Adi's Giving Adventure 2012 - Day 3

All day I racked my brain to figure out what to give, and didn't come up with anything. Then, at midnight, my partner came home complaining of a headache and pain in her neck and upper back. My arthritis had been acting up, so my hands did not have much strength and were in a considerable amount of pain, but I saw it as a moment to be generous, so I lightly massaged my partner's neck, occipital ridge and TMJ. I concentrated on sending as much love through my hands as I could muster. I couldn't…See More

Adi's Giving Adventure 2012 - Day 1 & 2

DAY 1Today I gave by donating $5 to a 10-year-old girl who has brain damage from a buildup of too much bilirubin (causes jaundice) when she was an infant. It's called Kernicterus and it means she's stuck in a body that she has almost no control over. Her sisters are raising funds for her to get surgies that will help her be more independent. Being that I have my own very expensive medical bills and so could not donate much, I also donate my time, energy and personal cyber-space by creating what…See More

I'm Back! I haven't even given yet, but I'm too excited to not post a blog now!

I've been gone for at least a year because I got too sick to tolerate being near the computer. It was a tough year. I wanted to be able to do things I could not do, like leave the house, like continue my 29 Gifts journey, but it was necessary to let it fall by the wayside. Well, I'm so happy to be back!Today is my first day of giving. I haven't the slightest idea what I will give or, being that I am stuck in this one room now (due to severe MCS, my new nickname is BubbleBoy), how I'm going to…See More

What I'd most like to receive:

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
http://o-my-goodness.livejournal.com/tag/29-day%20giving%20challenge
About me:
I used to teach peaceful conflict resolution in public school, then I used those skills when I became a preschool teacher. I currently am too sick to work due to Late Stage Lyme disease, so spend a lot of time cooking for my wonderful partner who supports us all by herself, do what I can to be emotionally supportive of others who suffer from Lyme disease and can't get treated, and recently started a group for the cause of increasing and cultivating compassion in our society. This site and project and community complements that last project of mine perfectly, for to cultivate generosity is to cultivate compassion!
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes
