Your Mandala are stunningly beautiful! Each unique in color and design, each evoking a different feeling. What a blessing to be able to receive such a gift as these note cards to share with others, choosing the card mandala to…

A beautiful and inspiring feast for the eyes and the soul! The gentle colors move me to a place of joyful peace, and restoration. I too have a graddaughter who was 5 on 6/30/10, who loves to color, paint and create. …

As we race through life we tend to become complacent and unaware of the needs and sufferings of other people, and slowly, slowly, it's as if our hearts become cold and hard.........stone like. This rock would be a constant…

The story about the purse is wonderful. The unexpected gifts and kindnesses are truly the best! Blessings to you and your family and have a joyous day =o)
Allesvenn commented on Rachel Melcher's blog post 'Day Three: Community Books'
I loved your give! How right you are in saying that books can have a great impact on one's life. In an environment bordering o n poverty (your words) books can be a source of inspiration and encouragement , the first step to a better life. And…
Paula Swenson commented on Allesvenn's blog post 'Out on a Limb?'
Definitely a give... whatever the outcome, the intention was a BIG GIVE. Following your heart and instincts is rarely wrong, especially if you give it a bit of time, and consideration and still feel it so strongly.
Harriet commented on Allesvenn's blog post 'Out on a Limb?'
i think it is a great give to call the police and give them information. maybe it will help their investigation and you did what you felt led to do.
Dawn wwt commented on Allesvenn's blog post 'Out on a Limb?'
i do think that calling the police and telling them about your "vision" was a give. i am impressed that you were willing to risk being dismissed. as with any give, what they do with it is their responsibility. perhaps it will help to…

Harriet commented on Allesvenn's blog post 'Giving is Receiving'
you are very kind, what a wonderful day of encouragement!
Joyce Kirby commented on Allesvenn's blog post 'Giving is Receiving'
You are so right. In a crisis encouraging words can mean the world to us.
Giving is Receiving
Today I gave encouragement to five different people, and it felt so good to be able to reach out and touch them in their own moment of need. Isn't that what it means to be human? The problem is that we get so busy and so caught up in our own lives and problems that there isn't time or energy left over to notice that all around us there are people who are hurting. Some of them are truly desperate and in need . Now we may not have the financial resources to help in a material way, but whatever…See More

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I am a 68 yr old woman who unexpectedly received a beautiful blue purse from a total stranger at our local Whole Foods store, just because I commented that I loved her purse and wanted to know where she bought it.! I did not know about this group until a friend told me about it. I want to pass the blessing on.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I would most like to receive the awareness that I had been able to bless and impact the receiver to the degree that I had been impacted by receiving my beautiful blue purse from Amy.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Please see Why I'm choosing to give above
- About me:
- I am a 68 yr. old woman, married 38 yrs. The past 27 yrs I've been required by circumstances to be the financial provider for a family of 5, now reduced to 3, including a husband with serious health problems and a 37 yr old son with type 1 diabetes since childhood and bipolar disorder. It's been demanding and exhausting and discouraging, but my faith sustains me.

Out on a Limb?
Posted on October 24, 2009 at 8:02pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I've lost track of which day this is of the 29 days, which suits me fine as I plan to just make this a permanent on-going way of life from now on. But here is where I'm going to go out on a limb, so to speak and tell about an experience I had that I'm going to count as a give. I wonder if anyone else will understand and/or agree as to whether it was actually a give or not: This morning I heard on TV about a murder in another part of the country. I forgot about it until later when I was brushing… Continue

It's Saturday evening, and I am just home from church. I asked the Lord to lead me to His choice to receive my bracelet, since my desire to give it away at church last Saturday hadn't worked out. When a young woman sat next to me, I felt she might be the one, and as the service progressed, I became more sure. She had beautiful eyes, but she had the look of someone who was in shock, and I kept having the impression that she had trust issues. At the end of the service (I had already taken the… Continue
29 Days- My Journeys
Posted on October 16, 2009 at 9:51pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I think this is day 8 for me. Day 1 was an easy give: My husband and I went out for lunch to a favorite restaurant. Our waitress was noticeably prompt, efficient, helpful and courteous with us and others I noticed, and so I gave her a tip of almost 50% of the bill total along with a note that she was awesome, and thanked her for excellent service. Day 2 I sat next to a young girl in church, and noticed that she was wearing several bracelets on each wrist. I felt led to give IV her a bracelet I… Continue
