As I write this, it is my birthday. We all have them. And this special day each year can affect us like no other. It has always been a sacred day for me. I have always had incredible luck the whole of each February, with particular luck on my birthday and surrounding days. My wishes are powerful this time of year. And this year, I want to use my power for YOU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year, I wish you peace. I wish for you the kind of peace that defies explanation; a peace so rooted in your soul that nothing can shake it. I wish for you to love your own existence the way I do, to see in you the art of creation that is you, and be in awe of everything that you are. I see it in you. May you see it too. This is my wish for the world today. For I am so in love with humanity and this world that I cannot wish for anything else. I see art and love and beauty in you, in humanity, in this existence. May you see all of that too.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
