Happy belated birthday, Mark! And a very belated one to you, Ingrid! As a belated birthday present, I’d like to offer a new genre of books that you could pioneer. What’s the best way to contact?
I’m sure Ingrid made your day special, Mark! (And I’m sure Mark made yours special, Ingrid!) You two are great!
Thank you Ed, you are always so kind and positive. A rare thing in this world. So thank you. Not sure what you mean though about a new genre of books. I only use email for my current coaching clients to keep things streamlined and efficient, but you can post any question/comment etc. here and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon I hope. Mark
A new birthday year about to begin
An address change too, two reasons to grin
The video shared of you both at the beach
Will soon become true as it’s well within reach
You’ll frolic in sunshine along sandy shores
Your new birthday year has a welcoming lure!!
Happy Mirthday Mark!!!
Best,
Lynn 🙂
Hi Lynn, can you see it? The sunny smile that spreads across my face every time you shine your light in my direction? I hope so. Love and light to you and yours this weekend. Mark
Happy Birth Day Mark. Have a wonderful year full of joy and success.
Dinesh Verma
Thank you D, and right back at you. Have a wonderful weeekend and thanks for taking time to say hello. Mark
Mark,
Happy birthday and have and even happier trip to the land of milk and honey.
Roger
Thank you Roger! Warm wishes to you and yours this weekend. Mark
Happy Birthday, Mark!
Thank you Joe, and have a great weekend! Mark
I was pleased to have this opportunity to leave an endorsement for you on LinkedIn. Happy birthday, Mark, and please pass along my belated greetings to Ingrid.
Hi Dave, thank you for that… both the social share AND the birthday wish. Have a great weekend and know that Ingrid and I are thinking of you. We’re traveling at the moment. 😉 Mark
You look absolutely ravishing in purple leotards.
Keep up the good work- outs.
Well thank you, Andy. I try to stay in shape. LOL. I appreciate you having fun with me and wish you a wonderful weekend. Mark
Happy Birthday Mark! Funny videos, that was quite an Irish jig
Hi John, thanks for having fun with me and celebrating the day. Have a great weekend! Mark
The greatest birthday wish for anyone is to find themselves. When we are born, we are a gift to our parents, ourselves, the planet and the cosmos. For years, we might search to find who we are until finally it happens and it’s “our time.” You’ve done that and something else with Ingrid best expressed by Nancy Sinatra singing “You only live twice.” I sent you one present, the Bridgeport novel. I’m finishing another called “Harry and Rita.” Then, we’ll work together on what you do and celebrate.
Hi Joel, thank you for celebrating my day with me. Been on the road so I’m late responding, but it’s much appreciated. Mark
Have a great birthday this time and for the next 8o
Thank you Robert! Getting caught up on comments this morning. 🙂 Mark
Happy Birthday Mark, I hope you will love your California move.
Thank you Dorlies! And I’ll still be thinking of you. Do let me know if anything big happens. 😉 Mark
Hi Mark,
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and may you have many more – for a while back there you had us worried about your health issues. Glad you’re healthy again,
Selwyn
Thank you Selwyn! Here’s to a happy and healthy next 12 months for both of us. 😉 Mark
Happy birthday Mark, I hope all your wishes come true. Today is my 4th 29th birthday. lol. It’s been a good day so far.Enjoy.
Thank you Charmain and Happy Birthday right back at you! I’m traveling right not so it’s taken me a while to respond… but I read your comment and I appreciate you. Have a great weekend. Mark
Fun video Mark. Happy birthday. See you tomorrow evening . HJP
Thank you Hollis, and it was good seeing you the other night. Keep doing what you’re doing and keep me posted. You’re getting there. 🙂 Mark
Mark,
I enjoyed your Birthday, 2015 video with the ocean as a background. The ocean reminded me of all of nature’s bounty under the waves. All the very best.
Hi Esther, thank you for the birthday wish! I’m traveling right not so it’s taken me a while to respond… but I read your comment and I appreciate you posting it. Have a great weekend. Mark
U BELONG ON U-TUBE!!!!

My favorite video is “Highbrow” Thanksgiving Humor 2012.
Hi Joan, that’s one of my personal favorites as well. Hope you got at least one little laugh out of everything to help you enjoy your weekend. Warm wishes to you and I hope everything is going well with your project. Keep believing and keep going. You are the real deal. Mark
Hi Mark,
I’m a former Canadian, eh. I came to America as an ice hockey player. At one time “Let’s get physical” was the only thing I knew.
Roger
Hi Roger, that’s great. I didn’t say this in the post but Ingrid knows Olivia which makes the whole thing even funnier to me. Mark
Glad you’re in such good shape again! And having fun.
Thanks for sharing joyful thoughts. I always appreciate that.
Hi David, not so much with too many recent visits to the hospital… but one day at a time. I’m healthy now, I think. Just not really active again yet. But we can all live vicariously through these videos. 😉 Thanks for enjoying them with us and having a sense of humor. Mark (and Ingrid)
Happy Valentine’s Day Mark and Ingrid!
Know that I love you both and it is indeed an honor to have you in my life, also. You are so personable and kind…and that mixed with comedy is so rare. These videos are a scream! Hot Mama and sizzling Papa!
And, thank you so much for imparting information on how I can create my own. Can’t wait to find the time. Enjoy your day and thanks for inspiring mine! Love, Lola
Hi Lola, I definitely have fun putting these together. I know that some of them are a little over the top, but laughter is good and being predictable and/or boring isn’t… so there you go. Thank you for having a sense of humor with us and always being kind. We appreciate that, and look forward to you having more and more success. Mark (and Ingrid)
