How are you? I feel lucky. 2011 was a blessed year of health for me & my fam, inspiring friends -- old & new, and amazing opportunities @Popdust & @Lot18. I'm fasting on 12/19 with the team at Lot18 to raise money so that kids who are truly famished can eat.

If you know me, you know how hard it is for me to not eat. Ouch.

3.5 MILLION CHILDREN DIE from hunger or hunger-related causes every year. Can you sponsor me? Taking it down a notch: You know that feeling when you're really, really hungry -- and then you finally get that first bite of something so tasty?

And how ridiculously good that feels? Everyone deserves nourishment.

What's in it for you? (That is, besides holiday fuzzies for feeding a kid?)

***Donate at least $25, and I'll take you for a VIP drink at one of my neighborhood spots with full Leiti-style narration. You'll learn something, I promise.

***Donate at least $75, and I'm yours ;) My time and some expertise, at least. Pick from

1. A private, tailored food tour of downtown Manhattan for you & up to three besties

2. OR a private wine + food pairing class with for you & up to three besties

***$500+ just call me, pick a date in 2012, and let me know what I can do for you. I'll cook, I'll clean, I'll paint you a picture, I'll read your kid's college essays, or I'll make you a Powerpoint presentation.........?

Thank you in advance. If you're not in the place to give, I still wish you a happy new year. And look forward to talking soon. Let me know if I can ever be helpful.
