Bless you! Lola loves you for being her angel. Peace and love!

Great going Stacey, thanks for inspiring me too. I read your blog post and sent a card to a solider too. I am going to pass it around. Good luck with giving, thanks again!

You have to take care and give to your own family! Those are some of the best gives even though family sometimes takes those for granted. Just remember, their worth it!!! Keep it up Simmi!!!
Thanks everyone for the heartfelt comments, I really really appreciate it. I got it, I need to find happiness in what I am doing and whatever I am contributing whether its my family, extended family or the strangers. Once again, thank you everyone :)
Giving... the gift of yourself... participating in life and being fully engaged in your giving.
Sounds like maybe a gift of affirming yourself is needed, and letting go of "not being enough" .
If someone else wrote the letter you wrote, what would y…
You are doing a fantastic job of giving Simmi! You were thinking of what you had to do but you were doing it! Gr8 gives! Have a wonderful day :o)
I see so much giving here - it seems you do these things so naturally they seem everyday to you. I wonder if you've reread what you wrote. I often find that it's not until I sit down and write about these things that I notice how much I've accomplis…
Hi everyone,

Day 23 - 29th.......Life changing
Last 6 days of my giving challenge, I wanted to do so much but still couldn't do it all. Giving to family, extended family, animals, some strangers and a few friends that's all I could do......what I learnt from my 29 days of giving is that giving can't be for 29 days or 30 days so it has to be there always, we need to have compassion in our hearts, sympathy and empathy for others, (one and all) all living beings. What I am most proud of is rescuing a sweet dog name Lola from an extremely abusiv… Continue

Day 16 through 22........very very satisfying
Day 16th: gave the day to mother-in-law, visited her in the rehab and spent several hours with her. Day 17th with my girls as I am planning to give day 18th through 20th to us (me and my husband) we haven't spent time away from family for several years now. We took a little trip to Chicago and Saturday through Monday there, it was awesome. Got back Monday night and paid a visit to my mother-in-law in the rehab. Tuesday, day 21st was for the girls.....went and watched New Moon with them and had a… Continue

Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.
Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.
The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.
Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

I have decided that giving is going to be my way of life. The joy is so overwhelming. And what I have been getting back just blows me away. If I could describe the biggest change that has occurred in my life in less than 2 weeks of giving, I would s…
Glad to hear you doing this. We need to take care of ourselves as well as others or it doesn't work. Hope you are rested and headache free soon.
There's something special about giving like this - and you never know when the chance will come. What a lovely gift.
Sending prayers for your friend and for you. May he soon be well and home!
My mother and I were invited to her brother's house today for Christmas dinner. I am not in the habit of taking a gift for the hostess and we had been told not to bring anything, but I decided this would be my big give for the day. I stopped at Food…
My day started early with breakfast with a good friend. I gave her Christmas gift to her, an herb keeper. During the summer I would bring her herbs from my garden in a ziploc, but found a very cool herb keeper that holds them upright in a small amou…

Rec'd quality time with these friends today.

Glad you had such a beautiful day with your friend and your dog and the quiet solitude. You deserve many such days. love from Pauline
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!
Today was a good 'mindful' day. I tried really, really hard to stay connected to all humans, nature, God etc.... First I took our yellow lab for a nice long walk (he LOVES his walks). The sky was overcast and grey and I really relished the quiet and…
Wow - great first day! Wait unitl you see how this challenge transforms you.
Harriet, this is beautiful. You are sharing your faith in God. I like that your love (as well as your daughter's love by her mission work) is being "sent around the world." As the crosses are sentimental to you, you must have received word from God…
Wow!! Running 12 miles is such an awesome thing to do!! So glad your son did not have cancer. Wonderful give Jeannine.
