The most interesting thing about my birthday is how it gathers the magnitude my life’s experience into one moment that comes once a year.
the thought that I keep coming back to is simple: I am happy to be alive.
I’m grateful to live a life I’m proud of, surrounded by family and community I get to support and be supported by. I get to Witness spirit play with itself, I get to feel the intersection of our shared aliveness.
Sometimes Things don’t always “work out” or go “as planned,” and The question I return to again and again is — what is this here to show me about me? How can each moment illuminate the path of truth, deepen my resilience, and at the same time soften me into trust and clarity?
I’m not perfect, but I am proud of the man I’ve become. Over the past few years I’ve found a deeper freedom to be me without fear of what others think — and it feels phenomenal.
Today I want to say thank you…
💛 To my dad, who worked hard, did his best, and gave me life. Thanks for that!
💛 To my husband, whose endless support, curiosity, and playfulness make every day an adventure.
💛 To my friends and colleagues, who remind me that the people we surround ourselves with shape our world — and mine is filled with the best of the best.
💛 To my students and all of you who trust me with your growth — you inspire me and change me for the better every single day.
Next time you see a flower, stop. Pause. Smell it. Inhale the magic of your own aliveness.
Big, big love. 🫶🏼
