Wendy Murwin posted a blog postMissing in Action
I have been missing in action for awhile. I miss checking in everyday as it really made a difference in my life. Anyway - spent 3.5 hours with a good friend tonight doing lots of listening. It was nice to have 90% of the time about someone else. I miss my friend and really pray for her happiness. See More

Kristin Nelson commented on Wendy Murwin's blog post Day 27 - Giving to Myself"What a good one. I love a good cry. I always think the better I feel the more easily I am moved to tears. Being too numb to cry stinks! Said a prayer that all your tests are negative..."
Wendy Murwin commented on Dawn wwt's blog post Good Enough"Thank you so much for sharing this as it was an important reminder of what giving is really about."
Girl from Oz commented on Wendy Murwin's blog post Day 21 - Gift to the Chiropractor"I'm pretty sure you INSPIRED your Chiropractor to be even more detailed with you each and every time she see's you!! It's a win-win!"
Wendy Murwin posted a blog postDay 21 - Gift to the Chiropractor
Part of the reason I started this challenge at the suggestion of my sister was to focus my energy on others and to learn to accept/receive the gifts in front of me. I started seeing a chiropractor as nothing else at this point seems to address or touch my medical mysteries. I had seen her once before and I made a point to let her know that her attention to details has really mentally helped me. I also focused my effort on getting some things done around the house since I was off today. I was…See More

Wendy Murwin commented on llgarrity's blog post Let down"In regards to women sabotaging themselves. In all honesty, sometimes, but not always. I believe we all need to fight until it's over...sometimes that's what we forget. In uncertain times, people are very unpredictable. But now that the…"
Wendy Murwin commented on Wendy Murwin's blog post Day 17 - Suprises"It was a hodge podge for sure. Sometimes I feel very guilty when the gifts seem to be coming my way. I guess that the willingness to receive part."
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I have had (1) year + of "mystery" symptomolgy and no answers. I was doing great and now some things have returned with no answers. I found the book inspirational and focusing on giving a way to not think only of myself.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- The gift of an answer. If not that, the resource to seek out alternate options that are not covered by my insurance -- this being one of them. Massage, natural medicine, etc. I would also like to receive the gift of support and give that support to others. Some peace of mind wouldn't be bad either (smile)
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- My sister sent me the book and just finished reading
- About me:
- I am (48) year old female working in juvenile corrections currently as a training officer. I enjoy gardening,(although I am a black thumb) a yoga beginner, and love to cook. I love a good glass of wine with some excellent food. And let's be honest - I am afraid of being alone. I love to travel -- San Francisco, Napa Valley, Spain and Mexico - these are my favorite retreats.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

Day 29 - Gift for the Our Tax Man
Posted on February 6, 2010 at 2:56pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Richard got his taxes done and our tax man, with a big smile, said "well what you have to pay this year is MUCH less than last year. Hmmmm - when he turned the screen we discovered a $7000.00 refund! And since I decided to do mine online and missed a tax credit -- Dana (our tax man) said bring my return in about (3) weeks from now and he will do an amendment "no charge". Wow! Dana loves White Zinfendal wine and so I got him a very nice bottle with a fun lable that I knew he will enjoy!! When I… Continue
Day 28 - Gift for the Waiter
Posted on February 6, 2010 at 2:54pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Tonight we treated ourselves to dinner at our favorite restaurant since someone gave us this great coupon deal (which they rarely do). Having been a waitress, I know that it's sometimes tough when there are coupons running and people only tip off the total. Our waiter, as always, was fantastic and the food delicious! I was leaving the tip so left an extra $10 on the tip!
Day 27 - Giving to Myself
Posted on January 31, 2010 at 2:00pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I have read other blogs like this, so I don't feel too guilty. I was the recipient of my gift today. A good cry! Another test negative and now I truly am starting to think I am imaging things. So a good cry was my gift to self. I find being able to focus on giving to others in big or small ways always one to refocus on what's important. However, I find that I, too, am important. Today was a day I couldn't hold it in anymore -- my frustration, fear and uncertainness. But suprisingly after that… Continue
