24 years ago today!
A fat man reading Catcher in the Rye shot musician/activist Jon Lennon outside of his New York City residence. 12 hours later I was born in a Ohio hospital, I hate birthdays.

5. Happy Birthday
You're 24 which is a year of great expansiveness and opportunity. Trust me on this and pay attention.

I have a few experiences to share on observations of birthdays that align themselves with huge events or other birthdays.

I had a much older friend who was born on FDR's birthday. She had a husband who served and then died an early death. She benefited greatly initially from many of FDR's policies and then they dwindled away, leaving her quite desparate.

Her daughter, was born on Hitler's birthday. A more peaceful individual than her daughter, I have rarely encountered.

Another was a student of the mysteries, one of his mentors shared his birthday. When his mentor passed on, he inherited much greater gifts in his field of study. There are forms of inheritance that transcend by far, probate court.

My friend who was born on FDR's birthday experienced the depletion of positive energy perhaps by virtue or curse of her day of birth.

Her daughter benefitted from the purge of negativity from her day of birth by Hitler's heinous nature, and has had a happy and productive life.

My other friend became far wiser by the passing of his mentor who he never even met.

I've met several who were born on 9/11 and feel that they have no right to celebrate ever again. However, I assure them that perhaps all the negativity has been purged from that date and perhaps they can make a difference.

Maybe, just maybe Lennon will bequeath you some of his wisdom and creativity that you are not yet in touch with.

It was really tragic to endure, yet his gifts live on, perhaps through you.

Again, Happy Birthday dear. Now go have a fantastic evening and then consider going and making an impact of which Lennon would be proud. It might just be your true inheritance.
