Happy Birthday

Today is my birthday! ~ I turn 41 years old today.

If you were with me in person we would sit out in the garden and eat vegan cake and soy ice cream together. Don't worry they both taste out of this world and you would never guess they were vegan. Since you are not here with me in person I still wanted to share my celebration with you ~~ so here are lyrics to one of my favorite songs ~ Private Party by India.Arie. If you aren't familiar with her music do check it out. She is an amazingly spiritual and positive individual who writes beautiful and inspirational music.

On the count of three lets all sing it together...

1..... 2...... 3.....

I'm having a private party

Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'

baby look how far we've come here

I'm havin' a private party

Learning how to love me

Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

I tried to call my mother, but

She didn't get where I was going

I called my boyfriend and he said

Call me back a little later baby

I hung up the phone, I felt so alone

Started to feel a little pity

That's when I realized that I

Gotta find the joy inside of me

I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'
baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

I'm gonna take off all my clothes

Look at myself in the mirror

We're gonna have a conversation

We're gonna heal the disconnection

I don't remember when it started

But this is where it's gonna end

My body is beautiful and sacred

And I'm gonna celebrate it

I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'
baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

All my life (all my life)

I've been looking for (I've been looking for)

Somebody else (else)

To make me whole (ooo)

But I had to learn the hard way (ooo)

True love began with me (ooo)

This is not ego or vanity (ooo)

I'm just celebrating me

I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'
baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

Sometimes I'm alone but never lonely

That's what I've come to realize

I've learned to love the quiet moments

The Sunday mornings of life

Where I can reach deep down inside

Or out into the universe

I can laugh until I cry

Or I can cry away the hurt

I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'
baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday

I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'
baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah

I'm having a private party
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin'
baby look how far we've come here
I'm havin' a private party
