Tell Me Your Story...

Sounds to me like you have been giving right along with the recieving! Glad to hear you will be staying with us through more rounds!
Hi Libby
It certainly is a positive place! As a newcomer to this network, I have found it so refreshing to be reading posts that are not filled with the cynicism and hostility that often reduce online forums to smoldering flame wars.
All the best w…
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I feel that if you are nice and do good things for people, it will come back to you. It doesn't mean you'll get money for your good deed. You will get the reward of helping someone and there is no amount of money in the world that could replace that feeling.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- That all my prayers for my friends and family come into reality. I love them all so much and I want them to be happy.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Skirt Magazine
- About me:
- I live in Florida and I would love to help people get their voices heard. Everyone has a story but not everyone knows it and that is what I was put on this earth to do for these un-heard voices.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes!

A great compliment on my 29th day! R3-Day 29 (05/13/09)
I feel bad that I haven’t been gifting that much lately. I have been receiving gifts. The lady I interviewed that other day emailed my editor and told her how much she enjoyed me and how professional I was as well. My editor was very pleased. I know that journalism is what I’m supposed to do with my life. I love it with all my heart. I realized today is my 29th day of my third cycle. I will be back because this is too much fun and I love that fact that everyone is so positive. Please stay that w… Continue

Painting classes. R3-Day 28 (05/12/09)
Today I did my first interview for my internship. I met a lady named Patty and she owns a painting business. She holds in-home painting classes. We ended up talking more about our lives than the questions I needed to ask for the interview. By the time I left, she offered me a free class and I told her I would get her some names from the university to help her get into an art therapy program. We gifted each other. Interning is another great way for me to get my gifts done and meet new people. I t… Continue

Internship starts. R3-Day 27 (05/11/09)
Today I started my internship with The Osprey Observer. I was so nervous and they threw me right into the mix! I was assigned a ton of stories and I was cool with that. They sent me out to meet different people in the community and I loved it! I think I was the recipient of a gift with this internship.

Happy Mother's Day!! R3-Day 26 (0510/09)
Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends that are moms! I took my mom to the Tampa Bay History Museum that just opened. She had wanted to go for a long time. They have a little café inside the museum and we ate lunch overlooking Tampa Bay. It was a wonderful day! I also took my step-mom out for breakfast before church this morning as well. Both of my moms had a wonderful day! I hope all of you had a wonderful day as well!

Attended a workshop. R3-Day 25 (05/09/09)
Today I went to a writer’s workshop and I met some amazing people. I really didn’t give a physical gift, but I made some new friends. That’s a gift, right? I think so! I met one of the local newspaper reporters whose column I love and he even remembered me from emails I had sent him complementing him on his column. He was very nice and now we are even friends on Facebook. I love meeting and getting to know people. I love sharing stories about our interests and lives. I guess that’s just the jour… Continue

Colleen Friday said… - Hi Libby, you sure have a busy life and all set to do Round 3! Fantastic. Some time back you suggested I tell you something about South Africa. Are you still interested. I must warn you I may get quite carried away about this beautiful country.

Today's gift was a surprise. Plus it taught me how much I really do want to help others and create a positive experience.
My life has been a bit rough lately. Each day I try to wake up with a positive attitude and give the day my best. Today was re…
Today I'm giving away Hint Water. It's naturally flavored and contains no sugars and no artificial sweeteners. I tried it myself and was pleasantly impressed with the fruity lush taste. I'm always stressing the importance of water in your daily di…
How lovely this is, THANK YOU!!
Consider it done! Sending out affirmations 4 Matthew. It's nice to B an aunt, (I am one & love it) You sound like a wonderful caring aunt & Matthew is lucky 2 have U looking out for him. Be well!
That was a very nice treat & I'm sure she'll love it!
Thanks & {{{HUGS}}} 2 both of U. I still feel a little punky but it surely could be worse! & BTW she said the scarf was really toasty today in western PA! She also got many compliments!
Happy day ALL!. This afternoon I will make a pan of shortbread for my Art League meeting. They love Lorna Doones so I thought I'd treat them to the real thing. All the stuff is out on the counter waiting for me to finish a few looming work reports.…
We went way for a few days and I got off track.
I'll start over tomorrow--as soon as the suitcases are unpacked!
Wow Thursday already.
Today is day 1 of my second round of giving...
My gift for today was to bring some of Charlie's old toys, clothes, and stuffed animals to the church nearby that accepts donations of items like that. It feels good to know someo…
Mine is a story of resistance. I read Cami’s story in Yoga Journal and felt drawn to it, yet dragged my feet to commit. I came up with dozens of reasons why I shouldn’t do it; thanksgiving, my son’s b-day, the upcoming Christmas holidays, starting u…
I realized halfway through the day I hadn't given anything or even thought about it. I gave my Weight Watchers treat to a young woman in my office who told me her mom was on Weight Watchers. I thought she might not know about these terrific "1 point…
Well, it may be all due to global warming, which is a decidedly bad thing, but I've never gotten so much conversational mileage out of unseasonably cold weather. Everyone from the parking valet guy when I went to grab a quick lunch at Baja Fresh (he…
If i win this lovely compact I plan to gift it to my niece who is expecting her first baby. She needs to be reminded, as we all do, that she is beautiful! Thank you. Linda
