Day 1: Will the Beautiful Women of the World Please Stand Up!
I believe that the things you need come to you when you need them the most, and Cami's "29-Day Giving Challenge" is no exception.
A year ago my family's life was turned upside down. Two days before Christmas my partner went into work and was told that his job was gone. A few weeks later I got the same news. Like so very many other families, we continue to face the challenges of an economy that collapsed and left many of us wondering how our lives could change so drastically -- and so une… Continue

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- It's instinctive and already a part of my daily life. I love the discipline of re-committing through the 29-day program, and am looking forward to sharing it.
Much of my current giving is in the form of social investing through http://Kiva.org http://Givology.org http://Vittana.org and hands-on action through http://www.change.org/profiles/suebraiden
Looking forward to this new way of giving through 29 days and beyond.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Simplicity. A greater sense of connectedness. A path to the right life : )

Paul, this is such a touching truth!
I appreciated your warm welcome when I arrived, and I'm grateful for this lovely reminder of something that matters.
Namaste,

Harriet, this is just a brilliant gift! When I first moved to where I live in now, a lovely woman came to my door with a cake to welcome me to the neighbourhood, along with a lovely, handwritten letter, words of encouragement and her phone number tu…

Congratulations on the baby step, Marlene. It's a big one!
I see that you've read Marianne Williamson. One of her passages from "A Return to Love" has inspired my own road to conquering the urge to be reclusive and hide. I'm willing to bet you've r…

I recently had a reading with Mbali. I was very frazzled going into it. Had a lot going on in several directions. Then the house phone sta…
Wow what an incredible photo!!!
Last night I was going through the "junk" drawer looking for an antacid - another thing too many of us need this time of year:) and I came across a gift certificate for a full auto showroom detaining that expires in January.

Gabrielle, you learned so much today, about yourself and about how life works. Honesty with yourself is the finest gift you can give and to learn that your happiness (or lack) is in your own hands is priceless. Choose happiness and the Universe will…
Elly Rose, What fun to get caught up with you. I have a Mother in laws tongue that is probably 30 yrs old and was a gift from my mother in law. I was lucky too and my Mother in law was very nice to me. Jan. 11th is my birthday, good way to start my…
Oh boy, what a day. This giving challenge has given me, not only an awareness of what I give through the day, or how much other people give, but how much giving brings you into the present. How it forces you to LIVE every day, rather than only being…
This is pretty cool - Fidelity Investments is donating $1 for every FREE holiday e-card you send. This money goes to buy musical instruments for children in public schools. As a big believer in the arts, I think this rocks!! Here is the web link if…
