I’m in the midst of pre-birthday and pre-book launch tasks, and as joyous as both these events are, they have taken up my time, so this post is from 2020. Remember that cra-cra-crazy year? Well, thankfully, in this post, I only wrote of the joy and lifelong love of my many aquatic adventures. Birthdays are reminders to feel my great fortune for all the love from those who raised me, for those who have surrounded me for decades and been part of my escapades, and for the friendships and living still ahead. I am grateful for you readers too. Indeed, as Rumi assures us, When you do things, from your soul, you feel a river, moving in you, a joy.

Read on my dear one. “Water baby” is pure delight, xxoo
