"I read a quote the other day that said, "When God removes precious things from your arms, it's not to punish you.  It's to make room for more."  It gave a whole new spin on my thinking. I hope it helps ease a little…"

Catastrophe

I am probably on the verge of losing my best friend, my rent's gone up unexpectedly, my parents need me to help with the bills at home, my salary will definitely NOT increase for the 3rd year running and yet I am so at peace...Don't get me wrong, at the moment my friend issue is bugging the crap out of me - I don't even know HOW to feel. I miss her and I am angry at her. I am hoping that I somehow get a miraculous windfall.I am still giving mini-gifts - nothing earth-shattering.The days between…See More

"Powerful post... you're honesty and manipulation of words has me saying, "yes", "yes", "YES" to everything you say. We have all gone through or are going through this exact thought process and to relate is to bring…"

"Don't be too hard on yourself Sarah...the fact that you are aware of your giving/taking/hurting/healing shows what a blessing you are to the world...now you just have to realise how much of a blessing you are to yourself. Lots of love..."

"You really put into words the feelings I've had lately about my own self. Thank you for sharing! It's nice to have it verbalized so the child in me can thrive a little better too. XXOO"

Today I feel as if I am back on track :-) Although giving still requires thought and effort, it is an absolute pleasure and a true blessing. At the start of this challenge I struggled to find things to be grateful for and now I can see so MUCH to be grateful for. I am really reconnecting with my inner child. She was really a wonderful person, she wouldn't think, say or do anything to hurt another soul and then I came along and changed all that - I allowed all my hurts, disappointments and…See More

Today, I am struggling to remain positive and gracious and I had such a blessed few days. I feel like the greatest fake on the planet. How can I presume to 'give' to another when my soul is so sparce and arid...ok, so maybe that's a bit melodramatic, but I feel like a snowflake today (and in Cape Town, during late November, a snowflake is deader than a doornail on National Dead Doornail Day) I feel limp and wimpy.I spent the past weekend with my family in Paarl - it was glorious. I went to the…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I have reached a point in my life where I feel stunted. My life is stagnant and I don't know how to wake my soul. I want to FEEL again. I can't remember when last I felt ALIVE without alcohol or falling in love (infatuation, probably). I am desperately searching to be the meaning in my life. I want my nerves to come alive with feeling...
What I'd most like to receive:
Purpose
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I heard about it from a woman in my yoga class
About me:
I have just turned 31 and I feel inconsequential and dispensable. My dreams feel too grand to realise and I feel unworthy of the realisation. I want to make a difference in the world, and I want to break this meaningless cycle I find myself in. I am existing and I want to LIVE

Yes

10 Nov 2010 - day 1

Yesterday I planned to help a teenager with her project for school - feeling very proud of myself for already PLANNING a gift for yesterday, I proceeded to spend my day in ungift mode (because I'd already planned a gift for later). As it happened, the teenager could not meet me last night and I did not give the intended gift. My first lesson during my gift experience is not to plan too much (this has been a hindrance in my life too) so this morning I began my day being a little kinder than usual (driving with an open soul; giving way to more than just ONE person) and at work I watered the plants and had a quick natter with them. So wish me luck for today - no plans for gifts, but my heart is open to give :-) May God bless all of you

My flatmate is about to move to Johannesburg and I need to find a new one.
For the past two weeks, we have not been able to grab a hold of each other, just to chat and figure out how her move will work (most of the furniture in the flat is hers) and I need to figure out where and how I am going to source new furniture - lol notice I typed 'source' not 'buy' hee hee - my mum seems to think the source of my 'source' is at her house ;-) My dad doesn't 'think so, he knows'…
