“Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.” ~Oliver Goldsmith
Life is a journey… and birthdays are a time for rejoicing, reminiscing and reflection. Each year I step back, look at what the year brought me – the rewards, the mistakes, the opportunities – and look ahead to the new year. I have my good friend The Missus read my numerology report and provide me with some thoughts for looking ahead.
According to the legend of numerology, starting Saturday I’ll be in Year 3, which I’m told is a very social year. Year 3, she says, is where all my hard work will pay off. It’s about forward movement in my career and my personal life. Doors will open, and some doors will shut, but the doors I choose to walk through will be ones that pave the way for the year.
As my birthday approaches, I’ve reflected on the past year look and I look ahead into the new year. This year, I’ve embraced my lux side, and I’ve loved every minute of it.
Looking ahead, there’s much to be excited about: celebrating my birthday at a spa in Sedona, embracing my inner Pretty Woman at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, reconnecting with my dear friend for a girls getaway in Mexico, family time in Florida for Thanksgiving, and the trip of a lifetime to Oz. With so much possibility on the horizon, it’s hard not to be excited about Year 3.
The “Year 3″ is also a very creative year. Says my friend, “Celebrate the gift you have been given of creativity… Do not take it for granted.”
A good lesson on the journey of life: Do not take one moment for granted. Happy Birthday, to me, and thanks to all of you for being part of my journey.
Happy birthday, Mel.
They say it’s your birthday. You’re gonna have a good time.
