Hi friends! Today is my 46th Birthday! For any of you who think it’s unladylike like to reveal your age , I had the same attitude for years. But for whatever reason, the older {and hopefully slightly wiser} I get, I’ve come to realize every birthday is a blessing and should be celebrated with gusto!
Heck, I even woke up to Google sending me Birthday wishes this morning… that MUST mean my day is special right? {winky}
Every year I turn older, I like to look back and applaud myself for things gone well – and take inventory on things I’d like to improve. This year, in regards to my business, I’m asking myself if I want to be a Little Fish in A Big Pond or a Big Fish In A Little Pond? More to come on some changes coming to Salvaged Inspirations in the near future!
For now, just know I’m not sharing my birthday so you can send me prezzies, but rather to take this opportunity to say thank you.
Thank you for being here and sharing the SI Blog with me this last year. I’m having a blast. And believe me, without all you guys, it wouldn’t be any fun.
So peace out for another great year! I’m off to celebrate now. {BIG SMILE}
Have yourself an amazing day too!

Hi Denise
I know this is really late and I just came across this post. I was thinking about you this morning B4 seeing this and said to myself.”I think Denise’s birthday was in November and we would both be turning 46, I wonder how she feels about it?” Only to come across this and have a little chuckle! I love this pic of you! Good for you for embracing life and aging with grace and creativity. Im with you on this! 🙂
Denise says
Thanks Teresa! Yours was in December right?… hope I that’s right…lol? Happy belated birthday to you my friend! x
Mary Vitullo says

Nancy Carr says
Happy Birthday! I am a lot older than you and am amazed I have made it this far. Life seems to go by so fast. Enjoy every day and everything you can. Blessings!
Denise says
Life does go by super fast! Funny though, as the years add up, for the most part I still feel 30 something. (Can’t say 20’s because I could never muster up the energy to party like I did in my 20’s…lol.) I visited you webpage Nancy. Fascinating work you do! With all the wonderful spiritual motivating and ceremonies you perform, you must touch and influence lot of people! x
Monique Buchanan says
Happy birthday, you are so young go crazy try what please you. you are already reinventing furniture, take the next step. I did after breast cancer some 35 years ago, and never turned back. In my senior years I am still ready to try new crazy things……Go figure
Denise says
Isn’t it funny how sometimes it’s a life changing event that inspires us to make big changes. Maybe because when we’re faced with life altering situations, it makes us see that everything else just isn’t quite as important as we make it out to be??? Anyway, never stop trying those new crazy things! And I love this Monique… thank you!
Josi says

Happy Birthday! You share a birthday with my youngest child. She turned 22. Makes me feel old!

Have a great birthday Tracy and a wonderful year to follow! I’m 73, grabbed a hand sander and a paintbrush ten years ago and haven’t stooped since. Love all your great inspiration.
