Day 22--my give was letting my son spend a little bit extra (okay a lot extra) time playing video games while I was working from home. It helped both of us ;)Day 23--I made a turkey dinner and broke out two bottles of wine I had been saving for a special occasion. It was nice. Family and friends to enjoy time with on the 1st day of the new year. Also let my son help me make cupcakes instead of doing it myself. He enjoyed helping and they were really, really good.See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: I am choosing to give purposefully and mindfully so that I can make a difference to others.

What I'd most like to receive:: I don't know what I would like to receive most...but I would most like to have a sense of peace and serenity in my heart and home.

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: I heard about it briefly in an article...promptly forgot about it, and saw the book on the shelf at the bookstore and knew I needed to buy it.

About me:: I am living a life filled with challenges, including multiple sclerosis. I was in a very, very sad spot and felt hopeless and alone. I decided that I needed to do something very different before my world crumbled further. I am going to school to learn fundraising skills and grant writing, in hopes that I can give back to the wonderful nonprofit organizations that have helped my family throughout my lifetime.
