Celebration: A Poem
Posted: August 16, 2012 Filed under: Celebration, Jordana, Personal | Tags: birthday, celebration, friends, poem Leave a commentIf you’ve been following regularly then you know that I love singing the praises of my extra talented group of friends. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by generous, honest, intelligent and kind-hearted people. Yes, indeed! Last month for my birthday my friend Suparna wrote me a sweet little poem. I asked her permission to share it here.
Through meadows green, on stones so clean
Skips the birthday girl
A calm day down Forest Way
She pauses at the door with a curl.
Why so quiet? One cannot deny it
The elf that lives within
Generally sings with tones that ring
Clattering pots and cups of tin.
She says, “Hello?” and feels she must go
But stops when she senses the smell
Of freshly baked cake and all that would make
A girl enter without ringing the bell.
It was dark inside, enough to hide
A GREAT BIG elvin party
Who flipped on the lights and screamed with DELIGHT,
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDANA GARBATI!”
While my birthday has passed, I just love re-reading this made-for-me poem. Thanks Suparna!
p.s. Not only can Suparna write and rhyme, but she also coaches a Quidditch team for her students in Singapore. She has yet to tell me exactly how she goes about this!

54 Is Just a Number
Posted: July 17, 2012 Filed under: Celebration, Mackenzie, Personal | Tags: birthday, celebration, cigars, family, Ferrari, Mackenzie, Music, personal, Rolex 3 CommentsMy father turns 54 today and, like many people his age, he is constantly complaining about how “he’s getting so old”. Well, I believe that if you live your life to the fullest, acquire many interests, and just enjoy life there is no reason to complain about how old you are.
After all – your age is just a number!
To celebrate my dad’s birthday I’m sharing five things that my dad enjoys.
Happy birthday Dad!

Celebration: Happy Birthday Reef!
Posted: June 12, 2012 Filed under: Celebration, Jordana, Music, Personal | Tags: birthday, celebration, Music, Reef, singing, songs 2 CommentsHappy birthday to my nephew Reef who turns two today! He currently loves singing along to the chorus of Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks but he/his mom has changed the words just slightly…you better run, better run, faster than the ducky. I wish I had a recording to share on the blog. It’s pretty adorable!
