wonderful give of time and fun with your daughter!
This is a wonderful gift. I was watching the Today show this morning and there was a family (famous football player) that does this same type of giving. They go to a restaurant and pick out another table and pay their food bill. I love it and thin...

great give to your daughter!
Oh my gosh that is wonderful! You are the gift! What a wonderful gift your grandmother has given you. My dad use to send me a check every year as a Christmas gift, a birthday, etc. I use to get upset because I thought it was a lazy gift. No though...
Today was busy- nothing new there! However, I made time for 15 minutes of meditation - which I don't normally do. The book inspired me. I really wasn't thinking about my gift campaign today and then I realized I did one without thinking. I sent a ...

That's a great idea Kris! Be like a bond between friends. Those soldiers are going to be so happy!
We were blessed today with a beautiful fall day. The leaves are still gorgeous. It was a hectic busy day. My gift today was lending my 29 Gifts book to a friend. I've asked her to read it and sign the inside cover under my name. I'm lending it to ...
This was a wonderful and loving gesture. The world needs more people like you!

DAY 14 & 15
It's been a hectic, busy, crazy two days. Yesterday was busy with Thanksgiving preparations - haircut, laundry, etc.. Dinner with my Posse. My sister arrived today and went to dinner with me and that was fun. My gift today was taking my sister to dinner and just enjoying her company. I also dropped by to see an old client and say hello. Today (Day 15, Wednesday) was nuts also. We ran errands. My gift today was making dinner for my family, buying lunch for my sister and the biggest gift of all wa… Continue

DAY 13
It was a typical Monday. Getting back into the grind of things plus the added stresses of Thanksgiving week. I am looking forward to the holiday weekend with my sister and mom and family. I made some donations to Goodwill today and mailed my holiday cards to friends and family. My gift today was a friendship love letter to a friend in need. I also called a girlfriend and listened for 45 minutes. Sometimes a girlfriend just needs to talk especially when there is a romantic breakup and this friend… Continue

Day 11 and 12
It's been a busy weekend so I am writing for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was spent cleaning and preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving guests we are having for the week. My little daughter was a HUGE help getting things organized and she loves to help. Even though I am busy doing things she is always by my side and it feels so special. My gift was going to dinner with my family and later taking in a late movie with my older daughter and 5 of her friends. We went to see The Blind Side. WOW - w… Continue

DAY 10
It's Friday - YIPEE! It was a very productive day. I went to work and finished some projects. I then went and had my cards read - Cartouche cards. First time for it - and very interesting. My gift today was for the spiritual advisor that I met. I payed her VERY well. She read for 2 hours and only charged me for one. I couldn't do it to her so I paid her for 2 hours - she resisted but I insisted. I felt good about and she was great - and my reading was great. I also played a game with my daughter… Continue

- Welcome to 29 Gifts! I'm so glad you decided to join us.
Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.
Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.
The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.
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.

So, kind of a slow week. It feels a little like cheating, but my gifts for Wed and Thurs were comments and acknowledgment of things that my husband and coworkers do/have done. My husband is.... not overly motivated when it comes to helping with ho...
Have you ever tried to buy a simple fedex t-shirt? Why would you, right?
Well, one of my sister's friends from Romania wanted one because his nickname is Fedex. If you want to know why, you have to take me out for coffee...it's a funny story that...
It seemed appropriate on the day after Thanksgiving, a day dedicated to giving thanks and eating, to donate to a charity that is committed to feeding hungry children. So my first day of giving was a donation to the 'We've Got Your Back' backpack p...
I give to charity as much as possible. Animals, Cancer Walks, Easter Seals whatever I can. This seemed to grab my attention because this isn't something I can just write a check or charge on my credit card, this is something I need to stop and thi...
Very nice suggestions, Dawn! Bravo!
I'm normally not a Black Friday shopper, but during my Thanksgiving visit with my Mom yesterday, she mentioned several things that she needs. So, today I was on a mission. I found a nightgown that was just what she wanted, but they didn't have her...
My mom and I were running errands today. We stopped by our friend at work just to say hi. I think she enjoyed the company and that we were thinking of her!
Beautiful.
Great gift to your girls! They'll be able to carry on your family Thanksgiving traditions!
It seems appropriate to start a cycle of giving the day after a holiday dedicated to giving thanks.
I read the article about 29 gifts in Body & Soul magazine over a month ago, and thought, "what a cool thing. I should do that." Then something shi...
While doing something nice for others, you are also doing an even more wonderful thing for yourself. Life IS good!
Thank you, Deb. I hope to get my hip x-rayed tomorrow - it has been unbearably painful for about 2 1/2 months. Once I get the x-rays, the next step is probably PT.
