Dear Friend,
Thank you for taking a moment with me. I wanted nothing more than to be surrounded by my community on my 40th. This isn’t exactly what I had in mind, but energetically, it’ll do the trick.
Inside your package
Candle
My request
Hold a simple ceremony in my honor. Find a special glass and add one or two ice cubes. Pour in the Aquavit. Light your candle. Take a sip. Rip a small piece of flash paper off the sheet. Close your eyes. Make a wish on my behalf for my 40th year and metaphorically place your wish inside the flash paper. Gently light the paper in the flame. Take one more sip. My hope is that your wish will make its way to me from around the world.
When to hold your ceremony
I was born on February 6th at 2:03pm Central Time (that’s 3:03pm ET / 12:03pm PT). Ideally, you can hold the ceremony at that time no matter where you are in the world, but anytime that’s convenient for you is marvelous. This will not be done together over Zoom or FaceTime. This is meant to be a private ceremony.
What is Aquavit?
Aquavit is a Scandinavian spirit that I love serving at ceremonial moments (birthdays, celebrations, honorings). It’s a strong & sturdy drink that I prefer to sip slowly. If you abstain from alcohol, you’re welcome to replace with your drink of choice.
I love you. Thank you for celebrating with me.
Molly
