Recently, I wrote about how the universe is always giving us what we ask for. I’d like to add – it doesn’t always show up in the way we’ve imagined!
My 60th birthday is fast approaching and I had decided I would love to celebrate by going to dinner and a concert; something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time. When I heard that Yanni would soon be performing nearby, I excitedly went on-line for tickets. The best seats were already sold out and they were a bit too pricey for me anyways, so I decided to wait. The very next day I discovered that Triple AAA members can enter a drawing for four free tickets to see Yanni. There was my chance!
Then, last night, a friend called me with a last minute invitation to attend a concert with her. Because another friend had just treated me to dinner that afternoon to thank me for something, I was already dressed and ready to go so I said, “Yes, let’s do it!” After hanging up the phone, I began laughing when I realized what had just happened – a FREE dinner followed by a FREE concert at the Berklee Center for Performing Arts in Boston – a performance that was so fabulous, by the way, that at one point I thought, this might even be better than seeing Yanni!!!
I don’t know if I’ll win the tickets to see him or not. That would be awesome but there will be no disappointment if I don’t. After all . . .
I already got what I asked for.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Let your spirit soar!

Well Paula I thought the Happy Birthday message was for me! I turn 60 on April 2 and have been thinking about what I want to do. I loved reading about your experience. My best friends will be out of town so I may be solo. I wanted to do a meaningful ceremony for this passage which has expanded into a larger ceremony for all of us women who turned 60 this year. I was thinking of a “crone” type ceremony mixed in with native american medicine wheels. I’m imagining it at my friend’s house on Turtle Cove on Cape Cod. It will take some planning and perhaps certain “preliminaries” for us each to honor this important time in our lives. If you want I can put you in the loop of e-communications.
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful birthday!
Peace,
Maureen Chase
