Nzirambi Photo Exhibition Fundraiser

Everyone has a friend that is just an inherently good person. A friend that through their actions makes you strive to be a better person. @KarenSnider is that friend for me.
She recently began an educational fund for orphans in Nzirambi, Affrica and will be holding a Photo exhibition / fundraiser for the education of the orphans. When she asked if I would like to help out, I didn't hesitate.

Thank you Karen for inviting me to assist with your project and event!

Thinking about Crashaversary

Last night I was reminiscing about a party I had a while back.  Crashaversary was a tweetup of sorts. I organized it around a difficult time in my life, and rather than let the dark feelings win over my true light hearted and happy nature... (Is that sarcasm? It might be. You decide.) I wanted to celebrate the fact that I am still here and able to be sarcastic and silly.

I was touched by the amount of people who joined me in my (more like our) celebration of life. Everyone's been through something. I believe that everyone has personal victories and we should celebrate them. Having a Crashaversary was a great way to commemorate everyone's strength and passion for life.

The event was held at @e11evenToronto, and did we ever enjoy the venue the service and food. The social media engagement specialist (yes, I made that title up) Sam, was wonderful and gave out vouchers for our next visit. The sommelier @JonnyDrinks also took the time out to visit with us. Truly a wonderful experience and we were all happy to meet the people behind the twitter handles and restaurant. We've been there a few times since and plan to go back again. 

I can't thank the people who attended enough. I think of all of you, and appreciate you for just... well being you. I hope that we will have many more opportunities to celebrate life and milestones and life victories (large or small) together.   

One of my "tweeps" @DoomzTO even wrote his own blog post about our little gathering. *Thanks Casey.

The Colours of Me

I just thought this was a really cute representation of me. So I'm sharing :)
