So, if someone asks for money or a ride I help them out. It's a good place to help and give, so is the local library. This time it was very different.

A hypnotherapy gift!

I know I have not been on this site much lately but ever since I joined,  I have tried and will continue to try and complete my 29 days of giving. I get busy trying to stabilize my financial and other situations and don't get on here much, but I am still in the same mind set.

Hello everyone! I just joined! There is no doubt in my mind, that the principles learned via this gift giving process works.

This video encompasses what I've learned the most from the 29-Day Giving Challenge, that giving compassion, kindness and patience can be the greatest gift. *note: it's kinda cheezy.
