It's My 47th Birthday

Hi everyone,

Well it's that time of year again and I'm turning 47 on January 5th, just a couple of days from now. I'm having a contest to celebrate my birthday. Every year it's such a bummer because everyone is partied out, tired and broke and done with celebrating and holidays. So I decided to throw myself a contest to celebrate my birthday on a positive note with all you wonderful friends, family and poets I don't even know here on AP.

1. Write with integrity and fun just wishing me a Happy 47th Birthday.
2. Please be nice to other poets and poetesses in my contest.

A little about me.

1. I'm a mother of 3 children in which only 2 are still living.
2. I've been married to the same man for 28 years...LOL
3. I suffer from depression a lot since the loss of my son.
4. I'm looking forward to this New Year with my word being Successful.
5. I'm pretty vain and having a hard time with physically aging...LOL... HONESTY
6. I am spiritual and call myself a Christian or should say a follower of Christ.
7. I love to write poetry and spend time on AP with all of you.
8. I love the beach and live at the beach.
9. I make jewelry and like to make crafts.
10. I home-school my 15 year old daughter and my son is 20 a pro motocross racer.
11. I love Kauai and love snorkeling with the Sea Turtles.
12. I'm a Vemma/Verve Distributor for work.
13. I've been a member since August 22, 2007.
14. I've just won 202 trophies and written almost 300 poems.
15. I love people and have a ministry called Beyond the Grave to help others whom suffer from the loss of their children to drugs and to also help families who are in a crises with addiction in their families. This is a family ministry since the loss of my son. We have helped many and by the Grace Of God we shall continue through his strength and wisdom.

Hey thank you all whom enter in wishing me a Happy Birthday and Fabulous New Year!!!!

Wishing All A Very Blessed New Year In 2009
Much Love To All,
Kelle Marie

    Happy Birthday!

    I'll write you a poem too, of course, but I just wanted to wish you a wonderful birthday. I really understand about the date making things hard, being so close to new years and all. My aunts' birthday was December 24th, and she had the same problem, almost. with her, she would get Christmas gifts, and a 'happy birthday' stuck on the end, like a post note or something. She's been gone for a while, but it still makes me think of her.
    Happy birthday, happy new years, and God Bless!
    -Larkbird
    So I hope

No wonder all your poems are so perfect for you meditate like you are in a place of zen..LOL...I'm still laughing so hard that you wrote that. You are so funny sometimes my sweet girlfriend. You make me smile.
