30 Days To Turning 30
By: Atufe Lydia Sarah
Tags: Personal, Birthday Party, Birthday

My twenties have been one hell of a rollercoaster and I’m so glad it’s finally coming to an end. In 30 days, a new decade of my life will begin. I hope that in 10 years when I am looking back at my thirties, I shall have more to celebrate and be thankful for.

But today, I am thankful for life. That I am still here is proof that God is not done with me. That my journey is far from over. I might have failed woefully in the past years but I am not a failure. I’m capable of success. I was created to stand out and excel. My past does not define me. if anything, it has prepared me for what lies ahead. My future is bright. I’m a divine champion.

I have made a lot of mistakes, but I took the lessons from my mistakes to heart, and I’m grateful for every one of them.

I may be single, but I am genuinely happy. I may be broke, but I am content.

I am on a journey to leading a purposeful and fulfilling life through deliberate and conscious effort. And that is something worth celebrating.

I may not have traveled beyond the walls of my village, but I’m only 30. There are a lot of years ahead of me, and the world is not going anywhere, is it?

I know a lot of people had accomplished so much by the time they turned 30, but who says our timing is the same? The house, the cars, the awards, the money, the accomplishments will come. One day, at a time.

I am in no hurry to get them all. The goal is to do something every day that takes me closer to my dream.

I have never threw a birthday party in my whole life. I know 30 would be the perfect time to throw one, but 31st wouldn’t be bad either, right? God willing, there would be money in the bank and a spouse and a kid to celebrate it with.
So It Is Summer Time…

What? July? Half of the year is gone. The summer of 2020 is here. Tokyo Olympic was supposed to be happening soon. This weekend many would have got together with family and friends for BBQ and see the fireworks. Who would have thought that we, as in everybody, would be sheltering-in-place more than 3 months after we were first told to stay home?

It’s true this has been a time of introspection for some. Being home bound when it was still relatively cold outside was O.K. Even as early spring turned spring, it wasn’t too bad to be home and not spending as much time behind the wheel as most of us do. But now, it’s officially summer. It’s time for us to go outside, especially because we live in a paradise called Southern California.

Yet this paradise along with all the other cities and towns in California are closing down again today. As my big birthday approaches this month, I’m bracing myself for the worst. Even though I would like to have a gathering of people I’ve known for a long time, short time and everything in between to celebrate my new decade, I am very much in equanimity about however it may unfold. I’ll be just as happy and grateful that I am safe, healthy and living with comfort in this tumultuous time in the world. Given the current affairs of our country, I can’t take anything for granted, and I thank God every day for all the blessings in my life.
35TH BIRTHDAY BLUES

35TH BIRTHDAY BLUES

I don't usually do this but I decided a few weeks ago to start to write my life experiences and thoughts on life for no other purpose than self development.

And as I turn 35 today I can't help but look back on my very crazy but mostly pleasant life and be greatful to God that I am of sound mind (mostly sha) and body.

Over the past two months or so I've been through personal experiences that I can only in my limited vocabulary describe as traumatising.

While these experiences threatened to make me view the world and people in a negative manner I decided that it's important that I keep trying to give out the very best of myself to every human I meet till they don't deserve it.

I've met some exceptional human beings some are still in my life and others aren't and I'm super greatful for each and everyone of them and the experiences we shared. To be honest some of the kindness I've received I didn't deserve.

A few life lessons I've learned over the past few years are:

1. Treat people the way you'd like to be treated.

2. You don't have to be a super fucking activist on Instagram just simply stand up for yourself in your daily life and in doing so you may just be standing up for someone else.

3. As hard as it is try not to be a hypocrite.

4. Don't be a sheep, use your head and think. I say this mainly to people who have had spells cast on them by the witchcraft called religion.

5. Money is nothing and at the same time it's everything.

6. Eat fucking well.

7. Be self aware. Ask/get help if you need it

8. Read a little more, so you can educate your kids.

9. Have as much sex as you can.

10. Humble yourself, before life humbles you.

With all that said, I vow to continue working on myself and keep my mind in a positive place always. To not be changed by the cares of this world that want to do nothing but snuff a bitch.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes so far.... I'm off partake in some of the legal pleasures of life which include stuffing my face with cake and drinking myself into a wonderful stupor.

Tags: Life Lessons, Birthday, Self Improvement, Beyourself, Mental Health

So recently I completed 38 years on this planet.

I am not going to claim that I have grown wiser or more mature because that’s something people around me should be saying. ;)

But one thing is for sure that, my overall perspective towards life has definitely broadened.

There are moments when I look back at my life and think, ‘What the hell was I thinking??!!’ So age, time, and exposure to good and bad events surely have made some positive changes.

Anyways here is the list of 38 best life lessons that I have learned so far (In no particular order)

1)Good or Bad — Nothing is permanent.

2) Fewer expectations = Fewer heartbreaks

3) Instead of waiting for the world to applaud for me, I must learn to celebrate myself

4) Consistency is extremely difficult to master

5) Maturity is not a muscle that I will build with age. It’s a conscious choice.

6) Love is a verb

7) I still don’t know a lot of things about myself

8) I must reflect on how I talk to myself

9) I am 38 but I can still talk about what I want to become when I grow up

10) There is something to learn from everyone

11) Mental health has to be a top priority

12) Vulnerability takes courage

13) ‘No’ is easy to spell but difficult to say

14) Learning to say ‘no’ to unnecessary things brings immense freedom

15) Lack of time is never the reason. It’s the lack of willingness

16) It’s not easy to never care what others might think about me. But it's an essential skill that I am trying to master.

18) I must keep the child within me alive

19) Sometimes I might be the villain in my own story

20) I should never define who I am on the basis of what I do

21) The real adventure is challenging my own limitations

22) It’s better to fail than to regret

23) Mental decluttering is must

24) I am not the same person that I was in my 20s

25) Being a parent is a constant learning experience

26) Communication without listening and understanding is just plain noise

27) I must listen to my body

28) I must listen to my thoughts (especially the negative ones)

29) Life is unpredictable (2020 wisdom)

30) With great responsibility comes great power

31) Happiness is an emotion, not a compulsion

32) Self-acceptance is a journey

33) It’s important to spend some time doing nothing

34) To be unapologetic about who I am

35) There is no strict timeline to follow in life. I can do anything at any age

36) My best days are not over… They will never be

37) Never to be ashamed to ask for help

38) Age is just a number

A day to spend at home with family, perhaps starting or completing that home project that you have been working on or designing. Your focus to detail will certainly make it as close to perfect as possible. Also a good day to draw up legal documents, such as a will, as you are mentally sharp and focused. If you are a student and working on a paper, the energy should be conducive to achieving your goal.

Universal Year = 4 (solid foundations, hard work, economics, )

Universal Month = 5 (speculation, travel, sales, advertising)

Universal Day = 25 (perfection, mental acuity, home)

It’s Your Birthday!

If you were born on the 25th of the month, you have very high standards for yourself, and sometimes seem to procrastinate because you are looking for the perfect solution to any given situation or challenge that arises. You are intuitive to the point that you need a quiet living space to maintain your calm. While you typically will say “no” automatically to new ideas and projects, take some time to consider them fully before rejecting them. While you are trying to achieve perfection in every area of your life, be mindful of seeming lazy, critical of others for not achieving your goals, and being erratic-going from one thing to the next with no apparent rhyme or reason.

Chinese New Year — Year of The Rat

Today marks the beginning of the New Year in Chinese Culture. Those born in the years 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and 2020, are under the influence of The Rat.

Considered a lucky and prosperous sign (couples married in the year of The Rat honor it for children), it attracts wealth and prosperity. Liked by all, Rat is clever and quick thinking. However, while the financial and professional sides of Rat’s life are going well, health and relationships could suffer. Rat must be mindful that while wealth and surplus can be a good thing, hoarding must be avoided.

Lucky numbers for Rat are: 2,3

Lucky colors: blue, gold, green

Unlucky numbers are: 5,9

Unlucky colors: yellow, brown
A Streaming Birthday Celebration for Michelle Pfeiffer
By: Frank Calvillo
Tags: Birthday, Streaming, Movies, Field Of Streams, Michelle Pfeiffer

Welcome to Field of Streams, Cinapse’s weekly guide of what’s playing on your favorite streaming services. What’s new on Netflix and Amazon Prime? What do we recommend on Kanopy, Hoopla, and Shudder? We’ve got it all. From monthly roundups, to curated top 5 lists, to reviews of our favorites available now… it’s here. We built it for you, so come and join us in the Field of Streams.

Michelle Pfeiffer turned 62 last week and anyone who knows me, knows that I could not let her birthday go by uncelebrated, even in the midst of a pandemic. Since we all happen to be trapped in our homes (or at least, those of us who are smart and can), every streaming platform is seeing an abundance of activity as the majority of the public look for entertaining movie options to help pass the outbreak.

It’s only fitting then that I pay tribute to my favorite actress with a collection of some of her most iconic and/or beloved films around her birthday; all of which can currently be easily found for everyone’s streaming pleasure. Each title represents a watershed moment for the actress in one way or another and all the movies here show how even during times of uncertainty, there’s always La Pfeiffer to help get us through.

Scarface (Hulu)

Every other actress in Hollywood chased the role of Elvira in Brian DePalma’s ultra-violent 1983 remake of Scarface, but few went as far as Pfeiffer. The stories of her securing the role (the struggling actress repeatedly flew in multiple times on her own dime for audition after audition and accidentally cutting leading man Al Pacino with a plate when she got too far into character during the final callback) have been well-documented. Also well-known, are the lengths to which Pfeiffer transformed herself for the part, which included slimming her already thin frame even further by taking on a strict diet of Marlboro’s and tomato soup to help her achieve the physicality of a coke addict. The move may have backfired when the film’s schedule stretched to six months, but all the risks paid off. Pfeiffer’s work as the drug lord’s wife in Scarface is one of the earliest high points of her career. She not only holds her own amongst the predominantly male cast, but also shows more of a connection with her character than she’d displayed in previous screen turns. Her moments opposite the show-stopping Pacino shows an actress so in tune with her character and the world she belongs in, making it impossible to ever dismiss her.
I Turn Eighteen Years-Old Tomorrow and I’m Terrified
By: Melissa White
Tags: Coming Of Age, Youth, Growing Up, Birthday

I turn eighteen years-old tomorrow and I’m terrified.

Even though it’s not about legitimate things to be afraid of right now, I still feel it. I can’t escape that pound in my chest when I think about a few months from now. My safety net will fall and I’ll be forced to jump into a life I’m not ready for. Or at least think I’m not ready for.

It’s absurd think I’m running out of time while being so young. The world has told me that I should have accomplished certain things by now. You know, have lived a little, discover who I am. Maybe these are just from coming of age movies, but that doesn’t erase the shame I feel for not having done them.

I have no clue who I am and don’t see it coming to me any time soon. Therefore I have failed. It doesn’t help that without the societal pressure I still would feel that way. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ve failed myself in the past four years. I lost my youth to anxiety, depression and isolation. I let them control every part of me; there wasn’t a second of any day I wasn’t reminded of my cowardice and nonexistent self-worth. Everything moved so fast around me but I was unable to grasp on to any of it. It was so damaging, but I thought there was no other way. What else is life like for the people who are left behind?

The world simply isn’t made for people like me. All it will do is torment me until I decide to give up. There were times I thought no one would care if I vanished. Other times I blamed how I was raised, the people around me, even the point in time I was born. But deep down I knew it all came back to me. I was the one who decided not to do anything about how I felt. Things weren’t right from as early as I can remember. That’s the way it has always been, and always will be. It took me sixteen years to tell one person what I was going through. Even longer for my parents to know.

I think I can now say things got better. Not great, but better. My past isn’t a stain I have to recon with, but an old friend I can turn to. Something to remind me of where I never want to be again. This fear I can’t escape doesn’t have to be negative. I guess it could represent a desire to carve a better life from here on out, because I know I deserve it.

I turn eighteen years-old tomorrow and it’s only the beginning. There is so much more left in me, even if I can’t see it. I’m finally starting to realize that my life isn’t doomed from here on out. At my ripe age of seventeen years and three hundred sixty five days, I now know that I’m worth it.

Birthday!
By: Kusumanjali Patel
Tags: Blessings, Gratitude, Birthday, Orphanage

I was all happy and prepared for my birthday. Wishes started flowing in starting from 12. I did all my favorite things. First in the line was to visit Krishna, next comes swimming, dancing, reading, taking a walk-in drizzle, tea, watching Friends. Kept the recent buzz of visiting orphanages during birthdays at last.

Children were watching TV. the idiot box! I haven’t given it much thought as to why I hate TV. Met children of age from 5 to 16. Some were friendly while some were hesitant to talk. It took a while for me to get them talking. Was happy to know they’re comfortable in the place, they get good food, clothes, education. All necessities were provided. I wanted to present them with story books and board games. Couldn’t play with them when they invited as I was to run some errands and end my day! I was a second away from announcing that it was my birthday when something just hit me.

How do they feel? Are they going to feel happy that they’re going to get sweets? Or sad that they don’t have any such day to celebrate, no family to celebrate with? The latter has more weight! Shouldn’t we always be careful before boasting about our privileges in front of the deprived? I was about to spread negative vibes instead of the positive. I would have felt blessed and happy thinking that I was doing a good deed on my birthday, but I would have ended up hurting the feelings of little hearts who might not get to celebrate anything any sooner.

I learnt an important lesson that day.. Think Before,

Talking about your good health in front of the sick

Talking about your salary in front of the unemployed

Talking about your degrees in front of the illiterate

Talking about your things you own in front of those who cannot afford

It is quite hard to digest a misfortune. I felt grateful for everything I was blessed with, so I waved goodbye saying, “Happy Children’s Day!”
What do Sales and Marketing Professionals Love? A Reason to Have a Conversation

Tags: Marketing, Customer Experience, Birthday, Customer Service, Engagement

Today is my birthday and since I work at a company that’s all about building great customer relationships, I feel obligated to point out the customer engagement winners and losers on what is quite possibly the easiest excuse for marketing to reach out in the B2C world.

Winners:

Bespoke Post-A+ for a $10 off on a $45 purchase. I’ll take 22% discount all day!!

Duke University-A we have a special relationship, you’ve helped me get to where I am today and I appreciate you remembering my birthday. I don’t expect anything else from you.

Chiptole-B+ for giving me free chips and guac getting me to buy a burrito bowl today. Obviously, a free burrito bowl would have been an A+

MIXT-B for a free cookie or drink. I’ll likely redeem at some point but a free salad would definitely get me in the door sooner.

E-trade-B- for the email letting me know you care. I don’t know what you could offer so I can’t fault you.

Losers:

Stitch Fix-C nice looking email but no offer to incentivize me to purchase. You did ask me to promote your service to my friends on MY birthday, which would normally offend me but I like your service and we’re friends. However, you sent me a “get $50 and my friend gets $50” two days ago and my birthday offer is only “get $25 give $25”?!? What’s up with that? Anyway, here’s the better offer for anyone interested.

jetBlue-C- It’s honestly been so long since I’ve flown your airline that I forgot I was even a member. Perhaps a few free miles or a ticket voucher could get me to re-engage.

Qua The Spa at Soma Grand-D- for a poorly rendered email with no offer. I appreciate you remembering my birthday though!

Everyone Else -F there’s no easier excuse to reach out and you blew it!

Whatever it takes to regain control of your finances and life in general is available to you energywise today. You may find that others are willing to assist you in this task, as they see if you are in balance with your life, it frees you up to help them, as well. You may be seeing some of the fruits of your hard work towards achieving or maintaining stability, and this is giving you the feeling of accomplishment, which is well-deserved. Using tact and diplomacy is critical today, as well as quiet observation. Perhaps that quiet person is one of your greatest supporters and assistants. Take a moment to recognize them, maybe by just saying “Thank you”. Once you see the big picture, it makes it easier for you to choose the direction of your future path.

Universal Year = 4 (hard work, solid foundations, economics, thrift)

Universal Month = 6 (community, home, health, food, beauty)

Universal Day = 20 (cooperation, teamwork, diplomacy, taking charge of financial matters)

It’s Your Birthday!

If you were born on the twentieth of the month, you are a team player, working with others better than alone. While you are diplomatic and tactful, always the peacemaker, be mindful that you stand up for yourself and your accomplishments, not allowing others to take credit for your hard work. You are fond and protective of your family, and a peaceful home life is needed.

Potential career choices for you could include: politician, author, pastor, musician, mediator, author, analyst

AN ODE TO IBISO EDWARDS

ON THE CELEBRATION OF HER BIRTHDAY.

Ibid Lolia!

How amazing to see this star lustrously shining on time

Anchored and rooted firmly in God at Prime

Created like a celestial doozy to purity earth

Gliding the gospel across tribes and onto all hearts

Planting the seeds of salvation on every home

Oh, what a star that brightly glints all day.

Ibi Lolia!

That oval yellow star that shines from the south

Gleaming in radiance splendour to the north

Hailed and worshipped from the east to the west

Tender as the spring snow and still as the deep blue sea-

Rising to attract both old and young beneath the moonlight

Sprinkling hope and knowledge across barren lands.

Ibi Lolia!

The effulgent nightingale of Kalabari

Whose twinkling voice raised the death and faithless women

Comforting the weak men by chaining their doubts

How great is the voice of this glistening Angel?

Repelling the darkest thumb with heaven melodies

Like the cosmic rays, raining blessings upon all women-

Ibi Lolia

Oh, how glamorous was the silent night-skies when this star was born?

How harmonious was the sound of the music on that day?

How sweet were the golden sounds in that city and the starlight night?

Perhaps it's a full moon surrounded by white and red roses

Oh may God bless the womb that bears this Angelic star

The star that illuminates the night and knights of our nation.
Birthday Morning Reflections.
By: Jb Owen
Tags: Self Reflection, Introspection, Greatness, Birthday

For the last 16 years the ‘ birthday fairy’ has come the night before and decorated the house for the kids’ birthday. When the kids got old enough they secretly did it for me and the last few years Peter has been the birthday fairy.

This morning for whatever reason, I woke up to no steamers or balloons, no presents or cards hiding about. I wasn’t upset or hurt. Just curious what it meant to me, to not receive what I was expecting.

While I was writing in my journal with everyone else still sleeping I checked my messages and Facebook… no birthday wishes??

It seemed like it was just another day and was not my birthday because no one had acknowledged it yet. Until I realized that maybe the most important person to recognize my birthday is me!

Me, thanking God, sitting in my own awareness that maybe our birthdays are for us to reflect on, for us to celebrate our own existence, and honor the present of ourselves.

I realized very quickly that me making my birthday a time of genuine love for me was the best gift I could give myself. The real gift! The most valuable gift.

And as much and Peter and the kids made the day great when they woke up, I had time to feel the deep appreciation and importance of my birthday; from me- to me.

I had time to sit and reflect and decide what I want my 51st dimension to look like. What do I want to manifest? Attract? Become? Bring into existence in this 51st dimension of me in this form- in this human experience.

I share this because we all have a birthday that comes every year. When we are kids it’s about presents and toys. Then it’s about parties and going out. Then our birthdays turn to romance and being spoiled by our significant others till one day we realize our birthdays are about our existence, our birth, and life. Not as a consumer or validated person but as a Being that SEES their own importance. Feels their own meaning. Celebrates themselves.

I am blessed this morning that nothing happened outside of me to represent my birthday externally but instead, I birthed the awareness inside of me how special and precious I am. There is no one like me since the beginning of time, and there is no one to come that will ever be me for all of eternity going forward. That’s incredible! That means something. That is a gift to be treasured.

I feel so blessed this birthday that I was not distracted by what I used to think mattered in my birthday but instead blessed by the true awareness of me.

I hope you feel this way on your birthday and I share it because imagine the world we would live in if each of us, every year on our birthdays, truly felt the most amazing gift ever given. The gift of themselves. The gift of their life. The gift they bring to the world. The gift that they matter. The gift that they possess. The gift that they see in themselves. The gift that they were created to be so very special indeed

You are that gift. Celebrate you!

My solar revolution
Tags: Friendship, Birthday, Love, Self Love Courage, Connection

Today is a great day where I start something new and start something scary. Happy Birthday to me! 🦁🦄

Past few weeks have been extremely intense, eye opening and have started to revolutionize my inner world. I parted ways with someone who made me feel loved in way I have never experienced love before. The pain of losing that connection started leading me to new people in my life who started showing me parts of myself that I lost and I needed to reconnect with. Although I was going through hell of a heartbreak, it still felt like the universe was on my side, helping me, supporting me and healing me.

For years I had been dealing with myself being emotionally unavailable and I didn't even know I had become that person until Vashishta said it out loud to me. He said ..”Harsha you don’t show emotions and hide yourself “, I went from wtf are you talking about to oh shit he is right! Vashishta nudging me, pushing me and working on me and Vashita- my soul sister, my ride or die inspiring me to be myself, love myself and accept myself everyday is the reason a new Harsha is coming to life today. With this level of unconditional support and love that I have received, I have been able to build some more new and meaningful connections. One of the most inspirational and realest connections I have built is with Rahul Dada.

I have barely known Rahul Dada for a few weeks but he gives me his time, love, support & trust so easily and so unconditionally. His personality and journey is teaching me how to live each moment to the fullest and as authentically as possible.So, I called him today to seek his blessing for my birthday and I asked him to give me one advice that I must follow this year. He said.. Harsha start writing at least two articles a week for the next 365 days on medium. I said ok but I am scared as hell to do this and he said this is exactly why you should do this. So.. Here I am publishing my first article while embracing my vulnerability fully. Also, his love for Pallavi vahini is what makes me believe in love again. It’s been such a reassurance to know love exists and love will find me one day when I am ready.

But until love finds me, I am going to find myself. I am going to accept myself & my emotions fully. I am going brave vulnerability and going to ask for help when I need it. I am going to stay open to all possibilities. I am going to forgive myself for not knowing better. I am going to love myself and others unconditionally. I am going to keep seeking inspiration from all these wonderful people that I have met in my journey of self revolution — Vashu, Rahul Dada, Vashishta, Himanshu, Ashna, Deepa, Jasmeet, Juhi & my baby sister Tanu. I love you all so much and thank you for being a part of my journey.
My first two weeks on Medium.

My first two weeks on Medium.

Photo by Jiyeon Park on Unsplash

Roughly two weeks ago, I decided to write my first post after thinking about it for so long. I sat down, spent a few hours writing my first post, went to bed, woke up, proofread the article, fixed some late-night typo’s and pressed publish.

My stats on my very first post

I have gotten 50 views on the article. 40% of this (20 views) was from Medium internally and the other 60% was from my network (LinkedIn, Facebook Groups, family, and friends). Nothing really to brag about, yet I’m happy that 50 people were interested enough to open (and hopefully read) my post.

Since I signed up recently, I’m not eligible to join the Medium Partner Program until I reach 100 followers.

Followers

About 5 of these followers are people from my network. But most of them come from an inspiring post by Justiss Goode aimed at helping new Medium members reaching 100 followers. It’s remarkable to see that more established writers take the time and effort to help some of us newbies out. 🙏

A few others come primarily from interacting with people in comments on other people’s posts. I followed some writers who made good posts in my niche (Web Development) and some of them followed me back.

By this rate, I will be eligible for the Medium Partner Program in another 4 weeks or so.

Publications

I had no idea that Medium had a concept of publications when I signed up. I found this out after posting my first post and reading an article on how to get more exposure for your articles.

Since then, I have written a second and third article, both are submitted to two different publications. I haven’t heard back from either publication, so I’ll publish an update on my 1-month Medium anniversary here again.

Conclusion

I’m very satisfied with my humble start on Medium, and I am very excited to continue my journey. As promised, I’ll post another update at the 1-month mark to showcase my progress and learnings.

Let me know your experiences, learning, or feedback in the comments.

PS: It’s my birthday today, so be kind on the feedback :)

Labor

9 years ago today, I gave birth to you, mi hijo.

For three days, with your father by my side, I labored to bring you into this world (via C-Section) and we have in a sense labored ever since.

Your Abo, my father, always told me parenting would be the toughest job I would ever love. He could not have been more right.

Your father, my amor, and I labor in the typical ways, to clothe and feed you. But we also labor to ensure that you know your totality, that you defy the status quo and that you be an open-minded, empathic change agent.

As we labor, we witness your growth and it is wondrous. Because of our labor, you speak two languages. Because of our labor, you know we cannot assume what a person’s story is based on appearance alone. Because of our labor, you know who you are.

You, mi hijo, connect me to the past, to the present and to the future. It is because of you that I know magic and immortality exist.

Feliz Noveno Cumpleaños, mi maravilla. ¡Loor al 1 de diciembre de 2.010!
