Celebrate

Celebrate says it all about reaching a milestone birthday. I'm happy. Fact is, at 20, I didn't want to live to be "old" - at that time defined as anything over 40. But I'm thankful to reach this day - for family and for trials and blessings that have shaped me along the journey.

And very special thanks to Brian Yanish at Brian Yanish.com for extending permission to use his painting. Brian urges people to INVENT... a challenge deeply shared as I approach my work. Interestingly, Brian grew up in Pittsford, NY, where the MITA Brain Based Center is located. He really captured the essence of the lovely shops in this quaint village on the Erie Canal.

And, thanks to Ellen Weber for all the inspiration and for making celebration a real event!

Let's keep celebrating...
