Today I'm 43. 
I've learned some things in my life so far. This is my philosophy:

Say I love you when you feel it. Don't think first. Don't hesitate. 
When it comes to cake, go dark chocolate and full fat.
Talk long walks at night in the rain. Let the stars be your map. 
Sing to yourself. Everyday.
Expect miracles.
Savor every bite of food you put in your mouth. Use all of your taste buds.
Drink more water.
When in doubt, choose love.
Burn your candles. Use fancy soap. Make toasts. Say blessings.
Wear wigs of different colors. 
If you think you look fat in the pants, get rid of them. 
Believe in fairies. 
Write.
Don't hang around people who make you feel small. 
Trust your instincts.
Don't spend time in places that drain you.
Find the shiny people. Say hello.
Dance.
Clear out your drawers. Don't get caught up in the past. Make room for the future.
Breathe into your heart.
Respect all living creatures.
Respect yourself most of all.
Kiss with your mouth open.
If you can't find the words, use your hands.
When tears rise in your throat, let them out.
Assume the best in everyone.
Don't try to explain yourself, defend yourself, or get other people to see your way.
Just live your way. In every moment.
Eliminate should from your vocabulary.
Dream.
Let no one else design your life.
Listen for the truth that flows through your veins. Believe it.
Root for the underdog.
When someone asks you for help, give it.
Create your own religion.
Build altars to the impossible.
Love the Earth Mama.
Rest.
Take care of your body.
Talk to angels. About everything.
Turn up your radio. Open your sunroof.
Go barefoot.
Paint a mural on your kitchen wall.
Decorate with tiny lights and beaded curtains.
Let go, let go, let go.
Gaze with your eyes closed.
Laugh from your belly.
When adventure calls, say yes.
Know that you are the physical extension of God on this earth.
Know that God is Love.
Know that Love is all there is.
