If being foolish is what helps defy the gravity of aging, then I should be two feet from the ground. Perhaps they'll never get me in the grave. You are already set apart from the rest. Unique and fun. I hope that never changes! And I would wish you years of foolish behavior and the gravity defying act that goes with it! Happy Birthday Vickie!

I have certainly learned not to take life too seriously from you. Happy Birthday Vickie, belated though it may be. I have certainly learned not to take life too seriously from you.

I loved what you said about taking time to be foolish and not accepting the limits that others define for us. I will miss the <em>NACLNC</em><sup>®</sup> Conference this year (I will be participating in my first trial). This will be the first conference that I have missed and I am already bummed out about it. I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and tell you that every day, when I get up and look at my day's schedule (and no 2 days are the same) I always catch myself saying "I just LOVE what I do", and I, like thousands of others, have you to thank – so thanks again (and I hope you had a great day – belatedly!!)

Thank you for helping me with my "foolish" dream of being something more than just a staff nurse. As it turns out, this dream has not been as foolish as some people had thought. Happy Birthday!

I hope you defy gravity this evening as your celebration continues!!! LOL! Vickie, thanks so much for guiding us all to be individuals who defy gravity every day. I don't think you know how you have affected not only my life, but my family's life. We have inspirations of Vickie all over our home in the words you say, the books you wrote that are proudly displayed on our shelves in which we read together, to the awesome quotes you provide like the one from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. What a awesome message. Our daughters even say, "That must be a Vickie quote, Mom", to which I laugh and say "YES, isn't it great!" You have inspired many CLNC<sup>®</sup> consultants around the globe but am not sure you know how much you inspire our daughters in this home to "dare to be different" for all the right reasons. I have no doubt that they will be strong leaders in society for generations to come. They each have the 5 promises card to look at it everyday like I do. You make them smile as big as your smile on that card and they feel as if they know you (they are trying to sneak along to Texas). Many more birthday wishes for the woman known all over our home as "Amazing Vickie." See you in a few weeks my friend and tonight we toast to your name and your legacy. Vickie,

I am having a blast and can't wait until the day I can do this full time. I know that day is coming....Then I can be foolish more often... as I love being foolish as well. ;) Enjoy the rest of your evening and later when I sit down to relax a little, I will have glass of wine in honor of your birthday and everything you have done for me. Vickie,

I am with you all the way. I recently turned 50, and I spend no time "dreaming of retirement!" Not that I don't enjoy and need rest, but I am living with intentionality, and like you, am striving to continually grow and achieve bigger dreams. The people history remembers are not the ones who "play it safe" all of their lives, but were, indeed, willing to appear foolish to the masses. One of my favorite sayings is, "Birds fly in flocks, but eagles fly alone." Here's to stepping out of our comfort zones, and having the courage to risk appearing foolish. See you at the 2009 NACLNC<sup>®</sup> Conference in San Antonio! Dear Vickie,
