GREAT BOOK GIVEAWAY: Life Safari by John P. Strelecky - UPDATE - all entrants will win!
Every day of my 29 days of giving (now on cycle 2) adds a beautiful breath and step to my spiritual journey, so I like that Life Safari is a book about journeying. Seems appropriate! Namaste.

Giving and gratitude is my Eskimo these days...help for when I need guidance to see the right path of life. It is really helping me stay present. http://theflamingoroom.blogspot.com/2009/11/eskimo.html
Thought you might enjoy a story from years ago about the gift of a shared meal and lessons in cultural understanding. My second 29 day cycle is sputtering a bit. This story is bringing my focus back to connection with others (including keeping a s...
My thought is that empathy is a zipline out of the jungle of sorrow. 29 Gifts is keeping my dial turned toward compassion,w hich is helping me in the marathon of grief with so many friends dealing with terrible loss and sadness and challeging illn...
Cycle 2 of the 29 Gifts is going a little rougher as life's pressures conspire to jangle my nerves and divert my focus from gratitude and abundance. Isn't it nice when old friends re-enter your life and remind you of your best self? I'm reminded t...

Very enlightening :o)
The thing I appreciate most about the 29 Gifts is that it keeps my spiritual channel tuned into gratitude. Giving only hones the reception. Even when outside circumstances seem challenging, we're still in charge of our inner remote -

Dear Harriet and Paula,
Thank you for the affirmation I needed. I did meditative breathing and gave myself a chance to read. Makes a difference for sure!
Thanks!

yes, yes, yes! by all means give to yourself today -- as you pointed out it is important to remember to refill the well! I hope you found a wonderful 'oasis' in which to build your mental/emotional 'fort' and relax into that lovely child place tha...
Julie - what a terrible experience for you! Yes, that is my thought too - as adults, it is our responsibility to respond. I believe this woman is feeling outcast by the grown-up cliques, but, really, she needs to model for the children how to stic...
I have lots of thoughts on this too, but I will (try to) keep it brief. When I was in Junior High School (age 12-13) I was brutally bullied by a group of 5-7 girls for 2 solid years. Every day. And many days throughout the summer. It was/is a smal...
It's funny (meaning weird) what we are up against when we're trying to create a better, more giving, more open, more gracious and peaceful world. This letter to the editor brought it home for me today. I have a bunch of thoughts and responses (hin...
Dawn! We are friends with a 3 star chef and his sous chef. We brought the trotters to them, and they worked on them, creating a special little dish for a dinner with friends and clients last night! (And,f or the record, you never would have known ...
I'm nearing the end of my first 29 day cycle. Feeling a little sludgy and ineffective. This poem reminds me that there are still things we can do. Our giving makes us the "dim glow of light" for others who need hope and help. http://theflamingoroo...

The Goose Is Cooked
Thought you might enjoy a story from years ago about the gift of a shared meal and lessons in cultural understanding. My second 29 day cycle is sputtering a bit. This story is bringing my focus back to connection with others (including keeping a sense of humor). http://theflamingoroom.blogspot.com/2009/11/goose-is-cooked.html

Your inner pilot light
Cycle 2 of the 29 Gifts is going a little rougher as life's pressures conspire to jangle my nerves and divert my focus from gratitude and abundance. Isn't it nice when old friends re-enter your life and remind you of your best self? I'm reminded that our brightest light is just one silly memory away! http://theflamingoroom.blogspot.com/2009/11/pilot-light.html
