Magical Moment-A Star Is Born!

Don't-cha love magical moments in life; times when you can go back to the exact day, time, moment and recall an event that just plain makes ya happy...like...

A tiny, little baby-girl singing in the Christmas choir with all the boys and girls, and inspiring the whole congregation; A stage full of actresses singing It's A Hard Knock's Life - Oh My Goodness, but one little orphan sparkles brighter than the top of the Chrysler Building and all the stars in the galaxy; A school play where a gifted actress transforms into a boy and sings clear as a bell for all the moms, dads, grandparents, and aunties (me); A person who goes from obscurity and becomes an overnight, singular sensation in the traveling troupe, Miracle On 34th Street; A theatrical voice that serenades a full theatre with "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and clicks her Ruby heels with true grace; A state-fair winner poses as a newspaper boy and mesmerizes the judges, and all that jazz; An anointed soloist who bravely sings "Let There Be Peace On Earth" in church on a Sunday morning following the 911 attacks--WOW!

Of course, there are many more, but the grand beginning was on April 17th when a little red-halo-headed-baby blessed us with more talent, charm, and tenderness than you can imagine. I held her in my arms, kissed her forehead, and tickled the tips of her tiny, little, velvet-like fingers, as she responded  with the twinkle in her baby-blues--a magical moment!

I can't imagine my life without a precious and talented niece who impacts my life, makes me proud, and gives me joy! Oh, and loves NYC--just like me!!! Lil' Kiwi-Piwi is an inspiration, motivator, giver, and comedian. Yes, she is hilarious with her comedy routines and imitations. bwaahaahaaahaaa!

So, on this very special birthday,  I present to my favorite (and only) niece a special blessing of..."anointed inspiration to the people who come in contact with you, a contagious motivation that impacts the world, a humbled giver who makes life richer for those less fortunate, and joy unspeakable for those who are in despair and in need. 

May your sphere of influence extend to every part of this world. May your heart always be tender toward God. May your words be anointed and orchestrated to say just the right thing at just the right moment. May your songs heal the hurts of others, inspire ambition, tell a story, and enrich and feed your own soul during your deepest, and most sacred and personal moments that are between you and God. 

You are blessed, our lil' Kiwi-Piwi. You walk under the umbrella of incredible anointing and favor. Always look upward and allow Him to take your hand and lead you where He wants you to go! There is a path that is illuminated with success, anointing, and influence for you. Do not be blinded, rather, embrace the magnificent abundance of all that He has in store for you!" 

Shine on, our little star, shine on! 
Happy Birthday! You are LOVED!

BLESSINGS: "Kiwi waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto her and heard her cry. He brought her up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set her feet upon a rock, and established her goings. And He hath put a new song in her mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. I delight to do thy will , O my God, yea thy law is within my heart." Psalms 40: 1-3, 8
