i love this quote! i will save it and re read it at times when i feel like i am just spinning my wheels and nothing i do or say matters. thanks for helping me to see the bigger picture, Aud. Hugs, Dawn
I really like this quote, as I've been seeing my gifts "sowing seeds" lately. I think of myself as just throwing seeds in a field. Not always knowing where they will land or if they will take root and sprout. Happily though, I have already seen so...

genuine said… - You've said you feel like you should be doing something else but aren't sure what. Has life given any clues as to what that might be yet? .... a career change, a new hobby, group, club, class, volunteer opportunity, associating with new people .... I don't know I'm just throwing things out there. I was thinking of you and your feeling of wanting to do something else, and I just know it must be so frustrating to not know what it is.

- Because I am currently unable to blog (don’t ask) I’ve decided to share with some of my friends by leaving comments with what I “would have blogged.”
Oh, I was just kidding about the “don’t ask.” but the truth is I have no idea why I can’t blog (or sign out of the site or send messages). The good part is that I can still leave comments for you and participate in discussions. This happened once before. Erin was helping me try to find solutions … I tried a bunch of things, but no luck. Then all of a sudden one day (at 4am, maybe you saw that blog post) things started working again (after about a week and a half of trouble).
I meant to share this on Friday.
It was a simple "receive" I noticed ... and I'm sure I would not have noticed this and been so grateful for it if it wasn't for my experiences with this challenge.
I run a daycare; that means lots of kids, lots of meals, and lots of dishes to wash.
Often I have the kids use sporks at meal times (you know, they're like spoon/forks, spoons with tines) .... Friday's meal included applesauce though. It seems the kids are always asking for spoons to eat their applesauce in addition to the forks (or sporks) that they need to eat other things. I thought of this on Fri. but just handed out sporks ..............and nobody asked for a spoon in addition to those. I was grateful to have 10 less pieces of silverware to wash.
It's the little things that count, that bring smiles and happiness.
This Memorial Day weekend my BIG GIVE was building a fence with my brother … it was quite a project! We fenced in the backyard play area making it a little easier for me to supervise the daycare kids (and a little safer for them).

- I get what you're saying ... it's not that you think you should be doing something MORE, but just that you feel like you need to be doing something DIFFERENT.

- Thank you for your encouraging words re "My reason to give". It came just at a time when I am feeling I have so little to offer. Isn't it amazing how our spirits connect though written words! God, The universe is fantastic!

- Hi, Audrey -
I'm happy to add you as a friend. I have enjoyed all your blogs, always find your writing insightful/thought-provoking...so you see blogging is not just bragging about what you've done; it's a give to me and others on this site.
I can totally relate to you being hard on yourself .... I have also always wanted to do more, give more, keep improving myself .... in some ways there's nothing wrong with always striving to be better, but there isn't something wrong with thinking what we already do is not enough. It's something I need to work on to.
Look forward to reading more from you soon.

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I believe that we share a universal connection to one another and because of this, share a universal responsibility to help one another.
No matter who we are, what we have, or what we do not have, every one of us has something we can "gift" to some one else. In addition, no matter who we are, what we have done or not done, or what we have, every one of us is worthy or receiving these "gifts" from eachother.
In giving these gifts we help one another and we create a positive energy flow into the universe. Others pick up on this flow and add to it, creating a snowball effect and before you know it we are in an avalanche of LOVE.
I'm in love with the world and I am here to nourish it by giving all that I can to make it a better place for all.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Peace, Love & Positive Energy

Love This Quote
LOVE this: "Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain." Sharon Salzberg

A Double Give (Or Triple) In One Sweep
Last week I ordered from St. Jude Children's Hospital as a give to them and to myself. They have something called the "Hope Gift Book" and it really has some great gifts in it at reasonable prices.
I ordered a DKNY t-shirt that says "Give Thanks" in green rhinestones for $10. It's a really nice shirt and I love the message.
I also ordered a necklace that says "Hope" in rhinestones with matching earrings from the Liz Claiborne collection for $5. I love it!

I didn't watch the lastest video. I would also imagine that they would want the avalanche of mail to stop. Isn't it amazing what a group of kind caring people can do to boost a kid when he is so sick.
After finishing the fabvulous book, "The Go-Giver" I strove today to implement the first "law", The Law of Value. This law says, " Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than what you take in payment." I had to work today...
Great gift! I'm sure your son really appreciates the time you spent with him, even more than the food.
This is an amazing way to start your challenge! I'm sure it made her day. Many hostess' and greeters don't get the credit they deserve. My 9-yr old daughter pointed this out to me just last week. She made a point to approach the greeter at our loc...
A quiet Sunday with only a trip to Whole Foods as activity. Nice. My gift to myself was the time to read the whole New York Times this morning- even the magazine. I hung around the house in my jammies reading and resting until noon. My DH made me ...

Thank you so much. It was nice to see the video. I also noticed that the family requested for people to stop sending cards at this point. I can totally understand how they want to spend their last few days with him, not sorting through mail. I'm s...
The family has asked that people STOP sending cards at this point. They celebrated Christmas with Noah on the 8th of November. They never expected the overwhelming amount of cards. They are extremely thankful, but they can't handle them anymore. N...

I love this idea! What a wonderful give. I am going to use this for christmas presents this year. I wanted to be able to give gifts with meaning instead of something that will sit on a shelf or get lost in a drawer. Thank you so much. Bless you, Patt
