Happy Birthday! Whenever you can't think of what to write, think of Jerry Seinfeld who wrote and created a sitcom about nothing...or write about Kramer and his crazy hair and antics...or continue to write about you and your observations and experiences and you did so beautifully and skillfully in this post.

Happy Birthday to you, Shannon! Your words (in general + including this beautiful post) are so appreciated -- but mostly because it gives a glimpse of your magical soul and the magical One who created it <3

We’re glad you didn’t know what to write about today or we woulda missed your divinely inspired confession that joined the nest-building blue birds in weaving a nest of straw in our hearts that turned to gold, golden encouragement giving us aimless pilgrims an honest, sensitive companion who shares our human dilemma of confessing ears that do not hear and eyes that do not see. Together we walk and do not faint.

Happy Birthday!! Thank you for the honesty and authenticity in what this moment in life holds for you. May you find rest in the ways you need it; patience in waiting for your muse to return to stay, and trust that she will; and time to celebrate the journey that has created who you are today! Thank you for the words you give us, and may this next year of life nourish your soul!

This was a magical read this morning. Happy Birthday. And savor that ☕! (I need to start dropping some hints to my husband to do the same!)

Happy birthday… And more than that as I work through the eighth or nine month of theignition adventure, I keep going back to the Tillard de Chardin prayer about trusting in the work of God… It’s hard. I always think I have to run the show, and this following thing is the antithesis of that. You are a writer, Shannon , re-wilded mother, visionary… You are so many things. How wonderful that you took the respite, how wonderful that you got to the quiet… Who knows where all this is going? Thank you for the love you have for your children for your husbandfor God. May God continue to shower her love upon all of you. Amen. Happy Pentecost. Enjoy your 41st year on this planet.
