"sorry 7heaven, my long missive was for my blog--I am still a novice at this. I meant to then comment to you--just let go of the worry of restarting and gradually it will come--I still struggle with making it a conscious paart of my day. Best of luck"

How many of you have had to restart at day 1?? I wish I could have moved forward consistently from day 1 because all my heart believes in this awareness of daily giving - BUT when I hit my first weekend I let life crowd this awareness out.I can honestly say I have been more aware each day of giving and the gifts have come right back to me, but again not consistent.I am restarting Round 1 - Day 1 today and am grateful for this self-acceptance to do better and be a better giving person!
