Last year, I began this day by riding an indian pony bareback in a long red dress through the low desert of Arizona. This year, I began the day by hiking up the mountain in the dark with a thermos of coffee, two dogs and the most beautiful Pendleton blanket in the world strapped to my pack (my gift from Robert). Once I walked high enough, I sat down, made a little nest, and waited for the sun to rise. When it popped up over the mountains, and all the gold poured over me, it was like God pressed a palm to my forehead and said, “Blessings for this new year, daughter.”
Today, I am thirty three.
Happiest days to you my friend xo

Don’t you feel so blessed each year with the wisdom you’ve gained? It’s like looking at tree rings and feeling that type of gain. I would never want to go back to my 20s.
Those colors are beautiful against the brown winter world (I love winter plant textures…)

Thank you all so much for these wonderful birthday notes.
This year, the 13th of February could have been a very lonesome day. I am so happy I was able to share a tiny bit of it with you, and so grateful so many of my far away friends thought of me, remembered me and spoiled me (rotten).
All my love and appreciation,
Jillian
Happy belated Birthday Blessing and thank you for sharing a little bit of your soul with so many of us strangers. (Or friends that have not yet met!)Wishing you a mountain of wonderful-ness for this new year!
happy belated birthday as well 🙂 what a cleansing and beautiful way to start a new year. funny enough I have been searching the last month for a pendleton for my birthday in a few weeks and saw this one and wow what a present, I have never seen this pattern before!
Happy early birthday! This is truly, to my eyes, the most beautiful Pendleton pattern I have ever seen. The colors are PERFECTION and the pattern is delicate but bold. It’s completely wonderful.
I know I’ve already said it, but Happy Birthday again, dear one. You are a beautiful, amazing being, and I am so grateful for your presence in the world.
Happy belated birthday. I am thankful for the way you have influenced me to remember where my heart is. My birthday was the 16th. For years I’ve treated my birthday like any other day, Ignoring it… but this year I allowed it a little bit of significance. Maybe I’m learning.
i missed this, but i love you. happy birthday. You radiate in these photos. miss you!
A very Happy but Belated Birthday, Ms. Aquarius. Have been so immersed at work can’t even get away for a moment to my favorite place on the web. Many blessings for a beautiful year.
