30 DAYS OF NYC MEMORIES – DAY 8: ROCKIN ROLLER SK8N 30th BDAY PARTY

That time I managed to surprise Matt for his 30th birthday…

Today is my Birthday and I am 31 years old. You heard that right! THIRTY-FREAKING-ONE!

I always say that I am looking forward to being 35. I’m in no rush to get there of course, but I just feel that’s when I will look and feel my best.

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
