Days 21 - 24...Self-care

I did what I said and took the time to be still. Had some really great time on the mat and avoided coming down with a cold. Each day I gave in some way and I continue to be mindful of giving. I struggled with not posting each day and whether or not giving to myself meant I should start over, but have decided that I'm going to stick with this commitment.Today, I gave some time to a precious friend for an online chat. And talking to her is always a gift to myself. She asked for some ideas in the…See More

Day 20 - Free Coupons to the Children's Museum

After booking my daughter's birthday party at the Children's Museum, they gave me a stack of coupons which entitled a child to free admission with an accompany adult. I offered them up on facebook and had three people show interest. I finally got around to packaging them up yesterday and mailing them out. Hopefully the coupons will get the children to the museum for some good fun that they might not have had otherwise.I continue to wake up each day asking myself how I can give to the world and…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I am choosing to give because it has always come natural to me - reading Cami's book has definitely made it a more mindful occurrence. I like the challenge of focusing on what I have to offer each day and journaling about the gratitude I have.
What I'd most like to receive:
I'd most like to receive stories of others' giving and how it affected their lives.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Shopping for gift ideas online....the book came up in my search. I read one and gave five others out as Christmas gifts.
About me:
I am a married mother of three and we have a bunch of pets. I enjoy gourmet cooking, photography, writing, yoga, natural living, organics, sewing, knitting, painting.....I find that I don't have enough time, it is my most scarce resource so I'll be looking for meaningful ways to give it to others.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes

Day 19 - Haiti Relief Funds

Posted on January 19, 2010 at 7:02am 2 Comments

I made a nice contribution today to the Haiti relief effort via Wyclef Jean's non-profit organization, Yele. Of course this was a joint effort with the man who keeps the bank account nourished - my husband.

I hope it makes a difference.

I also took these two pooches for a walk this morning, but that's really an obligation at this point, one I do not look forward to. Walking two dogs in training is not a lot of fun.

Day 18 - A Happy Birthday voicemail

Posted on January 18, 2010 at 8:50pm 3 Comments

A friend of mine turned 31 today. I called to wish her a happy birthday, but no answer. I had my daughters sing happy birthday with me and only wish I could see her smile when she checks her messages.

I also walked our new dogs a lot! They always appreciate it.

I think it's great and easy how we can do random, small, helpful, good things throughout everyday! For ourselves, other people, and our living environment :)
