Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I've always felt fortunate in some way. I've had my health, a loving family, etc.. Not to be confused with a silver spoon. Along the way I've made many errors in judgment, but learned without spending too much time in the land of Hindsight. I'm now re-dedicating my choice to give simply because I've become self-absorbed with my own problems.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- The selfishness in me wants a comfort zone. However, I truly want the freedom in order to devote a greater amount of time to many causes I'm not able to now.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- The Today Show
- About me:
- Animal lover and a recruiter/headhunter.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

Ruth, I always feel guilty entering raffles, believing there are many more deserving than I. However, what the Hamsa represents; the transcending of religions, is a beautiful reminder of how we're all part of the plan. I couldn't help myself.:)

Well, nothing is useless, I stand corrected. Uninteresting to most, fascinating to us of the curious minority.
Beautiful.
Okay, here's a weird occurence. A few weeks ago I bought a loaf of bread that was missing a heel. Rare, but not unheard of. 2 loaves later I bought a different brand and what did it have? 3 heels!! Strange, but true.

Hi Jane:
Thanks for this information. A great gift! I passed it on to my friend Juli, who starts chemo tomorrow. She was very appreciative. Thanks again! Keri
Today was an ok day. It snowed last night, which was kind of fun for the holiday season.
My gift today to Chris today was to leave him be when he was upset about something. He took a ride in his car, and I wanted to call him to make sure he was o...
Today I was at Barnes & Noble checking out with some Christmas purchases when I was offered the chance to buy a book for a child. A book mobile with free books and meals goes around to different neighborhoods in the area and gives kids a chance to...
Well, okay. Here it goes.
This morning we had some family photos done. We've been going to the same photographer for years. Instead of just thanking her at the end of the session, I made a point to tell her how much we love her work and how we tr...
Something helpful I learned along the way was to honestly examine my motives in whatever I was doing...this always helps me look at my part of the interaction in a relationship. Am I trying to get attention, control, validation? If my motive are p...
Friday mainly consisted of giving clicks, calls to check on a lonely friend, and a ride home for a friend who called and needed a ride. Saturday I called a friend who has MS to check on her. She lives about 3 hours away so haven't seen her since M...
My friend is a comedian and he does a very late show and not a lot of people show up and I went to support him and went to another show he did at another venue. I don't have a car so sometimes I can talk myself out of going places because "it's to...
Thanks for your positive impression of Kiva.org. I've seen several people mention Kiva so I'm getting inspired to go out there myself and make a micro-loan. Giving to help women in third world countries build their business and support their famil...
I haven't been blogging, but I haven't quit the challenge either. I am fighting the pain in my hips as well as a cold, so I have been remiss in my recording my giving experiences. Today's blog is more of a list:
Gifts of time to two different par...

Maybe you will spend less time in the land of Hindsight since you joined the Weirdness group?
