Seeuatnoon for Tea & Cake With Strangers evolved over many years of collecting cellphone numbers from people across both coasts of my life.

When my three children were young, we decided that birthday cake, candles and wishes didn’t have to be limited to one day a year. We made having tea, cake and candles a spontaneous event on random days.

There’s always an opportunity for wish-making, celebrating, and every candle lit can be blown out with gratitude, intention and even prayer.

Strangers sometimes get a bad rap, but remember: friends, family—partners, etc.—were once strangers too! Now, they are people we love and care deeply about.

Experience and discover what it feels like to celebrate a moment and a life with a stranger. With a piece of cake and wish-making candle, you might find a new friend or even a family member!
