It’s My Birthday!

I love birthdays! Today, I’m one year older, and hopefully one year wiser. I’m ringing in 67 with a wish for vibrance, vigor, and grace throughout 2019.

Our family ritual is that no matter where we each are in the world, we synchronize our alarms and try to harmonize the birthday song on Skype in our pajamas. Another tradition that I look forward to every year is the traditional birthday video filled with pictures of our family throughout the past year.
