Happy Birthday Rad!

Well, Happy Birthday to me. It’s a rare thing that blog day falls on my birthday, so I guess I should make a big whoop-dee-do over it.

The problem is, I’m not particularly a big birthday person. With Lee’s job, it makes it very difficult to celebrate. He hasn’t been off on my birthday in probably seven or eight years. And because it’s high season, he’s not allowed to ask for it off. Especially now that we live so far away from my closest family and friends, I really don’t have anyone to celebrate it with. Curiously, that doesn’t seem to bother me. Probably because I’m so busy having a gay holiday, that it’s easy to just look over it. Typing that last sentence makes me wonder if I should revisit that omission.

Over the years, one tradition that has developed is that I buy myself a birthday cake. But not just any cake, I always buy a Christmas cake and have “Happy Birthday Rad” written on it. This has gotten me more than a few weird looks from bakers. But it’s born out of growing up. We were pretty poor. And my mom could snag a Christmas cake at a grocery cheaper than having a unique birthday cake made. It didn’t bother me. I became accustomed to my birthday cakes being covered in poinsettias rather than roses. Here are my cakes from the last couple of birthdays:

But rather than focus on getting another year older, this year I found a better way to celebrate my birthday. I created a brand-new video series called “The 12 Days of Oracle Cards!” You may remember that I did the “12 Days of Tarot” a couple of years back. This is my new version based upon The Archangel Michael Sword of Light Oracle cards. And just like the tarot series, the oracle card series is jammed with costume changes which created utter havoc in my house!

If you want to get in on the fun (and it was a hoot to shoot) just make sure you go to my facebook page! By the way, I share some of my personal traditions in this series as well as showing you childhood heirlooms. I also provide tips for surviving and thriving during the holidays. I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Ho, ho, ho!

Angels of Perception

Many of you know that I go on regular, early morning strolls. I call them “angel walks” and it’s how I try to start off my day on the right foot (no pun intended.) It’s also meant to be a way for me to count my blessings while also staying grounded. You see, I have a...

Yesterday Once More

I was a pretty lonely kid. With the exception of one other kid or two who would drift in and out of my sphere (when it was convenient for them) I had no friends. I was the gay kid and I was “weird” and everyone knew that so no one spoke to me except to bully me. That...

The Great Lime Catastrophe

The only fruit tree I recall having had (that actually produced fruit) was an apple tree on the property where I grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee. I hated that tree. It dropped crates of apples onto the ground where they would start to rot in the summer sun. Guess...
