Dear Jaonne, friendships can be so hard sometimes and I understand how hurt you are feeling. Unfortunately, you can't control how others will react and they will end up the ones losing out in the end. Hopefully she will come around soon and accept y…

Hello, Jaonne.

Dear Jaonne: I t is obvious that you regret what you said, and have done everything you could think of to make amends. Perhaps your friend just need a little time before being able to resume the relationship. In my opinion, what she or one of the th…

Need some words of encouragement
Hey friends! Just started my 29 day gift journey and I today I am a little down and I am looking for words of encouragement. Some of my closest friends had a birthday party sleepover at a nice hotel this weekend and I was not invited. I am thinking the reason I was not invited was do a minor very monor comment I accidentially made to one of my friends and she took it wrong. This was on my birthday of all cases.....I apologized, I cried, begged for forgiveness, wrote her letter, sent her some flo… Continue

Looking forward to starting my Journey
I saw the show on The Today SHow. I was instantly wanting to purchase the book and to begin my venture. I havent started the book yet but today I started to get in the gift giving mode. I treated a co-worker to lunch today. I also sent thank you notes to several friends and people that help me everyday in my job to their faxes. I think a bunch of different people will be excited when they go to work tomorrow and see a fax of thanks and gratitude!! They all do so much for me in so many ways!!

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

Hi Erin

Thanks for your vulnerability in sharing this
Mbali
Mbali, this is such a pertinent post for me right now. I'm struggling with forgiveness and resentments I hold against someone right now. I know, rationally, that it is hurting me far more than it will ever hurt her... I can't let go yet. I'm working…

Yeah, I hear you, sister. I'm feeling similarly, in case you have not read my latest post. Cry it out and laugh it out. Stay busy and stay focused on giving. We'll get through this! ;-)
Thursday, Dec. 17 was my 29th day of this giving challenge. I started off giving some extra time to a client. I also gave lots of loving pets to her old dog who does not have much longer to live. My client gave me some delicious protein bar snacks a…
Another gray frigid day, no visible and warming outer sun on this Winter Solstice day, and that encouraged me to reach down deep where my Inner Sun is always shining. Today was my last day of picking up last-minute items to include in holiday packag…
