It’s our beloved Pop’s first birthday not physically here and his presence, laughter, charm, wit, and wisdom are missed tremendously. I’m sure he’d love if you include him (and his loved ones) in a prayer and honor him with a toast/sip today.

Last year, when Pop turned 91 his message was “Let them Be.” I’m so grateful I captured this video (click link here https://youtu.be/uT07rfCW-3o) at that time as it’s filled with the essence of Pop to include his loving doses of joy, laughter, charm, wit, and wisdom. This video will never get old. Because of Pop’s unconditional love, it allowed me and the lives of those he touched to “BE!” It’s a message to us all regarding the importance of allowing others to “BE” who they are meant and called to be and not who you think they should be. And, remembering we all have our own unique personalities and purposes, that should be nurtured to flourish, bloom, and BE!

Pop, Happy Heavenly Birthday! I’m filled with gratitude today remembering the gift you were to us all and continue to be as you work your magic now as our ancestor and angel. You are #BeDoLove. You are the man, the myth, the legend. We love and miss YOU and your sweet giggles! 😍 Cheers to YOU Pop! 🥃

In the words of Pop “Have a good day. Be safe. Don’t work too hard. Love!” #MorningPopTalk #BeDoLove #FindYourZen #LivingOutLoud #BirthAndLiveYourSoulFullPurpose
