I heart Seth Rudetsky! Above is a clip from his Broadway 101 show demonstrating the purpose of a Swing in a Broadway production set to one of my favorite songs, Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love!, from what might be my favorite show, A Chorus Line!

As of 10:07AM on this day, August 11th, 2009, I will be 22 years old and beginning my 23rd year of life on this planet. Looking back on the last year of my life, it certainly has been an interesting ride. If you were too look at any of my writing since my last birthday, you'll witness the number of changes I've been through to arrive where I am now. Through it all, I can see how God has kept me safe and used it all to bring me to a place of balance.

Although I've been unemployed most of this year and struggling day by day, the last year has been the most fulfilling and wonderful I could've asked for. So many extraorinary people have been brought into my life that I have the privelege to call my friends, my family even! I know that the next year in my life is going to be even better and that it will prepare me for my purpose and destiny. Full of challenges? Yes! But it's going to be amazing!

I want to extend a HUGE thanks to Mr. Dave Charest (@DaveCharest), one of my favorite people on Twitter for the best birthday present ever! One of my tweets inspired him to write a new song! Take a listen, it's amazing! I hope it inspires you to never let anyone or anything else tell you what you can and cannot do!

Down by Dave Charest.

I love you all!

Here's to another year ahead!

Stay wonderful!
