Welcome and thank you for visiting us!
I started Act As One because I believe that being aware and living from a place of understanding that we are all one is the only way lasting and effective change will happen in our world. We are all on this beautiful blue marble together. From my travels around the world, I have learned at a deep level that regardless of where we live on this planet, what we have in common is far greater than our differences. My intent with Act As One is to encourage us to live our lives from a place of valuing our sameness, to be soft and reasonable with each other.
These words are even more meaningful now as, globally; we face the pandemic of Covid-19 together. It can be challenging to know what to do as often conflicting recommendations are given. Clearly, our healthcare providers are learning more about this virus everyday. And as they learn more, we will undoubtedly be given more guidelines. We have an opportunity to Act As One and do everything we can to protect others and ourselves. Stay safe and healthy and, if your comfortable, go to the top of this page and click on Submit Your Story and let us know how you’re doing.

Programs we support:
Inspiring women who have access to clean water to get it to those who do not.I am very proud to be a part of The Waterbearers. We bring clean water for those around the world who do not have access to potable water. We do this by delivering water filters that are capable of filtering one million gallons of water. That is enough water for 100 people for up to 5-10 years depending on usage. Each filter costs $50 and fully 100% of all fundraising is used to purchase water
Bringing running water to the Americans who need it mostDig Deep and their branch, the Navajo Water Project concentrate their much needed work in bringing running water to native people in need here in the United States. Between 30% - 40% of Native Americans who live on reservations lack running water. This is heart-breaking when we live in such an abundant nation. Any donation, regardless of the amount, that is received for water is used just for that and nothing else. Let's bring clean water to our Native brothers and sisters.
