Goal For The Green

The music here is upbeat, but awe inspiring at the beauty of nature and our beautiful planet!  I think you will agree…Enjoy!

No..I’m not going to tell you my age.  I’m usually quiet about this day and choose to keep the celebration private.  This year no such luck!

My client, 24-year old (autistic young woman) has been marking the days off on the calender, and letting everybody know I’m an old lady…Hmmmm!  It doesn’t help that both her Mother and Sister had their birthdays last week, so she has been singing Happy Birthday all the time too!

To me it is just another day..although the celebration is to have achieved another year of life!  So, I’m choosing to  share with you a list of famous people who also have shared this day as their own!  Have a splendid day and enjoy…..
