Post-Birthday Party notes:

I’ve tried and tried to figure out how to put a description of our birthday party/celebration at Mixed Nuts ( a local hang-out which defies description itself) into words. In fact, several folks came over to me during the party and asked how it would read on the blog. How do you communicate a combination of old friends, success stories, music and beer, the pure generosity of so many, dancing on tables (yes, really) and general craziness? So suffice it to say (and I’m quoting this) “what happened at Mixed Nuts STAYS at Mixed Nuts.”

On a personal note, I learned…or at least, re-learned several lessons that night. How people from ALL walks of life can unite for something good. How simple acts of kindness have a ripple effect, and can inspire others. How the people you least expect to help are often the ones that help the most. And above all, how friends, both old AND new, can change a life.

Thank you for making my birthday party so special…..
