On this day 37 years ago, I was born. Yes today is my 37th birthday! I have to work, but, I’m going to take in the day the best way I can. Thanks for loving me even if I wasn’t very loving to you at first. God bliss you all! ---

Cade this is wild. So I was asking God what he wanted to share about my birthday as I was scrolling the internet. And there was a Spiritual teacher I’ve followed who has a lot of wisdom to give. And guess what video I saw first on her channel? It was a video about BIRTHDAYS! So, I listened to it. What a profound message. Here’s the video: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/catholic365/original/2X/c/c2630a3947023f2d20f3190f2f018ab152238370.jpeg "The Secret Meaning and Power of Birthdays") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9nN8U3RTX4) ---
