Happy birthday to me! Pictured here (second from the left) I started partying very early on–as every baby should. As I close out this year of my life, I am thinking of the wishes I will make as I blow out the birthday candles on my cake tonight. Here is the short list: 1) make more art and explore new mediums, 2) spend plenty of quality time with loved ones, 3) show my appreciation for Mother Nature, 4) lots of live music, and 5) much less worrying. My birthday wish for you is that you take time to appreciate art and the beauty in everyday life.
