How well do we really know each other? Well it’s my birthday and I’m turning 36. I thought that I would give a glimpse into my life that some may not be too familiar with. I actually wrote the list while I was out in Portland, OR last week. It’s presented in no particular order.

Thats it for now. Stay tuned for the extended remix revision that gives those who are interested a deep look into the 36 things I listed above. Anything surprise you? Anything you want to know more about? Just ask a brother.
THIS IS WHERE I SHAMELESSLY ASK FOR A GIFT
One of the things that is not directly captured above is my love for giving. I do it in all kinds of different ways but for this birthday I’m giving by donating my birthday to Charity Water. That means I’ve made a donation and I’m asking all my friends (yep, all of you who will wish me a happy birthday on Facebook) to consider donating my age ($36) or anything else you can. It’s the gesture that counts more than the amount. It goes to a great cause, it will be a great gift to me and others. She more on my giving page here: http://bit.ly/brunybdaygiving
Just in case I didn’t say it before; I appreciate you!
As always my goal is to help you Run the Point (Take Action) from where you are, with what you have.
Your Ambassador,
Bruny
