Thank you Lisa. I intend (though we'll see if I have the fortitude!) to not use the computer at home for a whole day as one of my gifts. While the internet is a great place to find information (l...

I second this. This woman is amazing. Her CD's have helped many, many people dealing with different issues. I find her choice of words and the sound of her voice perfect for someone who needs guided imagery and affirmations.

I love all the wonderful responses you have received to your question. I can't resist adding my two cents. A couple of simple ideas to try: 1. Find or make 5 to 15 minutes once or twice per day. With "three children and a partner" and all the res...

Do take care of yourself. Let the giving come naturally, don't force it. I do know that when I am feeling "bad" I feel better when I give to someone. It helps me to feel happy bringing someone else some happy.

Hi, I think a great meditation practice would be to practice subtle action. Deepak Chopra wrote an article on Oprah.com, and basically you quiet yourself within, probably by focusing on each single breath, without straining yourself, trying to rel...

When you have a great teacher, you must recognize them! Good teachers are getting harder and harder to find! Good job taking care of your child's teacher!!!

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
from my sister, after Cami's appearance on the Today Show
About me:
I'm a 51 year old mother of five kids. Four out of the five of our kids were adopted internationally, two with special medical needs.

My two oldest 27 and 23 are out of the house. Jack 9 Sam 8 and Molly 7 1/2
are still at home!

I am an athiest - but do believe that there are spiritual paths and practices that I would like to incorportate in my life.

Day Thirteen!

In this process, I've found that my gifts are often self serving, in a good way! Giving with intent and focus reflects right back in my heart.

Yesterday, my gift was simply to treat someone who often irritates me with kindness and attention and in a non-critical way. He didn't change, he still did all the things that have irritated me in the past - but I found I went through the day in peace and serenity! Lucky me.

My second gift yesterday was at Starbucks drive-through - I told the cashier I… Continue

Days Eleven and Twelve

Day eleven was a real hump day for me. I didn't feel in a very "giving" mood that day. I did go home between work and my Al Anon meeting to wash the dishes, so that when John came home with the kids he would only face making dinner, and not an already dirty kitchen.


Day twelve. In the morning I had a wee panic att… Continue

Day Nine

I'm finding it much harder to work on my mindfulness during the work week. Getting to work, working, checking out 29gifts.org :), working some more, picking up kids, making dinner, helping w/ homework, bedtime for kids, crashing in front of TV for a mindless hour, bath for me, and bedtime for grownups.

I don't doubt that I "give" during all of that somewhere - but not with purpose and thoughful action.

Day Nine, I did do it - we won a gift basket full of coffees and a half dozen T-shirts from… Continue
