Day 3 of my 29 Gifts Challenge

Today's challenge didn't involve money, but it was of giving my time to my neighbor. My neighbor knocked on my door early this afternoon, said that her "caregiver" was ill and she had a doctor appointment. She didn't want to cancel because it had to do with results of her CAT scan. Without even thinking I said I would be more then happy to drive her to her appointment. She was elated and off we went. During the entire drive to the doctor, I just listened as she talked. Sometimes just listening…See More

Day 1 of my 29 Giving Challenge

So today I started my 29 day Giving Challenge, and I was inspired this morning while sipping my much needed coffee.Awhile back I liked a Facebook page for Green Bean Coffee and I did so because of the good deed they do for our servicemen and women. Through them you can sponsor either 1 service member, 3 troops, 5 troops or 30 troops and buy them a "Cup of Joe".Thanks to my morning ritual of coffee drinking I am finally giving something that I've been wanting to do since I liked the page. To be…See More

I'm a new business owner that creates jewelry pieces. I have been struggling to find me again after a diagnosis of Heart Disease and two surgeries. I am a forward thinking person and work hard at self empowerment daily. I still work a regular office job on top of all of that, actually the hours are extremely long..sometimes 14-16 hour days.


Life has been good to me and then it has not been good to me but I always do my best to make something positive happen.

Day 7 of my 29 Gifts Challenge

Posted on April 1, 2012 at 12:08pm 2 Comments

For those that don't know, I make hand made jewelry. It started out as a hobby, giving them as gifts to friends. Well it's grown quite a bit and I've been doing this now as a part time business.



Today, my gift was to give away one of my pieces, a bracelet. The person that received it was so excited! Gosh I love making people smile!

In return, I sold two more bracelets today, I think that's good Karma!…

Posted on April 1, 2012 at 12:02pm 2 Comments

Saturday was my 6th day for my challenge....My next door neighbor was trying to take out her garbage. She could barely lift the bag. I will admit it was a pretty big bag too! I was taking out my bag to the trash and took the bag and took it to the trash with me...This is the same neighbor that was diagnosed with MS that I took to the doctor last week....

Catch up on my 29 Days...Here is Day 5 of 29 Gifts

Day 5....This day was a strange day all put together but out of it I was able to give someone the gift of mowing their lawn. There is an elderly widow that lives several houses down from me and I was taking a walk to clear my head. There she was outside staring at her lawnmower. I asked if I could help her with something. She said if I could, she couldn't figure out how to start the "dang" thing as she put it lol...I showed her the mechanics of the lawnmower and then started it for her. She…
