Happy Birthday, Meredith. Thank you for sharing this wisdom and it is wonderful to come from someone who has lived it. Resonated with most, 31 and 44 stood out for me. Wishing you lots of love, light and good health ✨✨💜
Love your nuggets, I have said I stopped ageing, but for some reason the number that rolls of the tongue when people ask how old I am is always 44. - You can rely on change, good or bad everything is temporary.👌🫶
I don't know how you managed to come up with all 62, but they are a perfect resource for us all
Beautiful.. many stood out to be honest.. needed to read to awaken my wit too.. happy birthday sorry l am little late to wish you.. 💖💖.. l need to read all the points once again 💖
Hi Meredith…thank you for these lovely nuggets. Have a most wonderful day. I felt a little bit of each one in my soul. I’m over here still feeling very gifted by your metaphor relative to mind and intellect…/river/bank. It absolutely settled inside of me and lives there. 🩵
wow your 62 Nuggets are a Wonderful Gift to us all - how amazing to come up with so many in one sitting! and all with a profound insight of their own! just Love It - personally and with all due respect to others - i would leave 27 as it is, as one of your Original Nuggets - we only carry hurt because we have been hurt by another - if this hurt then remains unresolved - then another may trigger it, the opportunity to then work on it or not ready too. May you have had a truly Wonderful 62nd Birthday Meredith!:_)xx
Happy birthday Meredith! 62 is a great age to be, I am loving it. Number 54 resonated with me, because I am always future focused. The future is created in the present moment, I have to keep reminding myself.
“Be available for others. Don’t be so caught up in your own thoughts that you don’t have time for others.” - thanks for sharing your wisdom - happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for this enormous gift of wisdom! Although I followed you very recently, but I felt your pure soul very familiar. Stay blessed! Hari Om! 🙏🏼😊
this is for you and everyone celebrating birthday.
Janma Dinam Idam (also rendered Janmadinamidam) is a short, graceful Sanskrit birthday song composed by Pujya Swami Tejomayananda (Guruji) of Chinmaya Mission.
Lyrics (Devanagari)
जन्मदिनमिदं अयि प्रिय सखे । शं तनोतु ते सर्वदा मुदम् ॥ १ ॥
प्रार्थयामहे भव शतायुषी । ईश्वरस्सदा त्वां च रक्षतु ॥ २ ॥
O dear friend! May this birthday bring auspiciousness and joy to you forever.
Indeed, we all pray for your long life (a hundred years). May the Lord always protect you.
By noble/virtuous deeds, may you attain fame, and may your life be fulfilled (meaningful and purposeful).
This composition offers a deeper, more holistic blessing rooted in the Indian spiritual and cultural vision of life.
It begins with warm personal address (“ayi priya sakhe” — O dear friend) and invokes lasting auspiciousness (śam) and joy (mudam). The second verse turns into collective prayer for longevity (śatāyuṣi) and divine protection. The third verse shifts the focus from receiving blessings to living worthily: fame that arises from puṇya-karma (virtuous action) and a life that is sārthaka — meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilled.
Swami Tejomayananda originally wrote it with younger people in mind; later adjustments made it suitable for people of all ages, including those beyond a hundred years. The song gently reminds the celebrant (and the singers) that a birthday is not merely a marker of time passed, but an invitation to live with purpose, virtue, and the Lord’s grace.
Happy Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed this I was offline for the last two weeks. I would have to say number 60 is the one that stands out to me and what I need to remember today.
Hi Miriam, so glad you found something here. Believe it or not, so few people i know or have personally met respond let alone read this. So thank you 🤍
Belated happy birthday, Meredith. And thank you for another meaningful and substantial post.
I would love to invite you to share some more of your wisdom and non-dual understanding in my Art of Transition interview series but I am unable to send you a message about it because I am not a paid subscriber.
If that is something you would be open to discussing further, please drop me a message here or email jenny@jennygrainger.net.

What helps is having a higher goal (not a self-centred one), but something that benefits all. Strive in the present. Self-crntredness creates anxiety.

Happy Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed this I was offline for the last two weeks. I would have to say number 60 is the one that stands out to me and what I need to remember today.
That’s a good one to remember.
I love every reminder - keeps making me think about some of those sayings that we need to consider more. Miriam

Thank you, Jenny. Well, that sounds fabulous. But I’ll pass for the moment. All the best with it 🙏
No. There was not one nugget that stood out to me. There were many! 7,8,20,52 to name a few. Happy Belated Birthday Meredith! 62 years wise 💚
