30th Birthday (March 19th 1995): Swig Suite, Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, California
In 1995, I committed to celebrating my life and the relationships that enriched it. My 30th birthday at the Swig Suite in San Francisco marked the beginning of a tradition—every five years, I gather friends and family to celebrate. These gatherings are my way of thanking those who have been part of my journey, and the memories created are priceless.
Embraced relationships over material gifts, asking for donations to charity instead.
My 30th birthday celebration in 1995 at the Swig Suite in the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, was a turning point. It marked the start of a tradition of bringing together the people who have been a significant part of my journey. Instead of gifts, I asked my guests to donate to a charity of my choice, focusing on the true essence of friendship and connection. This first gathering set the tone for what would become a cherished tradition. The theme was “Land,” celebrating the foundation of relationships and achievements built over the years.
