Yes folks, today’s the day. My Libran scales are in balance and another year clocks over. I’m not one of those women who’s coy about age: I’m happy to tell you I’m 54 today, and it feels wonderful!
And how very special: it seems I am honoured to share the same birthday as Rumi, who was born 800 years ago.
So first, experience alongside me this poem with music and images, Say I am You:
And now come join me and a very young Mary Chapin Carpenter to celebrate, Down at the Twist and Shout:
Y’all have a great day now!

Happy Birthday Tess! Hope your day and year and life is filled to overflowing with blessings!
Thank you all so much, it’s wonderful to hear from you all, and I’m blushing (but only a little bit!) to hear all the nice things you’ve said. And Elaine, yes, thank you so much for the ecard – I love it.
Back down to earth now. At least for a little while.
Congratulations! Happy Birthday!
