Once upon a time…

I lived in a small village in rural Guyana where the entire community gathered their drinking and washing water from a hole in the ground.

This community generously hosted myself and a group of do-gooding youth, but our presence depleted their water – that hole in the ground would not fill up as quickly as we drank its supply.

I lived on 1/4 of a bucket of dirty water for three months.

My cells remember what I drank.

My heart aches for those who can’t escape what I left behind.

My soul demands change.

99% of this party is about celebrating life and raising money for charity: water.

The last 1% is about my birthday; this is my birthday party.

My birthday wish is to live in a world where life is celebrated, community is supported, and love is spread far and wide.

I am inviting you to come and celebrate with me and make a donation to charity: water.

Life deserves to be celebrated. And, everyone deserves to live a Great Life.

Deep thanks for helping me celebrate my life and for making life easier for an entire community across the world.

Keeping adding love.
