Day 9
I was tired and forgot to blog Day 9 yesterday. I gave a friend, who is going to Hawaii, a necklace I made. It's a golden shell. I made the shell, and I loved it! When I heard she was going to Hawaii, I knew who would own this shell!

Day 6
Today I sent a friend a handmade, lampwork heart that I made. I still don't know how I feel.

Day 4
I've already taken 4 steps on this journey. Today, the water issues were resolved, but I had appointments to keep that I canceled yesterday. As I ran from appointment to appointment, I had precious little time to reflect on what I felt about giving, that is, until, it was time for my acupuncture appointment. As I lay there with 12 needles in my body, I thought of how blessed I was to be able to afford this treatment and to still be able to give, not from my want, but from my excess. On the way…See More

Barbara Oeffner said… - Welcome to the giving challenge. I completed one cycle last month. It felt so good to give on a daily basis. It was two-fold for me: a realization that I give certain things anyway, but that sometimes the intangible ones--like a nice compliment, or a smile, or a cheerful joke I forget to give. It sounds like you're off to a running start!

Day 13

I'm catching up here. On Day 13, I called a friend who really needed to talk. I gave her about an hour of my time. I am beginning to realize that when I give something physical, I am giving of my abundance. When I give of my time, I am giving from my need.
Day 12

I had water in my basement last week. As a result, I'm being forced to clean out some of the boxes that were wet. Today, I cleaned out some of my Christmas items. I took 3 bags full of Christmas items to the thrift store. I am ashamed to say that I found 2 boxes of ornaments that hadn't been opened yet. I'm still giving out of great abundance. It's really made me how much I have. I need to reduce what I have.
Day 11

I actually did something I don't normally do. I received a very nice forward from a friend, and I passed it on. I honestly took the time to do that. It was very touching, and I thought there were others out there who would like it.
I am learning, though, that what I am giving, I am giving out of abundance. I am so blessed!
