Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I want to get back to the optimistic person I once was. Regardless of what comes out of it for me, I think I will enjoy giving more than receiving. And really, there is nothing to lose and no risk involved in trying. I like trying new things!
What I'd most like to receive:
Optimism. I also hope this somehow leads me to the path of discovering what I really want to be doing with my life/career.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?

About me:
I am an aunt to two nephews who constantly inspire me and make me smile. I am a daughter to the most amazing mom, a big sister to a brother who has grown into the most amazing man, father, and husband, and a grandaughter to some pretty interesting grandparents who are full of love and passion.
