Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- Because giving makes me feel happy, it's good to make someone smile. If you make someone happy you are happy. I've been a giving human being all my life from giving away toys as a toddler to give time, books, money as an adult. I believe that we live in a fantastic moment in time in which we should count our blessings everyday and realise that in fact we own everything meaning that as a big human family we are everything belongs to everyone. Sharing what we have should be as natural as receiving, so keeping the flow is my main aim.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Anything that the Universe knows will help my mission on Earth. I have been blessed with many things at the right time so I trust the Universe and beloved Mother/Father God to give me what they think it's right to keep my family and my extended world wide family happy.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- From an email of Daily charity
- About me:
- I'm 41 years old, I am a mum and I love to give. So far I guess I am the only person living in the UK. If there is anyone out there who lives in th UK please let me know. I was born in Lisbon - Portugal married a lovely man born in Dallas - Texas - USA but he moved to the UK when he was 6. So there is a connection to the USA. I live in a lovely town - Chippenham in Wiltshire - you can find it on google earth or google maps.

It works, it really does work
It works, it really does work. Only now I was able to sit down and think about all the things that happened in the last 5 weeks. I had a very nasty ( but a great moment of learning) depressive episode during Christmas. I went as down as anyone can imagine to the point of knowing that was not me, and that I wanted my "old me" back. I did all the tricks possible, slept for hours and hours, read inspirational quotes and books, went out for walks, and nothing was working. Everything seemed dark a… Continue

Day 11 - 29 Days of Giving Challenge
Family is still around they completly took over my home, I have two options get ready upset to see the house completely messy and upside down or practice the art of detachment and and patience. During the morning we visited a lovely city just 1 hour away from the place where I live. In spite of the weather we had a good time with 3 kids aged from 2 to 7 the smaller ones wanting different things, running away from us, or shouting again the art of patience was put into practice. On the way back ho… Continue

Day 10 - 29 Days of Giving Challenge
Had my brother-in-law visiting with two little ones, and they made me think that some times the gift of patience is a big gift. Not so much with the children but specially with the adults that sometimes can be inflexible and you need a lot of patience for example when someone decides that no matter what wants a football and I had to look for one. In the way I saw some street musicians and gave them some change and a smile card so at least looking for a football just out of the blue helped me wit… Continue

Day 10 - 29 Days of Giving Challenge
Today I had a very busy day as I do voluntary work for my daughter's school and spent most of the morning there in meetings with the new ead teacher and the chair of governors I think that for today that will be my giving. I hardly had time to seat and rest all day. I also convinced my 16 years old god-daughter to do a 29 giving Challenge :)

- I am learning that too about paying attention. It's amazing that when you ask you are answered. It's just a matter of be present for the answer. I am getting better and better at that. Ana I can feel the love from you and I hope you can feel it from me right back. :)

- "The beauty of life is also the balance between giving and receiving. Today I included you in my prayers at 5.00 pm GMT, I am just letting you know the time because some magic things have been happening to me today, so I was just wondering if anything happened on your side. Love and Light and a Thousand Smiles, Ana "
I don't know if this counts as "magic" but it was to me. I sometimes wonder if I matter, if I am making a difference in the world. Well today I got an email that let me know that I am. It was out of the blue and it was just what I needed to hear. A great receive indeed. :)

Dawn said… - Dear Ana,
i got a reply from Johnny Harra today. he sent a short note thanking me for the card and saying he hoped to hear more from me, as well as a CD of him singing. not quite as personal as i would have hoped, but i know he wrote it because he gave me his autograph when he gave us the ride and even though i lost it i recognize the signature.
hope you are doing okay. i am doing fine here in TX. Hugs, Dawn

- Dear Ana,
thanks for the suggestion to write to the man who helped me. i googled his name and discovered that he is still performing and is in fact considered the #1 Elvis tribute artist ever. i found an address for his fan club so could send him a letter in care of that. it says that he will try to answer all letters with a return address so hopefully that means there's a good chance of him getting it. Hugs, Dawn
