pay your bills.
You will eventually resolve your differences with others and follow the cultural patterns of social behavior into old age… but if you lose faith in yourself along the way…. that is true bankruptcy!
There is no pill for that!
There is no solution… this is the fertile ground for annihilation!
People choose different poisons but all for the same effect… self destruction, because they believe in their own worthlessness!
Keeping the faith in yourself, in tact and sacred is your primary mission when the proverbial sh.t hits the fan… with no faith, all else goes to rack and ruin…
My blessing to you all today is to remember once again, you are the beloved of the Divine Mother of All Creation and she loves each of us absolutely and completely, because we are her children of the light!
That’s why I make my jewelry, to remind people of ‘the light’ within them.
To remind everyone who has the power to wear my jewels of just who they are and how special their role is in the future of our world…
I wear my Talisman of Power pieces to remind me to hold my faith in my true purpose, which is to love and be loved…
To do the best I can with what I have, and remember, to celebrate each moment as if it was my last… the joy is in the journey, not the destination…
Never miss a minute of the fun… celebration is our greatest resource and surest revenge! Hee hee hee!
