HC I just wanted to pop in and say:
Happy Birthday Ideal!!! 
HC I hope you had a WONDERFUL, BLESSED, FUN-FILLED day
HC I hope I'm as fly as some of our GC Women are when I turn 30 years old
HC Remember that the way thay you see yourself sometimes (i.e. where you thought you'd be in "x" amount of years), is NOT what others see
HC Others (i.e. your girls, your friends and family, even your GC Fam) see an intelligent, educated, admirable, beautiful, accomplomplished woman
HC I'm just being real with ya
HC Lots of us aren't where we'd thought we be at certain points in our lives, but we've still made significant strides despite the many obstacles put in our paths, and are blessed
HC That's not just for Ideal, that's for all my beuatiful GC sistahs
HC On that note, everyone stay blessed and I'm out
