Sweet of you to ask, Ruth, but at present we are in a "no purchases mode" I'll trust the universe on this, if she's still there when I have money again, she'll be mine :-) if not, it means someone else needed her even more. (But I am going to keep...

Five pennies
Last night my husband and I walked our dog Jack (actually, he usually walks us, but I'm working on that...) around the park for a total of 3 miles! I made a firm commitment to myself that I am going to walk every day to lose weight, get in shape and consistently train Jack.
So today, I got up early, threw on comfortable clothes and took Jack for our daily walk around the park. We live in an old, established neighborhood where my parents were among the first residents some 55 years ago. Walking… Continue

Days 2 & 3, Round 2: Unemployed 29Gifters, Homeless Cats, Island Calendars, and Loads of Candy
My gifts for yesterday and today (so far):
1. I'm continuing to read through as many 29Gift member profiles as I can and inviting those who are unemployed to a new group on 29 Gifts called Seeking Employment.
My hope is that recruiters, job seekers, and anyone wanting to help others find employment, join this group and work together to improve America's unemployment rate. We can also help each other with resumes, cover lette… Continue

Day 1, Round 2: Today is all about 29 on October 29th on 29 Gifts
After completing and blogging my first round of giving with 29 Gifts, I became a volunteer and have put more effort into welcoming and encouraging other members than into my second round of giving. I still gave often, but stopped blogging my experiences.
I read a blog today where the new member decided to start the challenge today, since it's October 29th, hoping for good karma. So I'm doing the same and restarting my second round of giving and blogging for 29 days today.

A great give and receive kind of day
Today's winner of the Calligraphy set I donated for a 29Gifts raffle is Becky Erickson! Congrats, Becky! You are my big give for today.
A most wonderful give was sent to me remotely today from fellow 29Gifter and Reiki Master Franny. She had read my profile and saw that I was in need of chronic pain relief. Franny generously used her skills as a conduit to send healing my way. While I didn't receive instant pain relief (Franny said that can come over a couple of days), I definitely felt a warmi… Continue

A Gift for Cami
While reading a Glamour magazine at the eye doctor today, I noticed a contest for Woman of the Year. Naturally, I thought of our founder and new author, Cami Walker. Cami, my gift to you today was to nominate you for this very deserving title.
TODAY is the deadline for nominations, but if you hurry, you might get a chance to nominate Cami and/or another incredible woman you know before the day is over.

Good luck, Cami!… Continue

Kimberly Hile said… - Mary,
You sent me a gift, thank you so much. Can you explain how the "gifting" works? I noticed there is a charge for a gift, where does the money go? Thank you very much for the gift it made me smile and so did viewing your pictures of your animals. Aren't animals the greatest? I really don't think they take anything for granted and they are truly grateful for even the smallest things, I could learn a lot from them! Oh, and about your walking your dog Jack everyday, I have committed to getting on my yoga mat everyday. The way I do it is that if I don't feel like it I keep repeating "everyday, everyday" and then I spend some time on my mat. I have only missed one day in the last 3 weeks! Thanks again for the gift. With sincerity, Kimberly
