Golden Birthday is A Golden Opportunity
My dear friend Alexis left me a comment on Facebook asking my what I wanted for my 30th birthday.
Good question, Alexis. What do I want?
Truth be told, there isn't much I need. Which is where I take that question first. When asked I immediatley think, "Oh how sweet of them to ask. I don't need anything! Aww Shucks!"
I already am so blessed to have most everything I need. Loving, supportive, fun friendships and family, a job that connects me to people and is in a great place, air to breathe, the ability just to get up and walk every day, wisdom from past expereinces. I could go on...
But Alexis didn't ask me what I needed, she asked me what I wanted to mark this momentous occassion of turning 30. This is a Golden Opportunity to examine what I want. Soooo....
What do I want....
World peace.
Equality for all people.
For my body to become perfectly balanced and the weight to magically drop off.
To wake up everyday feeling beautiful and desirable.
For eyes that don't look wonky or crossed in certain angles in pictures.
To always be articualte.
A perfect pair of jeans.
Boots that flatter my muscular calfs and make me feel sexy.
A boyfreind who is everything I am looking for and some things I never knew I wanted.
More hours in the day.
White sparkly teeth.
Un-sensitive skin.
Balanced hormones.
But Alexis, I know those weren't the things you were expecting me to request. I do understand the desire to make a purchase for an object or service that you know would bring the recipient joy.
I feel a little awkward in making any request, because I myself am a terrible gift-giver. I always remember a person's birthday, and I almost always remember to call/sing with a birthday wish. But what do I get them? What perfect gift can I give them to express how glad I am to know them and that they are born and to commemorate that day?!!!
So, I googled wish list websites, and took some time to think about what I wanted to put on it. It can serve simply as inspiration- I don't need to have some of the items exactly as they are listed. Here is the link:

Maybe it might be fun for all of my friends and family to start one. That way in the event that we want to buy a gift, we have a place to check out each other's wishes.
I am by no means suggesting a gift is necessary. Really just your presence alone in my life is gift enough. Truly. However, if you feel inclined- I would love it just as much. Oh and let me say too that handmade gifts are ALWAYS appreciated.

Soooo much to share
So much has gone on since i last wrote. So here is a mini update:
1.) My favorite holiday, Halloween cam e and went. I won the costume contest at work, dressed as my alter ego and nick-namesake "Cupcake". I also attended a surprise Halloween wedding, and met up with friends downtown at the Gypsy for awesome late, late night ( in bed around 4am!)
(I tried to post a picture, but it seems my pics from my new camera are too big.. grrrr..)
2.) I have begun planning my trip to Egypt more seriously, for January 2009. Thursday I go for my vaccine shots (hep a & b). Once I know when I am good to go as far as the effectiveness of the shots, I will be booking the tour.
3.) My golden birthday is fast approaching.30 on the 30th!!!! I am sooooooo excited. A gathering is in the works.
4.) I have been working out with my new workout buddy, Beth. She is so great- such a fantastic motivator. I really lucked out because only is she a great workout partner, but she is such fun to be around. Yay Beth!!!! I Am also feeling better about myself as a result of making this a habit. I am feeling stronger and more motivated.
5.) I ordered new business cards. Over the course of the next couple of months, and more intently after my return from Egypt, I am going to be working more with my intuitive gifts. Not all of you know about this side of me- I have for a long time, had a lot of fear around what I could actually do. Fear and judgement. What I am working on now is openness and acceptance of it. Yes I am psychic. Yes I can help people. Yes, I can do work that feels fulfilling and purposeful. I may expand more on this later...
6.) My ex and I are rebuilding our friendship. Believe when I say I wasn't so sure I would ever be in a place to do such a thing, a year ago. But in fact I have come a long way in my forgiveness process. And the truth is we miss each other a lot- the connection is deep and quite psychic. He is a good person who has made some f-ed up choices in the past, and for once in his life is actually stopping to be accountable and do the work he needs to in order to be a more present, loving, trusting, happy person. I am proud of him b/c I know it hasn't been easy.
7.) I have taken to having baths more frequently. I get a lot of my psychic information when I am in the shower or the bath tub. Also in the car. In my dreams. Walking through the mall. Movie theaters....I am working on boundaries and turning it off when I don't want to work. But the bath is a nice way for me to literally cleanse the energy of the day and the people I have interacted with, to be open to any info that arrives via reflection, and to get centered and grounded before I sleep.
So- that's the newest stuff. Oh and that for my birthday I have decided to finally get a cat. I will keep you posted on that development. In the meantime, I am kitten-proofing the apartment.
Sending you all love and hope you are enjoying the awesome autumness,
Paula
