Thank You!

Hi Everyone,Thank you so much to those of you who posted your inspiring remarks on my blog (FrockFiles.com) yesterday. In fact, almost all the comments were from 29 Gifts members, and I think it's because the other readers aren't in the habit of giving gifts. Hopefully they're thinking about it now that you've shown them some great examples.I just wanted to let you know that I've written a new post, entitled, "19 Gifts That Cost Little to Nothing" and I'd love to hear about the gifts you're…See More

Give a Gift, Get a Gift

Hi Everyone,Last week, a friend told me about how she was in the queue at a drive thru Starbucks when, lo and behold, she pulled up to the window and learned that the car ahead had paid for her drink. This random act of kindness reminded me about 29 Days of Giving, and inspired me to encourage my blog readers to give gifts this week.I'm asking readers to let me know about the gifts they give throughout the week, and to let me know about them. My hope is that their gifts will inspire others to…See More

Fell off the wagon -- Day 1

Yikes, talk about falling off the wagon! I neglected my gift giving and as a result I'm feeling crabby again. Let's start over. Today's gift: an email to my oldest friend in London who I've been really bad about keeping in touch with the past couple of months. I miss her.

"Yes, yes, I completely understand! In my effort to get outside myself and stop being judgmental toward myself and others, I've been reading 12 Steps to a Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong -- it's so helpful. If you should find yourself…"

"I love this idea! Mail is such a wonderful way of letting someone know you took time to think about them."

"Nice to hear you sounding so much stronger. Great gifts for everyone. Thanks for the reminder to stay alert to other people's moods and attitudes and that a smile can turn a frown upside down!"

Days 5 -7 -- Friendship

Sunday was day 5, and I had most of the day to myself. I usually work on Sundays, and I generally find that when I'm feeling completely unmotivated, it helps to be among people, so I took myself to Starbucks. Although I had a rather unpleasant interaction with the barista, the cashier was as friendly as ever, and I gave him an extra big tip for his help. On Monday, day 6, I got a text message from my best girlfriend saying, "Are you on gchat??? Hope hope hope!" So I got online immediately and…See More

"Deb - thank you for always leaving such positive comments -- and hugs to you too! By "here" I meant the city I live in, but YES, good friendships here on the website as well. Have a wonderful Sunday, and may many great things come your way."

Day 4 -- Sweet Morning

Yesterday, I had brunch with friends, but before going to meet with them I had to stop at the ATM. My bank is right next to a bakery that makes fabulous pastries, so I stopped there beforehand and bought them several of my favorite cookies. I put the cookies in a pretty little cherry blossom print gift bag and presented them while we waited for our table at a cafe next door. "Why are you giving us a present?" they asked. I told them it was because I was at the bakery and thought of them. They…See More

Day 3 -- Samples!

Day three, and things seem to be making more sense for me, falling into place. Despite continuing to feel off balance, I'm continuing to look at my life as though I'm looking back on it. This is not the end of the world. It's actually starting to feel like a beginning. It feels silly to write about what I'm going to write about, but here it is: skin care. Since I was 13 years old, I've been battling my skin. One of my best friends recommended a skincare line, but warned me that it wasn't…See More

Day 2 -- Catharsis

Somehow, I got through yesterday without any tears. Part of it was that I had this goal -- to get those gifts out in the mail on time -- and my day centered around that. Last night, in bed, I kept my thoughts on the next gifts. I've also been thinking about the gift that I can give myself: to do things that make me happy. After moving here, I stopped taking dance classes. I've committed to enrolling in one in the upcoming week. Today, my gift will be donating the clothes I've had sitting in my…See More
