Last week I celebrated my birthday online and pledged to donate $3 for every photo people would post of themselves celebrating my birthday with me. I've finally gotten a chance (I am, after all, still in the middle of my road trip) to collect all the photos from the many corners of the Web people posted to and put together a big collage. I've also counted them all up and have now made a donation of $212 to Charity: Water.

This has been a fantastic birthday for me, but what makes me feel truly rich is how this has been a great birthday for others. As they explain, "Each $20 can give one person clean, safe drinking water for 20 years."

I'm very blessed to consider so many wonderful people my friends and family, so from the bottom of my heart: Thank You.
