The Gift Experiment
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I am also in a rather dark/down time in my life and need to shake myself out of the way I'm thinking. I don't want to dwell anymore in my fear, and this sounds like exactly what I need to do right now.
Also, I keep running into it everywhere. I think Someone's trying to give me a hint!
- What I'd most like to receive:
- In all seriousness?
A safe place to live that's big enough for me and my family to rent.
Enough money to pay off all of my debt.
A gallery relationship where I can consistently show my photographs and paintings.
Stuff for the new baby coming next year.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- All over, one internet posting from a friend and then on Craigslist
- About me:
- I live in Los Angeles, CA with my daughter, sister, husband, a dog and two cats and a great deal of art. I'm a photographer/writer/painter/occasional filmmaker by night when I'm not working my dayjob. I also run a small independent press that specializes in alternative thought/religion and genre books. I'm currently expecting my second child in April/May of next year.

On the Hard
This has been the hardest week so far.
The house we thought we were going to be able to rent...the landlord changed her mind and decided not to rent to us after all, after assuring us everything was fine.
I am heartbroken.
It was hard to stay on the challenge. But I took my sister and my daughter to Disneyland on Saturday and on Sunday, I had time and smiles for my daughter. Tonight, I'm putting together a bag of art supplies I never use for the girl at my daughter's school who's an aspiring… Continue

The Experiment so far
It's been very interesting and yes, challenging so far. I've managed to give smiles to strangers and kind words as well, every day, if nothing else. I've given away things that certainly have gone to a better home than me hanging on to them for no real reason that I can tell now.
Little changes have happened. Little gifts in return that show me there's certainly something here, something to this grand experiment. The shift in consciousness alone has been very needed and necessary.
I'm glad thi… Continue

Hi Erin
I am sorry to hear that. And Yes what if you were to start with letting go the judgement about yourself!
Thanks for your vulnerability in sharing this
Mbali
Mbali, this is such a pertinent post for me right now. I'm struggling with forgiveness and resentments I hold against someone right now. I know, rationally, that it is hurting me far more than it will ever hurt her... I can't let go yet. I'm working…

Happy belated Birthday Kate!! I've missed reading about your gives so I'm happy to hear you will be blogging again. You always have such warm insight. Hugs!
It's great to hear things are moving in a healing direction for you and your mom. I'm excited to hear more about your reading with Mbali. Take good care of YOU and I send you a big virtual hug ;-)
Yeah, I hear you, sister. I'm feeling similarly, in case you have not read my latest post. Cry it out and laugh it out. Stay busy and stay focused on giving. We'll get through this! ;-)
Thursday, Dec. 17 was my 29th day of this giving challenge. I started off giving some extra time to a client. I also gave lots of loving pets to her old dog who does not have much longer to live. My client gave me some delicious protein bar snacks a…
Another gray frigid day, no visible and warming outer sun on this Winter Solstice day, and that encouraged me to reach down deep where my Inner Sun is always shining. Today was my last day of picking up last-minute items to include in holiday packag…

I finished my (1st) challenge at the end of November. I'm just now reading 29 Gifts. I wanted to come back to the site today to see some of the other givers' gifts. I loved it when I thought I had forgotten to give and realized I had. Prosecco is a…
