Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I accidentally gave to my neighbor yesterday and I felt good about myself. I'd like to continue reaching out and connecting with more people. I also feel like I'm naturally a giving person, and I'd like to test whether or not that's true.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- In fantasy land, I would like to receive enough money that I won't have to worry about how to pay my bills. In real life, I just want to make the world a happier, more giving place.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Tavis Smiley Show
- About me:
- I'm a tap dancer and dance teacher and promotional model and assistant director of a youth dance company. I love knitting, baking, wine, and old movie musicals.

Day 4 - I gave my students my patience. I normally dread one of my classes on Thursday mornings. I approached the class with a positive attitude. I'm not sure if they were any better behaved for it, but I certainly felt better after class was over. Less stressed and less emotionally drained.
