Birthdays, Swimming, and Remembering
May 4, 2011
I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my seventh book, Awaken: Awakening Your All-Knowing Heart. Soon it will have covers and a spine. My friend, Ed Rosenberg, describes this book as my “life’s work,” and I agree. Basically, this book contains the major themes and passions of my life including: love, intuition, creativity, consciousness, writing , spirituality, and healing.
At the request of friends, I also included many personal stories that reminded me of the importance of my voice and my visions. Many people who know me will be surprised by some of the stories. Friends I have not had the opportunity to meet yet, will say, “What? You’ve got to be kidding me?” All the stories are true.
I am very much in my heart on this day as I am on each May 4th. My son, Mike, was born on this day 49 years ago.
For 34 years I have remembered his birthday without him being in my physical life. For me, this day is a time of sweet rememberings and sad regrets. I light a candle, say a prayer, hug myself, bless Mike’s life, and move through this day.
