Day 1 Getting into the groove
The first thing I want to give is a thank you for this wonderful website and community. I've shared the word with my friends and look forward to making more friends here. When I joined, I didn't expect much out of this. Very soon, however, I saw the vibrant and creative ideas of what others have given, and realised that I'm in the midst of a buzz of positivity and goodwill. How special this is.
So far, I've given Andi a header image for his page, a hair wash, and a back rub. He's given me lots of cuddles. I also received a surprise artbook gift from an old-time friend that had Andi and me laughing through the day.

Comment by sharon on August 21, 2008 at 8:29am - How you do the program will reflect back to you very fast, you should see blessings now, you gave alot the 1st day! You already received one gift, and will be surprised, or maybe not, at the way your mind takes all this in and your energy changes! My soul feels very changed. I LOVE that you got your guy involved! Mine is a workaholic, if he would give it would be so rewarding for him, but I plant seeds and allow him to see my new developing spirit! sharon

Glad you had such a beautiful day with your friend and your dog and the quiet solitude. You deserve many such days. love from Pauline
I think your gift was your willingness to receive from your family. It sounds to me like your giving is wearing off on them - how loveloy!
How exciting to get your medicine necklace! I keep looking at that as a give to myself as well. I send prayers your way for your family - I'm sure your support of them during their time of need is a perfect gift!
Today was a good 'mindful' day. I tried really, really hard to stay connected to all humans, nature, God etc.... First I took our yellow lab for a nice long walk (he LOVES his walks). The sky was overcast and grey and I really relished the quiet and…
Wow - great first day! Wait unitl you see how this challenge transforms you.
Harriet, this is beautiful. You are sharing your faith in God. I like that your love (as well as your daughter's love by her mission work) is being "sent around the world." As the crosses are sentimental to you, you must have received word from God…

I nearly finished getting gifts wrapped this afternoon. I just have a few more items to take care of and maybe one more small item to buy before Christmas arrives. Then we have several January birthdays to think about...but I don't want to jump ahea…
This morning i almost started to focus on my husband's attitude but remembered that I had joined this group and I was to only think about giving. I helped my 8 year old son pour milk into his cereal. This is something i seldom do. I made my sister a…
Mbali, this is a very timely subject and the title drew me in immediately. Like, Erin, I too am struggling with an issue of forgiveness, which leaves me feeling anger and distrust of another I only know on the surface, but several things have happen…
"We are ALL doing the best we can with what we have been given", No one is born into this world wanting to be about hurting themselves or another, we just do sometimes. We all have learned from our teachers.. what IT (life/relationships/love/meaning…
