29-Day Giving Challenge

starting over with round two, day one

It's amazing. Life gets busy and hetic. I step away from this place, and soon it feels as if everything is out of control and falling apart. I turn back to this place to get centered, to find order in the chaos. If only I didn't get "too busy" for this place to start with. think of all the hassle I could avoid.

Starting round two over again. Day one.

I have an online friend that lives in Brussels. Her father is very ill and not expected to live much longer. He lives in Spain. She wants to go visit him but was concerned about having the money she needed for the trip. I offered to give her some money. It's not much, but I was willing to give what I could as a gift. No expectations. In the meantime, she recieved some money that was due her and it is enough for her needs. She thanked me for my intentions. So even though my original intended gift of money didn't work out, the gift of my love for my friend was recieved and cherished.
