This is a discussion group for 29Givers in the San Francisco Bay Area, so we can discuss ways to connect and give locally.
You rock! Thanks for sharing my app. I agree, it would be fun to have a 29Days app.
I thought folks might want to know about some service related legislation being introduced, The GIVE Act in the House and the Serve America Act.
Service Nation is asking that you call your Representative today and ask them to support the GIVE Act.
Great! I look forward to reading about what you learn this time ... we can learn from you too...
I read the writings you have linked on this post; both make good points. Yes, slowing down and giving time is sometimes one of the hardest things to d...
Yesterday I started my 4th cycle of the 29 Day Giving Challenge. Each time I do the challenge, I learn something new.
Cycle 1: I learned that compassion is the hardest gift to give.
Cycle 2: I learned that I need to slow down and give more gifts...

- What I'd most like to receive:
- A book deal about having fun and doing good with a successful, but *fun* publisher.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Jennifer Lee's Life Unfolds Blog

Gratitude Journal for iPhone
I thought folks who have iPhones might want to know about theGratitude Journal iPhone application. Isn't it cute?
I think it would be cool if there was a 29 Gifts iPhone application.

Time is a Gift: Reflections on My 29th Day of the Giving Challenge
Cross-posted from Have Fun * Do Good
I am an extremely busy person who makes a lot of lists. Work lists. Personal lists. Urgent, Not Urgent, Important, Not Important Lists. And I have a lot of ideas, which get added to the lists, and make them longer.
Time is never on my side.
Those of you who are not time addicts like myself might not understand… Continue

- Thanks so much for putting Cami on your show! I loved your interview.
We are so proud of her and the work she has created for us here, I was number 434 and am on the welcoming committee as the official welcomer of International women because I was doing it, I wanted to give to all of them, personal notes and welcomes to the US website! I was able to go out to California from Atlanta and meet with her after being in the challenge 2 rounds, maybe 3, it was an awesome coincidence! But totally due to the gifts coming to me because the gifts I am putting out. This stuff really works, and my life is wonderful, due to Cami. Thanks for the wonderful interview I will be forwarding the link to many of my friends that have not joined yet!

Tantra Bensko said… - Ah, I see you will be at the meet up, won't you, then? Well, do you have an interest in Tantra Yoga DVD's? If it's not a form of yoga you like, feel free to let me know. But I produce them, and can give you one if you like. It's called Tantra With the World, very long and thorough, about all the various aspects of living a Tantric life, relating to the world as a whole in a Tantric way, doing the exercises, the breathing, mantras, stretches, meditations, and such. I have two new ones coming out to complete the series very soon. The whole series is called Tantric Lucidity. You can see some of my more casual little videos at http://www.YouTube.com/LucidTantra. They talk about things like Tantra and physics, Tantra and activism, the Om Ah Hum mantra, alternate nostril breathing, and such. Normally, I don't give them away because of the expense, but in this case, it feels right. Namaste.

Congrats to your husband for his award and to you for getting the closet cleaned out!! Your tenacity is impressive! May you get some good sleep tonight.....
Great give!! Life is way too short to waste what time we have with our loved ones!!
I've stared reading Cami's book & as I'd expected it's been a great inspiration & also answered some of my questions about the philosophy of giving. I thought before that for a gift to be real it needed to be special, not usual everyday thing or o...

Those are great gives. Yummy cupcakes will be a hit for sure! And your gift of undivided attention is so thoughtful on a hectic day. Glad you found it just as rewarding for yourself as it was to your team members ;-)
Welcome to the challenge, Katherine. The care package was a great give to your friend.
I love all the wonderful responses you have received to your question. I can't resist adding my two cents.
A couple of simple ideas to try:
1. Find or make 5 to 15 minutes once or twice per day. With "three children and a partner" and all the res...
Wow!! That was so beautifully said. I'd like to reach through the computer and give you a big hug ;-) Hope you will settle for a virtual hug. Your gives were wonderful! Blessings to you, LuckyGirlJulie.
I went to my daughter's work and I gave a book to charity through her bookstore. I did it because I know there are a lot of children who don't own a book. I was a grade school librarian and the kids got such a kick out of owning their own books. I...
