I sit here on my last day as a 28 year old, thinking a lot of things. I think of where it’s all gone, what I have to show for it, will the next 28 be any better…

I think about people I’ve known who have touched my life, jobs I’ve had that helped put me in the position I’m in today, places I’ve visited and left and if I’ve made a difference to anyone there. See, I feel like I’ve been lucky to do things in my life so far that have left me unbound from answering to anyone but myself. I was only 14 when I first experienced love, just 15 when I started planning out my first business venture, 16 when I recorded my first song… I’ve lived in small towns, college towns, and big cities. Visited places where everyone knew my name and places where no one could understand me. I’ve faced my biggest fears, my deepest personal issues, and ended up better after it was over. I’ve risked a lot but have gained much more.

What’s funny, is that my thoughts mainly focus on the risks I’ve yet to take. Bigger chances that I know will prove to bear greater fruit.

I’m very sentimental… nostalgic… I appreciate every step of my past and truly look at it fondly. I’ve you’ve been part of it at any time… thank you.

Some things I have planned for my 29th year…

• With my WorldAura site on hold, I should be launching Enwrap - a place to cover your MySpace page with beauty.
• One of the most exciting business discoveries I’ve had to date, I’ll be partnering with a company that allows businesses and individuals to automatically send physical greeting cards from an online interface. All with your personal handwriting, signature, ability to send automatic follow up cards to customers, and more.
• Meditation. I’ve recently purchased, and am waiting for, a meditaion program that will hopefully allow me to become more centered, have less anxiety, feel more rested, etc. The program I purchased after hearing a recommendation from a business associate is HERE.
• A Wisconsin run to the Final Four?

That’s about it. Thanks for all your birthday wishes thus far… it means a lot to hear from all the people I have lately.
