I want to take a moment to think two magical heart friends for making my birthday extra scrumptious. For me both of them went far beyond the call of friendship to make my day truly unique and memorable. One friend offered to do whatever I wanted for the day and went along contributing falling off the chair belly laughs. She also sent me a poem somehow inspired by me that had me in absolute tears feeling more seen than almost at any other moment of my life. The other one tuned deeply into me to provide whatever she thought I might enjoy from flowers, to gifts, to heart melting hugs, to a soothing elixir of a bath. So much gratitude to these heart soul friends. Thank you Kim and Jennifer. This one is one I’ll remember for a very long time.
I have not been able to get back to Austria for almost 4 years. I used to love going to Austria because I would be pampered up the Ying Yang. We would gi for for Ausflugs ( spelling?)drink wine, hang out Saturday mornings drinking coffee, eat scrumptious meals, Go to the swimming pool, hang out at Rivers, do a little shoe shopping for my favorite brand of shoes which are Austrian made. I gave no reflections to my spiritual mojo, facing the shadow, moving beyond trauma. I just had fun. This birthday is felt very similar. In fact life is starting to feel quite similar.
