I enjoy my birthday cookie, red wine, time with my good friend and my love. What could make a better birthday celebration?

Podcast Recap

My 59th birthday blast is filled with love and friends who care. After meditating during an early morning birthday hike up the mountain to the next to upper Zen spot, I share three words that best show my strengths and ask for yours. Birthday greetings and songs from Mark, Josephine, Mary S. and Jo from the U.K. Birthday comments from BC North. All the freebies I enjoyed on my birthday and how disappointments turned to blessings. A wonderful surprising medley of Happy Birthdays by different characters thanks to my voice acting friends. A new birthday version of Fionna’s Brave Companion Song.

Laurie smiles with her hiking hat flipped brim up with rolling foothills in the background.

I totally love my birthday ponder at the next to upper Zen spot!

Smiling and feeling fine on the trail to the next to top Zen Space.

Podcast Recap

It’s a happy hike back up to the next to upper Zen Space where I let go of ingratitude to my own self! An exercise to increase gratitude. I play my Pig Whistle to wish BC Sandy a very happy birthday. Dawny does a whole set of awesome Springtime Foolish Fun. Comments by Dawny, Sandy, and Rabbit (love that name) about the last show. A comment of Rabbit’s sparks an idea. Should we have a BC reading list? BC Mary S. saves the day by letting me know about a comments glitch, which I was able to fix. Mary S also wants to know if we BCs are more prone to having a creative side. What do you think? I have a surprising reaction to a couple of compliments. Are we internalizing ageism and sizeism?

Here I am playing Happy Birthday to Sandy on the pig in my studio-guest room. My mic is in front of me right now and I’m recording the song for day 132.
