Well, okay. Here it goes.
This morning we had some family photos done. We've been going to the same photographer for years. Instead of just thanking her at the end of the session, I made a point to tell her how much we love her work and how we tr...
Something helpful I learned along the way was to honestly examine my motives in whatever I was doing...this always helps me look at my part of the interaction in a relationship. Am I trying to get attention, control, validation? If my motive are p...
Friday mainly consisted of giving clicks, calls to check on a lonely friend, and a ride home for a friend who called and needed a ride. Saturday I called a friend who has MS to check on her. She lives about 3 hours away so haven't seen her since M...
My friend is a comedian and he does a very late show and not a lot of people show up and I went to support him and went to another show he did at another venue. I don't have a car so sometimes I can talk myself out of going places because "it's to...
Thanks for your positive impression of Kiva.org. I've seen several people mention Kiva so I'm getting inspired to go out there myself and make a micro-loan. Giving to help women in third world countries build their business and support their famil...
I haven't been blogging, but I haven't quit the challenge either. I am fighting the pain in my hips as well as a cold, so I have been remiss in my recording my giving experiences. Today's blog is more of a list:

I agree with a prevous post discussing the true meaning of giving . Is it acts that we do every day and would be doing anyway or is true giving defined as something we do above and beyond . The more I think about this the more I think it is all ab...
I can relate to this, as my Grandpa, father, uncles and son are alcoholic. It was the one thing I avoided when getting married, because I didn't want to be around it any more. My prayers are with you.
It is in times like these, that you find out what you are made of. I have the feeling you are going to be amazed by how powerful you feel one year from now. Doing what scares us, is sooooo liberating. I went on a solo vacation through the Canadian...
Today I gave sent out all my Christmas cards ....spent a couple hours yesterday writing in them and addressing them and today mailed them out....these days when so many people send out one big email to everyone as their Christmas card , I still li...
You are such a wonderful person, Ruth. We are only related by marriage, but I fel your good energy!
Today my husband Andrew, who has been sick for a few days, offered to do the food shopping. Usually I go, but occasionally he offers or is recruited. I told him I would go since he still wasn't feeling great. I decided to pick up a 3- pack of Barb...

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!
Mary
