Wow pulsers and dear sisters in particular,



It ain't over yet as long as we breathe. That 11 years after my rock bottom and suicide attempt, I should be so full of life, celebrate myself this much and see so many celebrate my modest person so, is nothing but a miracle to and for me.



I will just please share the link to my blog post for those who can get there o

I started the celebration on Thursday the 16th, planning to do a tridum to celebrate. So, I went out Thursday night (by myself to be precise - up to midnight), then Friday again first with a friend for some roasted fish, and then by myself for an all night (crossover but not at a church o lol) I went to a music club and danced some. Saturday was a celebration proper with a cake and a big bottle of champagne with my sisterhood in a chic spot (where I was on friday lol), and although I had thought to go out again Saturday night, I was so tired I crashed at 7 pm hahahaha.



This afternoon the kids and I go our for ice-ream and burgers or whatever they want, we all saved up for this outing like we do for anybody's birthday.



My World Pulse sisters on Facebook joined the chorus to wish me a happy birthday, some writing to me on messenger and whatsapp and wishing me so much more.



I AM SIMPLY SO SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL
