Thanks for the encouragement on blogging. When I started this challenge, I had never blogged before. This is easy, it is all set up for you. I will probably never be a champion blogger. I went to your site. I loved it. Why to Oregon to rest. I am from there, and just might be moving back.
Enjoy your 29 days of giving and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. Click here if you need help posting stories in your Personal Giving Blog.
PLEASE HELP US GROW: Our collective goal is to revive the giving spirit in the world by inspiring 20,000 people to give at least 29 Gifts to others. Please help spread the word. Here is an email invitation you can send to friends.
CAUSE OF THE MONTH: This month we're supporting fellow 29Giver and breast cancer survivor, Elysia Skye. Elysia really needs our help to raise funds for a surgery her insurance won't cover. Read Elysia's story here. Donate to her surgery fund today if you can and please spread the word about her cause to anyone you think might help.
Good giving!
P.S. Don't miss our cool downloadable gift card and handy 29-Day Giving Calendar, which helps you keep track of your gifts.
P.P.S. The 29 Gifts book is now officially in the works and we're looking for 29 amazing giving stories from community members to include. Click here for details on how to submit one of your stories for publication.
