Well I have been out of town so I need to remember what I did....... Day 3 - I cooked a pretty darn good Thanksgiving meal for my family. It was just the four of us this year (down from 10!) so I feel like it was a pretty big deal to make the big o…

Hi Lizzie, I am so sorry for your loss. The holiday seasons & all 'special' days are tough. Even after 20 years I still get tearful & sometimes cry during these times; although now I think the anticipation of the day is worse than the day, if that m…

Hi Lizzie, this is my third holiday season since my mom's death, and I agree a good cry helps, and I find it is usually followed by some nice memories with just a few sniffs here and there. I hope your memories give you peace and warmth this holiday…

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
This holiday season will be the second without my mom. She passed away May 8, 2008 from breast cancer.
What I'd most like to receive:
I hope to receive a holiday season that is a little easier then last year. Last year was really bad without my mom. Maybe this year the 29-day giving challenge will give me something else to think about.

Ahhh....

Haven't posted anything in about a week. I have been making a point to give everyday of either time, money, small gifts here and there - but I am in a total holiday funk and for some reason have not been able to get on and post. I tend to get lazy when I get like this. I know the holidays are a time for giving and I have been keeping it up every day but I can't WAIT until they are over!

So, not sure what day of round two this is but today I gave an AWESOME tip to my hair dresser / good friend.… Continue

Round 2 - days 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7

Well I have been out of town so I need to remember what I did.......

Day 3 - I cooked a pretty darn good Thanksgiving meal for my family. It was just the four of us this year (down from 10!) so I feel like it was a pretty big deal to make the big ol' turkey dinner. What I really wanted to to was go out.

Day 4 - gave my 8 year old a shoulder rub - she is always giving them to us so I returned the favor.

Day 5- I can't remember .... this is why I like to post everyday!

Day 6 - dropped off anot… Continue

I think your gift was your willingness to receive from your family. It sounds to me like your giving is wearing off on them - how loveloy!

How exciting to get your medicine necklace! I keep looking at that as a give to myself as well. I send prayers your way for your family - I'm sure your support of them during their time of need is a perfect gift!
