if we have the courage to pursue them.

I LOVE all things Birthday! I love cake and ice cream. I love Birthday cake milkshakes. I love balloons. I love presents. I love feeling like a princess. I love being serenaded by wait staff (and grocery cashiers – yes it has happened!). I LOVE LOVE LOVE Birthdays.
When I was in elementary school, our class would always have an end of the year party. The last week of school usually coincided with my Birthday, so I usually (honestly) thought that the party was just for me. In high school, we often had final exams on my Birthday; not quite as much fun as my early years. In college, classes were out and I was usually off campus by the time my Summer Birthday rolled around. Of course, as adults, we usually have to work on our Birthday – which is only fun if you are blessed enough to be in a workplace that will actually celebrate.
Why all this talk about Birthdays? Because this is June – my Birthday month!!!!! And since I love all things Birthday, I thought I would share a little gift with you; a Summertime treat, if you will. If you are in the Jacksonville/St. Johns area and would like your home better organized, and would like the assistance of a professional organizer, e-mail juliebavi@gmail.com For June only – ONE FREE HOUR, with the purchase of a four hour session. Make sure to include “Birthday” in your email. That’s a savings of 25% on one session - up to $50. Multiple purchases allowed per customer. Applies to gift certificate purchases. Void where prohibited.
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile
the moment a single man contemplates it,
bearing with him the image of a cathedral.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What’s your rock pile today?

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
~Irish Blessing
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
