MY BIRTHDAY (and Steph’s Half-Birthday) WISH

ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY (and Stephanie’s half-birthday) IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH AND FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THESE TWO THINGS:

A gift that costs you zero $$:

(Can’t see the video? Click HERE to watch it in YouTube.)

A gift that costs an iTunes song-a-day and will have a life-long impact:

Yesterday, I came home from New York and found a letter waiting for me from my little girl, Fulmoti. She said they are STILL playing Red-Light Green-Light and Duck Duck Goose. My heart was so full!!

From my one-year-older (and Stephanie’s one-half-year-older) heart,

Joy

      First of all…HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL! Secondly, I love this. I actually messaged a woman from my church that I highly respect WHILE I was watching this video. Thank you for your passion and your spunk!

      Sincerely,
      Katrina

      I love knitting group. I’d always heard of them called Stitch-n-B*** though. Just the thought of old ladies sitting around in a retirement home in their little knitting group makes me happy.

      Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Joy! I celebrated the beginning of my Jesus Year (33) yesterday, so it’s definitely official now. Only cool people were born in June 😉

        Haha – Jesus year. Let’s hope it ends differently for you though. (Eee… sacrilegious joke?) Carry on and thanks for the birthday wishes!

      There are a lot of folks I get advice from; very rarely do I go with the first option, even if it what ‘I wanted to hear.’ I try to get information from each of the “tribes” I am a member of so I get a well rounded bunch of information to make a wise decision.

      When giving advice, I always give multiple options so they can make the decision on their own. If I give them only one option and they choose that option, they may see me as “responsible” for the outcome; good or bad. It has only happened once where the friendship was effected, but it is a memory/situation I would love to avoid ever experiencing again.

      Happy Birthday Joy; May it be filled with Fun, Happiness and the many Blessings of God!

      And the real birthday and half-birthday presents? – No hair was burned in the making of this video! I was on edge the whole time watching the hair so close to the flame! I will take it as an early birthday present myself that you are both safe and the bacon was the only thing singed 😉
      May you both gain more wisdom in the coming year and half-year and I pray that your message would catch fire more and more in our generation.
