Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- This fits so perfectly with my own personal philosophy of generosity bringing happiness, contentment and abundance into our lives that I had to be part of it. I have always strived to be generous with my time, emotions, talents and resources and I truly believe that the greatest luxury in the world is the capacity to give. Its something we can all do regardless of our financial position and if more people subscribed to that philosophy the world would simply become a more beautiful place.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I am far from wealthy, but to quote a song, "I've got all I need is that simple enough?" The gift that I would most like to receive that has eluded me is the enduring love of a good man. Other than that, I love beautiful things created by man or nature, sunsets and moonrises, stones and shells, trees, Gaudi's architecture - gifts from the heart matter more.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- from a work colleague
- About me:
- I am Australian, (in Brisbane) bohemian, creative, complex, soulful, intelligent, a deep thinker, emotional
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

Day 10 - The Secret
Day 10 and I was chatting via email with my Mum who lives in Victoria - (about a 2.5 hour flight from me) and she had mentioned something about 'The Secret'. I guess its one of those things that you either subscribe to its philosophies or not, depending on your own views on the world/universe/God etc, but its a book that I read and took some good things from. My gift today was a copy of this book, mailed to my Mot… Continue

Day 7 - Another Muffin!
I work with some of the nicest ladies I have ever met and we have a really great culture in our little office. One of these ladies, Narelle is just a doll, she is sweet, thoughtful and caring and is always bringing little gifts for the office. She is the person who always does the rounds of the office if she is going out somewhere to ask if anyone needs something picked up or dropped off in another part of the unive… Continue
