Dear friends,

Today is my 44th birthday.  As I type those numbers I have a big smile on my face.  Something tickles me about 44.  I like the repetition of the numbers, I like the way I feel about myself and in my body as I age, and I am filled with gratitude for my life. 

This morning I did a creative project for the 10 day summer challenge on the Daily Creative practice.  Usually I journal on my birthday but this morning I drew a picture to illustrate where I am in my life and things I want to create.

Creatively giving thanks and manifesting today

 I started this morning with a wonderful cup of tea and opening birthday cards from my family in TX.  I am so grateful for all my friends and family – my heart is full.

I feel so loved by my family – my heart is full

I love getting snail mail and my family is so great about sending bday cards!

 
I wasn’t sure how today would be since we are in the middle of chaos which is packing and preparing for moving our household of 7 years.  When I woke up this morning I came into the kitchen for my morning elixir (Bigelow English Breakfast tea with Raw NC Mountain Honey) and found that some delightful fairy has already cleaned the kitchen and the dishwasher was running.  My family knows what makes me smile.  Between that and Joe’s thoughtfulness on Friday when he bought me new smudge sticks for the move, my favorite ginger-berry Kombucha and beautiful flowers my heart is overflowing with happiness.  

Today I get to Interplay with friends and talk with family and enjoy this beautiful day.  Life is Good.

Wrapping you around with infinite love and gratitude,

Christine
