“Turning 65: A Bright Idea Worth Sharing” As my 65th birthday approaches this Monday, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone in advance for your well wishes (and the inevitable jokes about senior discounts and AARP memberships). 😉 Reaching this milestone feels like an upgrade to “Life 6.5”—complete with more wisdom, more gratitude, and maybe a few more naps. It’s a reminder that every year is a gift, and every wrinkle is just a well-earned laugh line. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to turn bright ideas into reality (hello, BulbHead!) and to share this incredible journey with amazing people like you. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that success isn’t just about what you accomplish but also about the relationships you build and the memories you create along the way. Here’s to dreaming big, living boldly, and finding joy in every moment—whether you’re 6 or 65. Thanks for being part of my story, and feel free to light up my inbox Monday (bonus points for jokes about being “vintage” rather than “old”)! With gratitude and a big smile, A.J.
Happy 65th Birthday AJ! Wishing you all the best!!!

1dAge is just a number, At 65 you may probably slumber. But Dare you not eat the cucumber. Cause eat any food you will now get just a little dumber. But enjoy the process of unlearning the knowledge you have. It's the same as a kid you start gaining the knowledge which you didn't had. The process of learning to unlearning is called life. Welcome aboard to Senior Citizen Club. Many Happy Returns Of The Day
