Happy Birthday To Me!

Celebrating my last birthday on the FL coast

I love this photo because it's one of the few that seems to show that I'm only 5ft tall

Tomorrow is my 30th birthday and the birthday cards have been arriving. I love birthday cards... even the ones without the cash ;-)
Seriously though, this is a birthday I feel like I've been waiting forever for. I've had good feelings about the coming year since I was a little girl and feel rather like I'm sitting on a launch pad... T-minus one day and counting...

I honestly can't wait for what's coming. I've met all of the dreamy goals I've set up thus far and am finding that the new one's are getting more and more exciting. I'm beginning to find the confidence that I trusted would come with age (though secretly still long for that which comes with age far beyond my own) and am trying not to explode with the force of the drives being fed by it.

These days creativity is running high and my family seems to be well fed on the energy of it. Each day is an exercise in mindfully balancing those creative urges with my other priorities. Giving my full attention to each of my kids when they need me, completing work that fuels my soul, attention to my marriage and stopping to fully appreciate the many gifts of life are at the top of that list. It's a full day, every day, and sometimes I wish desperately for more hours and more energy, but there isn't a night that I don't snuggle down between my partner and my sweet baby and sigh a happy sigh.

One of these creative projects closest to my heart is the healing website. I receive so many emails from people who want to know how I rid myself of Fibromyalgia, and all of the accompanying disorders, that I have felt almost desperately compelled to do this for a long time. I tried to get it going with SinewMe, but couldn't seem to wrap my head around it. Just when I was ready to put it on the back burner indefinitely, in comes a tenacious young woman from good old Cali determined to have what information I have to give. She asked all the right questions, didn't punk out when faced the tough changes and pounded the research pavement.

Re-inspired I was, and each conversation with her renews my committment and jogs my memory. We've decided to work together to get this ass-kicking healing website off the ground. The vision is huge and we're really excited. Jeff is in on the development side and blowing my mind with the scale of what it could be. We're in the process of looking for a designer and a developer to join the team, and then look out! There's nothing like it out there. We're the proud new owners of HealingRebel.com and I can not wait to see it born into reality.

In other exciting news, you'll be seeing some changes around here as we work to develop this site more fully. Over the next couple of months I'll be filling out the new pages that you'll be able to access with the tabs above, and the CageFree Forums will finally see the light of day.
So, if you haven't already, click on the link to your right and become a Follower. I love to check out your blogs and websites by perusing through the little avatars. Also, CageFree is finally on Twitter, so become a friend and follower to see what interests me, but never makes it to the blog... you may be surprised ;-)

Finally, if you are a web developer or designer, or know one who wants to get in on the HealingRebel wave, drop me a line.

I think this baby has the honest potential to grow into one of the highest traffic sites out there. We need some talent to get it off the ground.
