"What a great gift.  I know how frustrating it is when you work really hard on something and some tech problem screws everything up -- and when it was something like a worm caused by someone doing malice it is evern worse.  I am sure the…"

Gift Sixteen – Kind Words

The weather around the world really seems out of control lately, and here in South Africa we are no exception. Over the past couple of days we have experienced heavy rain and flooding in some parts.I work for a Southern Africa Hotel Group and one of our hotels was affected by the flooding yesterday. The whole reception area was 1 meter under water and all guests had to be evacuated.I emailed a lady who works at the hotel to ask how they were and she replied telling me how stressed she is and…See More

Gift Thirteen - Water Bottle

Seeing as yesterday's gift was meant for more than one person, today's gift was specially for my boyfriend.A week ago I bought myself a new water bottle to take to work. It is a bottle with a plastic tube in the middle which you can remove and place in the freezer so when you place it back in the bottle it keeps the contents cold.My boyfriend saw this and loved the concept. He tends to be very "forgetful" when it comes to keeping hydrated so I went off and bought him the same bottle as mine and…See More

"I don't consider myself a selfish, uncaring person, and just like you - I have always tried to help others as best I can, but I think the difference between that and the "29 day challenge" is that now you are more conscious of what…"

Gift Nine - Something Small For A "New" Colleague

I started a new job today.

Gift Eight - A Chance To See My Grandfather Again

Today is my Grandfather's birthday. He would have turned 76, but he passed away 3 years ago.My Grandmother does not have a car and so I decided that my gift for the day would be to take her to the cemetery to visit my Grandfather on his birthday. I actually thought about this gift a few days ago. You see, the number 8 in my religion is an auspicious number and is meant to be good luck. My grandmother could really use some good luck which is why I saved gift 8 for her.This was an emotional day…See More

Gift Twenty Three – Message to a Friend

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:05am 3 Comments

I found out yesterday, that a friend and fellow charity volunteer is pregnant. While this is something very exciting and definitely planned, I could sense a little bit of nervousness and anxiety, so I sent her a message telling her how she is going to make such a great mother and that everyone is here to support her through it all. After a whole lot of messages, back and forth, she told me that she feels so much better for having “chatted” with me and that she now feels excited to be a mom.

Gift Twenty Two – Visiting My Grandmother

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:04am 2 Comments

My Grandmother is someone I am very fond of, but don’t get the chance to see very often.
I decided to surprise her and visit her while she was at home doing some chores. She was so excited to see me. We sat and chatted for more than an hour and was so sad to see me leave, but so very grateful for the visit at the same time.
I think this is something I am going to do more often.

Gift Twenty One – Mickey & Minnie Mouse

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:03am 2 Comments

My sister and brother in law were invited to a Disney dress up party and decided to go as Mickey & Minnie Mouse.

Neither of them really had time to go look for a costume to wear / hire clothes so I decided that my gift for the day would be to go to a dress hire place and get some stuff for them. I was not able to hire them full costumes but did manage to get them “mice ears”, a dress for my sister to wear and braces for my brother in law. I went to their house in the afternoon to give… Continue

Gift Twenty – Message to My Brother

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:03am 2 Comments

I don’t see my brother very often. He lives near me, but because of job responsibilities and relationship priorities, we are not as close as I would like us to be.



I do generally know what is happening in his life but I have never really taken the time to tell him that I appreciate him.

I sent him an email telling him that I appreciate him for who he is and that he means a lot to me and my family. He replied telling me it meant a lot to him and that he will definitely try make… Continue
