woot

i just discovered 24

last night after being rejected by Hukilau, Sol and I decided to celebrate bday at the Park Chow.
Fabulous dining experience. George was our lifeline to correct wine.

Lasagna and tuna. yum.

and then an unexpected phone call....

i am giggling again!

FELICIDADES A MI!

34!

Alright, I've been in a FOUL@$$ mood for the better part of a month.
I brought in the cumpleanos bailando salsa last night at the Luka's with random strangers.
AND IT ROCKED.

Thanks so much to my parents who didn't use birth control 5 years after their marriage to make this all happen.

Since then I've spent the last 34 years learning, living, laughing, brooding, pooping, bruising, brushing, driving, writing, dancing, and LOVING.

I have a cute picture of me at like 5 I'll put up tomorrow...but YOU, WORLD, have given me a womb to be in, so this morning I snuggled in bed while people called and wished me happy, happies.

I sang a salsa version of the happy birthday song for my voice mail greeting. Apparently people thought it was me live and have been singing along...THAT'S FUN!

Happy Birthday, mami and papi! Happy Life Day to me!

Un placer esta aqui, mundo!

Y un bendicion a todo que sepan amor y paz!

Amma Northern California Tour: Day 2

For some spiritual resurgence I headed out to Castro Valley a second time this week. Got there about 5 pm and left this morning about the same time.

Stars? Pretty amazing?

Expectation? Pretty low.

I wanted to get away and get some perspective.

Some 16 pages of journal, 12 hours, and 2000 people later, I think I found some perspective on this community.
