Today is my birthday…my 59th, to be exact. How that happened and when… well, I’m not entirely sure. If my math is correct, I’m quickly sliding toward 60, although I’m pretty convinced I’m still 28.

I love birthdays, no matter the number. Yes, I’m one of those people, I can stretch a birthday into a month-long celebration. And why not? Any excuse to gather with people I love and celebrate life is good enough for me. It’s not just my birthday I love celebrating and genuinely enjoy celebrating everyone’s special day.

For the past thirteen years, my birthday has landed right in the middle of the busiest week of the year at work, so the celebrations have definitely shifted a bit. This year is no different. We’re hustling to distribute the last of our scholarship funds and getting all our future leaders registered for summer programs. It will be a busy birthday, perhaps not as festive as in years past, but one still full of purpose, which is a gift in itself.

This year, for my birthday, I’m asking for a gift from you. I’d love to know: what is your favorite cause and why? What organization or mission speaks to your heart?

I always love hearing from you, but your answers truly inspire me. They open my eyes to new causes and remind me of the incredible impact we can make when we care about something deeply. So please, take a moment and share what moves you.

To be honest, the greatest gift is simply knowing that we’re all here to serve one another. Thank you for being here, for caring, and for being part of this amazing community. You are the greatest gift of all.
