March 2026 Week 3

This Life is a Gift!!! I have 3 dates in the calendar this week to highlight -
My 60th birthday
St Patricks Day
The 1st day of spring

First the big 60 yikes haha-
I am now on the other side of my family celebrating my 60th birthday with me last weekend, wow wow. So here was my plan that we also perfectly put into action lol. It was a version of what we called our So Cal triathlon - all in one day the group of us surfed nine waves, hiked for 90 minutes and played nine holes of golf - we did it all between sunrise and sunset, followed by an amazing dinner. It made me feel so blessed in so many ways: first of all to be able to have my family with me and further, for them to want to be with me and amazing to be healthy enough and strong enough to do all of those activities with the most perfect weather.
Now on the other side of that weekend is the reality that now I am 60 lol and now what? I get to remember every day that this life is a gift if I choose to look at it that way or I can choose to focus on the people and the situations that are not as I would like them to be right now, but that’s not really much fun now is it ha ha.

Onto St Patrick's Day -
This week on St Patrick’s Day I took a yoga class here in Southern California with a young instructor who had an older wiser intention for us all. She said why don’t we all try today to create our own luck, the luck of the Irish. She challenged us to create it by being open to the experiences that are in front of us. I love the idea of that. It’s not just luck that happens, It’s luck that we create by letting go and being open to receive.

Finally, Spring begins Friday -
Looking ahead, tomorrow is the first day of spring. Are you ready? As I always say, I actually love my wintering, shorter days time of year so this is a big leap that I am away during this transition time. This week, lets Take care of ourselves, and see if there is any left over spring cleaning needed so we can embrace - this life as a gift!
