HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
 On Saturday, June 2nd, I will be celebrating another birthday. Yes, I'm getting older and wiser and all that stuff.
I began to think of how, on certain birthdays, I would have the thought that "I'm getting older" or "I can't believe I'm getting to the age that is considered OLD."
Birthdays are generally suppose to be happy and a celebration of life!
A thought came to me that I am no longer going to view my birthday as "oh dear, another year has gone by." But to view each and every day as a celebration of my birthday. Who says it always has to be on a certain day? I love a good party so why not make each day a party and celebrate LIFE!
So, from now on - I'm going to look in the mirror every morning and say to myself "Happy Birthday!" Are you ready to celebrate your birthday everyday?

Exercise: Birthdays
Please have a pad and pen close by so you
can record your thoughts or answers.
An Audio Imagination that goes with this exercise is available below. In three minutes, you can change your life! That's all it takes. These imaginations are not edited - these are simply tools to help you achieve. All are copywritten.
BE FULLY PRESENT for this exercise. You can close your eyes or leave them open. Please turn off your cell phone and unplug your regular phone, turn on some soothing music and enjoy this exercise. No one is judging you. Be honest with yourself.
BEFORE doing this exercise, think about how celebrating your BIRTHDAY everyday can be fun and make a difference in your daily routine.
On a separate piece of paper recreate how you would like to celebrate your birthday
Think about your most favorite Birthday event! Were you a young child, a teenager, an adult? Where were you? What made it so much fun? Get in touch will all of your emotions.
Use your imagination to recreate the emotion behind that one particular birthday. Write down your feelings. As you're writing, feel, imagine, smell, hear.... use all of your senses and bring that particular birthday to the present.
Now write down how you will celebrate today as a birthday (even though it's not you actual birthday day and year). Be different - pretend - dress up - call a few friends so everyone can celebrate. Tell them that from now on you are making each day a birthday celebration and will be doing something special for YOU.
Are you ready to start celebrating your birthday everyday?
Mantra: Imagine That... I Am celebrating my birthday everyday with joy!

Friendship's Endurance by Viola Jaynes
…the flower withers, but the seed remains. ~Kahlil Gibran
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. ~ Khalil Gibran
My mother-in-law shared with me about a friendship she has been blessed with for 57 years. She loves her friend and feels her pain as she seems to have endured many difficult challenges in her life. Our prayer and thoughts are with her this week as she is facing a tedious surgery and a lengthy recovery period. I thought about their long friendship and all the changes that they have seen in each other’s lives since their schoolgirl days.
Friendships leave us with imprints on our hearts as we realize that somehow we have been changed for the better. Some friends were only meant to come and go as a fleeting impression; much like the morning dew that graces the leaves with its many tiny droplets and yet, by mid-day each of those droplets has dissipated - never to return again.
There are those friendships that seem to be more numerous as we go through our daily tasks and interact with those with whom we come in contact. Those are friendships that will be in our lives for a time and there seems to be a connection as we share like experiences in our work or parenting endeavours. These friendships are also important for they seem to keep things in perspective for us and keep us in touch with each other. They help us to grow and change as we observe more from a distance the humanness that each of us expresses.
The most rare friendship is one that has endured many phases of life together. These are friendships founded in innocent youth filled with dreams and hopes. These are friendships filled with so much energy and strength that together it was thought that even the highest and most difficult mountains could be conquered. These friendships are mystical in nature. In these types of friendships, there seems to be a recognition of the other - a knowingness that is comfortable, but can’t seem to be explained. There is an inward binding together, and no matter the distance between these two souls, they will always feel the need to stay connected.
It is in such a friendship that one dares to share their deepest thoughts. It is such a friendship that will never judge the other for the stumbling and the failings that each will experience in this life. This kind of friendship only opens wider the door for full authenticity, and thus an even greater treasure is found. In such a friendship, one can feel and grow in complete acceptance. Hope and strength is birthed from this deep well of love, and one begins to accept that all is well in this world.
It is in such a friendship that an inkling of God’s love can somehow be realized, for it is an extension of His mystical reality of which we seem to know so little.
Oh, beloved friend, I greet thee.
Let us embrace each other -
never to walk alone in our joys and our pain.
Our hearts are chambers of protection -
hiding each other in prayer -
for all that life wills in our journey.
Oh, beloved friend, I greet thee
as the Holy One within thee - smiles at me.
~Viola Jaynes
