Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- To learn how to receive. I am very independent, although I have been battling MS for along time. I always thought it much easier to give than to receive and this does create an imbalance. As I read the book, I realize that one cannot go without the other.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Serenity.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- A Skype friend from Utah who saw Cami's interview on Today.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

I gave my producer a hard time; later, this proved to be a good thing, especially when she informed me actors don't need to memorize their lines for The Vagina Monologues. Then we realized I was miss...

There was a time when I would say, "If a person relies on tips to make her living, she'd better act like it." I won't lie and say that I'll never say that again. For my first day of giving, however, I decided to acknowledge someone who doesn't wor...

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
