Well, I lost track of where I was in round two, which is to say, I wasn't doing a very good job of self-care!
I recently had a reading with Mbali. I was very frazzled going into it. Had a lot going on in several directions. Then the house phone sta…
Wow what an incredible photo!!!
Last night I was going through the "junk" drawer looking for an antacid - another thing too many of us need this time of year:) and I came across a gift certificate for a full auto showroom detaining that expires in January.
There is NO way - I wil…

Last night I was browsing my People magazine, and low and behold I saw "29gifts" book in the giving section idea. I was so ex…
Today I was provided the opportunity to give a lady with diabetes information how to be absolutely cured of diabetes.
I was also given the opportunity to help an elderly lady with cramps in her calves.
I gave my friend some movies that I had taped f…
Very nice gift. I haven't been on the site much since I fnished my 29 days at the end of November. I am finally getting around to reading Cammie's book and reading it this morning made me want to come back to see what givers are giving. Yours was th…
Animals give us SO much, its nice when we can give back to them. Thanks for sharing today. ~Peace and JOY
What a great idea Wendy Jo! I've booked marked the site and plan to spend part of my afternoon sending cards -- thanks for cluing me in to a monetary give that is free for me! :-) I'm also a big believer in arts in schools and my mom was a music tea…
Gabrielle, you learned so much today, about yourself and about how life works. Honesty with yourself is the finest gift you can give and to learn that your happiness (or lack) is in your own hands is priceless. Choose happiness and the Universe will…
Elly Rose, What fun to get caught up with you. I have a Mother in laws tongue that is probably 30 yrs old and was a gift from my mother in law. I was lucky too and my Mother in law was very nice to me. Jan. 11th is my birthday, good way to start my…
Oh boy, what a day. This giving challenge has given me, not only an awareness of what I give through the day, or how much other people give, but how much giving brings you into the present. How it forces you to LIVE every day, rather than only being…
This is pretty cool - Fidelity Investments is donating $1 for every FREE holiday e-card you send. This money goes to buy musical instruments for children in public schools. As a big believer in the arts, I think this rocks!! Here is the web link if…

I just finished reading Eat Pray Love ... not sure if I'm finished discussing it yet though.
And today I started The Shack by WM. Paul Young. It was so highly recommmended by the others on this site. I went to the library to check it out and there was 50 holds on the book ... so I decided to just go out and buy a copy rather than be number 51 on the list at the library to read this. I just started today and it's been great. Have you read it? I'm sure there'll be some discussion on it over in the book club.
Welcome! I just joined today and I noticed that you're from Pleasanton which is where I grew up and where my parents still live...
Have fun giving!

Hooray for turning your passion to action. I think that's one of the keys to happiness.
Really happy you decided to join us here. I've had an amazing experience myself. And hope you do as well.
Good giving.
Best,
Wako
