I wish you a path forward that includes a peaceful mind and heart that stops tearing you up from the inside. I hope you have a good birthday that kickstarts a new chapter for you. Take care of yourself first and know your readers will still be here when you are ready to release some words out into the universe again. 💚

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.

May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world. May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.

Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.

Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.

May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.

May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgements of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

Happy Birthday Macon. I look forward to hearing from you again one day.

Macon, you are a remarkable and wise person. I have valued your deep passion for and insights into sapphic romance. You have made an impression on my life.

I hope you find what you are looking for, whether it be the old you or the new you. You do not owe us anything at all (e.g. news of your future whereabouts or state of health), but I would like to wish you the best.
