Today is my birthday, I’m 36 years old!

Cheers! It’s my birthday!

I love birthdays, in fact, I am not a Christmas person at all but so I could care less about decorating, presents, a Christmas tree, etc. but I love celebrating birthdays. This year’s birthday includes an Elvis-themed night (Elvis and I share a birthday), brunch with friends, and an afternoon at a museum checking out a great exhibit.

Every year I buy myself a birthday gift; in past years it’s been the new boots or sweater I’ve been eyeing. This year I’m giving myself something a little different, something that helps me achieve the resolution I set for 2015 – to keep poetry alive in my life. This year my gift to myself was enrolling in a six-week, one-on-one poetry workshop with the amazing Megan Falley. Megan Falley is an amazing writer, probably my favorite poet and I am so excited to be taking a workshop from her. I have a feeling the poems that come out of the workshop will be some of my best yet!
