Last year on this day, I thought about turning 45 and how my year was going to look. It was going to be the year that I received my black belt. Today, I reflect on my 45th year and how much I have learned about becoming a black belt. It is way bigger than I imagined it to be, it encompassed mind, body and spirit and no stone can be left unturned. I have grown more this year than I thought was possible. I have examined myself, figured out what to change and what to modify and what to improve upon. I don't know what this new year is going to bring but I am ready for all the challenges that come my way. Tomorrow I begin my 46th year and I am ready.
I am also thinking about our world today and what it takes to have a peaceful one. I know what it takes to keep peace in my family, in my work world and with my friends, can we take those concepts that we use to create a peaceful existence out into the world? I think we can. It starts with acts of kindness, being kind to our community and encouraging our community to go to other communities and spread the kindness. Imagine the impact if we can convince everyone that we come in contact with to spread peace and kindness!
Until next week, work hard and have fun.

Happy Birthday!!! This year is going to be fantastic. Love and happiness always.
46 is an awesome age to be, just ask this kung fu loving guy. You have shown me so much this year in your approach to becoming a black belt. I'm so glad I volunteered to help shovel snow and got to know you so well from our great conversations. Keep being the amazing person you are. You inspire me in so many ways.
