Jinxi Birthday Video: Sharing My Goals as I Get Older

Today is my big 3-9.

Oh yes, it is cupcake and candle day. Hooray!

Year #38 was so much fun and I am quite excited to get started on a new one at a new age.

I thought I would do something a little different today and made a video to share some of my goals for the upcoming year.

Yes, I am a talker... so if you want to skip ahead, here are some of the topics I hit along the way:

  • .50 seconds - Shout-outs to very important people (that includes YOU!)
  • 2:05 - Goals related to my writing
  • 3:11 - Family Love/My Amazing Kiddos
  • 4:00 - Mr. Steve
  • 4:50 - Veganism
  • 5:33 - Hiking
  • 6:27 - Minimalism
  • 7:46 - The Big Goal. The Doozie. The one I have been waiting to share
  • 9:55 - My feelings about getting older

Thanks for watching. Thanks for reading. Thanks for your support!

Over & Out, 39 year-old Jinxi

Hey Jinxi - I loved watching your bithday blog video! I'm a babbler, digresser, long and winding story teler too....Have you explored Cleavland national Forrest off Ortega Hwy ( Hwy 74)? There is a old Indian hot sprin out there... you can google search Ortega hot spring to learn more....it is on State Land now, and it is tresspassing, but I've been going there for 12 years and have never had a problem... I truley believe that it's protected by the Ancestral Indian Spirits, as well as the Nature and Animal spirits.... there's never any trash, or hippies out there, like you'd expect a hot spring to attract. I'd be happy to show you and Steve sometime, if you'd like an guide....

I hope you have a great experience with your triathalon goal! Good luck! Happy 39th- Lots of love to you and your fam!

Jinxi, dear,

You have got to be one of the most precious and inspirational people I know. You even have the amazing power to give others those GOOD endorphins just by the site of you, and the sound of your voice. You may not have known this, but it's true.

I hope you have a great birthday. We are the same age now!

All my love, Damon

You really are an inspiration, Jinxi, and I love reading and listening to what you have to say!
Vegan pride!

Happy Birthday Jinxi :)
I was so excited to watch this video you made to see what your new goals are.

I've told you before on myspace how big of an inspiration you are to me and I continue to stick that now, more than ever. You're such a fantastic person with so many things to offer and I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to read what you have to say, to learn, and continue to grow as the days go by..

You're truly something special.

Hey! Sounds like some great goals!
I've recently set some myself due to some negative stuff that's happened in my life, lost some loved ones and I had to go to the hospital for a few days due to my sezuires. All of it has been a reminder to me that time is so precious; you only ever get one shot at life (as far as we know), so better spend that time wisely. It's more valuable than gold or diamonds, because this is all we will ever have.
