It’s the big 3-5. Time for birthday wishes…

These are really wacky ceramic salt shakers I got for my birthday last year!

These are really wacky ceramic salt shakers I got for my birthday last year!

Today I turn 35 (Aug 30).  Since “Love & A Photo” is the feature on Sundays, I am posting this a little early.

As a special treat, a friend did a growth card reading: it was Death.  Now at first I was slightly freaked out but then she shared some of what it could mean for this year.

Here’s what the description offered: “This year does not usually mean your own literal death; on the contrary, it is during this year that you can experience the death of an old identity, the ending of certain types of relationships, the closure of certain creative projects or types of work, and simultaneously the desire to initiate and start new relationships, projects, careers, and expression of new parts of oneself.”

This really speaks to me due to how my life has been unfolding lately. Shedding some really old limiting beliefs & thoughts.  Striking out in new areas & embracing the inner adventuress I know is there.

I have many dreams, goals, and things I want to try.  For now, I will be nurturing them inside of my spirit until I feel ready to take steps out & share them.

I’m enjoying (and learning from) the few projects I have started recently:

** “Love & A Photo” Series (my ‘baby’ and the project I am most attached to)

** Moonlight & Moonstones: A Sparkle Note project

** Building this bloggy haven into a place that wonderfully displays truth, warmth, art, magic, love, and giving (all the things that inspire me).

**  Getting more focus on my intentions

As much as I want to rush forward there is some cultivating that needs to happen to make sure these treasures flourish!

Tonight, celebrate with me as I turn that awesome age of 35! If you choose, leave a fabulous birthday wish or thought (for all of you shy peeps, de-lurk just this once. I would love to hear from you.)

  1. ok so this reminded me of two really great and totally opposite quotes…
    “Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out!” -The Simpsons
    -Something that you probably shouldn’t do literally but it can be taken in a good way as well… Get rid of everything that you have questions about and that is bogging you down and just let God take care of it for you.

    and then from one of my favorite musicals:
    “To life, to life, la kayim!” -Fiddler on the roof.
    which to me means: Celebrate! You deserve it!

    Happy Birthday Mel! Hope your day is Fabulous!

    Happy Birthday!
    So call me weird, but I have this goal/desire to “live” each and every day.
    And no i don’t mean live as in not die, but live as in enjoy each moment, and make each day count, rather than just passing through time without leaving a mark.
    So. . .
    I hope you will “live” all 365 days of this new year in your life, and truly enjoy them.

    May God truly bless you on your birthday!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!
    You don’t look a day over 30 yet you have the wisdom of someone far beyond your years.
    I do believe that you will find your hearts desires scattered at your feet as you walk through this year.

  9. Oh I am so sorry I am late! Happy belated birthday and you know what? I am always super excited to get the death card. I love big changes like moving, travelling, looking for new opportunities and big transformations in my life. Unlike a year and a half ago but that’s OK.

    Change is very powerful! And usually for the better. Happy birthday and here is to exciting new changes in your beautiful life.
