"Jenna, Oh my, what an intense experience. I am so glad that you are both okay, although I know how emotions can stay in the body. I look forward to your session on Wednesday. First, you will get a BIG HUG. Then, it's all about your healing --…"

Day 29

Ah, my last day. Well, it's not really my last day. After all, this giving has momentum: it builds and builds.As I reflect on these last 29 days, I notice what gives seemed to come naturally and what gives stretched me a bit. I not only opened myself to giving in general, but I created more peripheral vision; I see possibilities everywhere now. And I see the impact that such acts of generosity and compassion have on those around me.There is something poignant about spending a whole month…See More

"this lady is certainly creative in figuring out a way to earn a little money. more an entrepreneur than a panhandler. what a great give, and you got to enjoy a poem into the bargain :-D"

"Both you and Elly Rose share this incredible gift of Reiki. I have been on the receiving end of Reiki and know how incredibly calming it can be. Your restoring a sense of comfort in this little boy was such a special give to both him and his mom,…"

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I believe whole-heartedly that what you project out into the universe comes back to you. I believe that giving and receiving are like the yin-yang symbol -- they need one another and they must be balanced. I want to give to help other achieve this balance as well as to feel this balance myself.
What I'd most like to receive:
Thoughts of healing for loss. My father passed away in August and I am moving through these strange waters of grief and loss and remembrance.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?

About me:
I am a massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, artist, and writer living in Seattle, WA. I am fascinated by the interplay of healing and art and love exploring the connections between these two powerful entities in my practice.

What an artful day I had yesterday! My big give ended up being to myself: I did art for over four hours (and made quite the lovely mess!).



But in the process, I was able to give...



... a condolence card to a client whose dog passed away. I found a card with beautiful flowers on it and added an image of an angel-dog on the front. I wrote her a personal message and mailed it off.



and



... my art piece Deer of Potential to my friend Nedra, who,… Continue

Yesterday's give involved my purchasing a poem from a woman who lives on the streets of my neighborhood. This woman used to offer to recite a poem aloud in exchange for some change, and I think she soon realized that people didn't want to stop to hear a poem (kind of sad, really), so she now uses some of her change to get her poems photocopied.



As I was walking toward her yesterday, I began searching deep in the nooks and crannies of my purse for change. I think I was able to uncover… Continue

Yesterday was my friend Corbin's birthday. In celebration of the way she is opening up to the world in such a powerful way (after many years of personal hardships), I gave her this vintage Hawaiian card. I love how the woman is opening her arms to the big, wide world. I also love how this card is such a potent red color. This red is passionate and powerful--two attributes I see growing in my dear friend.…

Day 25

Yesterday morning I gave distance Reiki for the two-year-old son of a friend of mine. My friend and her family are finding themselves very distressed these days due to a stressful living situation, and my friend's son was picking up on all the stress and worry. He even said when they were out the other day, "Momma, I don't want to go home."



Because I wasn't able to see this cute little two-year-old--and I wanted to give him some comfort right away--I gave him Reiki from a distance. I… Continue
