I’m getting older. Time flies. We get busy. And birthdays? They can get swept under the rug.
“Happy Birthday!”
Done. Move on.
And sometimes we even say — “don’t celebrate me, I don’t like getting older.”
Bullshit.
We aren’t celebrating getting older. We’re celebrating LIFE. That person. Their radiance. Their presence with us.
So when Jennie’s birthday rolled around this year, I made a point to slow down and make it matter.
Thursday: dinner at home and a shoulder rub. Simple. Real.
Friday: a drink and late-night Modern Day Warrior talk. Jennie’s not just my Queen, she’s also my fiercest counsel — never afraid to tell me when an idea doesn’t fly.
Saturday: the surprise party. We moved it from the Grand America to stay home with the cats. And it was perfect. I asked everyone to bring gifts — because who gets gifts anymore? At first Jennie blushed, but soon she was glowing, showered in love and laughter.
A house full of friends. Connection. Magic.
And the next day? Board games. Brass Birmingham. Terraforming Mars. Bombusters. A four-day celebration of life, love, tribe, and play.
I love this woman with all my heart.
And here’s the lesson, brothers: this is Modern Day Warrior. This is Shades of Intimacy. Creating the container. Feeling past the surface wants into the deep heart of your woman. Orchestrating the moment. And then stepping aside so she can fill it with her radiance.
If you do it right? She will. (Wink).
Jason
P.S. - If you want to learn how to create this kind of container, join me at Modern Day Warrior, Sept 19–21 in Heber City.
