Each of my three brothers celebrated a birthday last week. All the singing and champagne-ing made me wonder: do our birth dates describe anything about us?  And then I recalled meeting a gentle old soul of a woman in a Chicago nail salon last year…stay with me…as we sat beside one another, getting manicures, we discovered we shared the same birthday. She told me her daughter had bought her a book, The Secret Language of Birthdays, and that I should check it out to see if she and I were really alike. I never did buy the book, but the website is a fun way to learn more about what your special day says about you.
