Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on April 10, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Anne Lamott! May your day be as refreshingly honest and brilliantly quirky as every line you've ever written. Whether you're gracefully wrestling with faith, illuminating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, or navigating life's storms with humor and vulnerability, you've taught us to laugh brighter through all the messiness.

Your insightful memoir "Traveling Mercies" continues to remind us that even amid struggles like depression and addiction, grace—and a good dose of humor—can always emerge victorious. Keep inspiring us to find strength in imperfection; after all, perfection is overrated. Here's hoping your birthday brings joyful moments worth writing about!
