" I am having this baby!" "No you just need to use the washroom" ... and so Heather Patricia O'Brien came into this beautiful world headed for the ol'porclin throne ... well there you go Queenlatreesa, I was destined to be the Butterflyqueen from day uno. And so baby Heather had a little piece of white tape accross her nose in all her baby pictures ... (Hha ha ... and then I went on to break it trying to show a guy that I could ride a jet-ski harder than he could and broke my nose and it is a little off-tilter to this day!) ... a true ragamuffin.
On my 28th birthday my life could not be more beautiful ... and let me tell you I am living fully in each moment ... knowing that hard times will come again, that they have to for me to be able to know the joy I am feeling now ... closing my eyes and feeling, and hearing, and tasting, and smelling, listening ... really feeling all the wonder and beauty and love that is being gushed over me. I have never felt more clear about what matters in life and how much God is in control. It makes me sad that I lost a good year of my life obsessing about everything and anything just to feel in control. The freedom that comes with letting go ... just thinking about the release crushes my heart. There is a song I used to listen to over and over ... and this line that says "I wish I could take your heart into my heart and show you how good it feels to let go" ... I wish that I could do that for people I see holding on so tight to matterless matter. We truly do live by learning how to die ... when we finally get that nothing matters other than the people in our lives ... nothing.
And as I celebrate my birth ... which I did quite well I must say ... I bought a FULLY LOADED CIVIC HYBRID!!!!!!!!!!!! ... beautiful dark silver ...freaking beautiful car !!!!!!!!!!! I celebrate it with the most beautiful pumpkin-patch (My angel Christine's brilliant description of all the truly fabulous and beautiful people that are in my life) of friends ... and that is where there are no words ... just a heart that is truly happy
I love you all ... close your eyes and feel the biggest, warmest hug from me!

- I am doing my best to find the good things in my life and cherish them. I love deeply. I laugh hard (so hard I sometimes snort). I still dream and believe that dreams are meant to be followed. I try to depend on God. I have so much to learn. I hope.
