Birthday Pressie
i am having a birthday soon,
and i think that my birthday pressie from RB is this…..
i just reached this wonderful milestone of
30,000 art views
10,000 tee views
in my first 3 months on the bubble!!! and that’s saying
to me that this is the most supportive and loving community
that I’ve ever had the joy to be a part of
Background Story
my parents lived in a place called Tottenham western NSW
when i was little, and that was the most supportive community
of people they have ever known
the friends they made in that town so long ago have stuck by
them even tho they moved from there some 39 years ago when
i was 4 years old. The affection and love they knew is as strong
now as it was then…and that mateship never ever died.
to me, that is what these statistics say, that rb is a dedicated
community, like the one in outback Tottenham,
that genuinely has and expresses a caring and supportive attitude
to one another. We understand the heights and the lows of
the artistic lifestyle and nature.. and many of you have ministered
your love and care for me….i am forever grateful to you
i have found this a place of encouragement, a well at which i have
been watered, and drunk deeply from, a place that has nourished me
and nurtured my soul, grown me in spirit in courage and in strength.
i walk with my head held high and my spirit soaring, because I am buoyed by
this community of people.
yay thank you everyone :)
happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Karin, happy birthday to me….........nah, not shy about telling everyone my birthday…..i love getting happy birthday wishes!!!!

oh, and big happy birthday wishes to you TOO!!!!
sounds like you’ve been having a blast…i like to make the most of the birthday fun, and then back to my cave again like you :) to paint…..i understand totally. We need that time on our own don’t we, just so our mind is able to relax, rest and respond to the inspiration that’s all around us, when busy, it’s hard to relax and see the world in an artful and inspirational manner i think…..yeah, so totally get where you’re coming from :)
thanx for your lovely birthday wishes, i feel a big smile spreading right across my face!!! ....can’t wait for tomorrow, there are secrets and whispers, and late night shopping going on behind my back….and i think i’m getting spoilt this year!!! ...lol
