Such a Great Birthday Present

Blog-Buddies, you know that special feeling on a birthday, right? Today’s mine. I proudly and gratefully turn 61. (Yes, March 20 is the last day of the zodiac, as well as the last day of Pisces.) And, yes, this morning the Washington Post gave me such a fine gift.

Although the story won’t appear in print until tomorrow, online there’s an article “Science Fair Honors Student Accomplishments.” And with it, a not-bad photo of my son, Matt.

Reporting on a county-wide science fair, the Post reporter wrote:

“Academy of Science student Matthew Weber explained his model for predicting the impact of socioeconomic factors on the spread of influenza in the United States.

“Following his manipulation of data on the virus, Weber said he believes it is possible to predict future influenza breakouts based on a model incorporating socioeconomic variables. His research earned him first place in the competition’s mathematical sciences category [one of many categories for which prizes were awarded].”

Note: Like me, my son is NOT a psychic. And like both me and his Dad, Mitch, Matt IS an empath.

All along, I’ve been coaching him in how to become a Skilled Empath, not merely talented. (When I wrote the chapter in “Empowered by Empathy” on “How to Parent an Empath” he was my inspiration.)

Matt has also had a little instruction in Aura Reading. About 10 years ago, he posed for a photo that was used on the back cover of “Aura Reading Through All Your Senses.”

In less than two months, he’ll have a birthday, too. Turning 18, he’ll finally be eligible for a birthday gift where I give him a Face Reading. Before then, and not only when he’s competing as a Young Epidemiologist, Matt is a gift to me.

Mitch and Matt, my cosmic M&M treat! I’m grateful to have them in my life, and also grateful to you, my Blog-Buddies. Sending you all a fine chunk of Birthday Darshan!
