Ann commented on Sabrina's blog post Day 2 March 22nd"I agree - planning is okay - so is giving of your abundance. You have something you neither want nor need and someone else would enjoy it/use it -why not."
"Wow! That is a biggie. How thoughtful of you!"
Ann posted a blog postDay 15 - and it's a biggie
Yesterday I helped re-unite some cousins of mine with their aunt & uncle they haven't had contact with since the early 1970s. What a feeling it was to tell my cousin I found her brother's children.See More
Ann posted a blog postBack on track
The last weekend in January - 30-31 Jan, we had horrendous weather here - we were iced in on Saturday and discouraged from going out at all. I didn't give a gift on Saturday but am back on track. I'm on Day 11 this time. Still working at - but working may not be the right word - I'm having a ball. I've got friends doing this and one of them hasn't read the book yet.
Ann posted a blog postDay 16 and loving every minute of it
Today is Day 16 - this has been easier than I thought for the most part and way more fun than I anticipated. Today I helped a friend with a recipe she needed and tonight after the laundromat I'm going to drop by a friend's house with a ream of computer paper and a print out she requested - she was out of paper so she couldn't print.
Ann commented on Ann's blog post Day 14 for me"It felt good to just admit to total strangers I have the clutter. I've got concrete goals with dates to be accomplihsed and I've told someone else what the goals are - now I have to be accountable for it - I'm actually excited about…"
Ann posted a blog postDay 14 for me
I try to journal every day and that helps me keep track of the gifts I give. However, if I don't get a chance to journal for whatever reason I could forget my 'gift'. I always carry a small noteook with me and have taken to jotting down my gifts in there if I can't get to my journal. Or you could always jot it down on your calendar or in your planner. The best gift I've given so far was to me. I joined a clutter support group. Now maybe I can get my house in order.AnnSee More
Ann left a comment for Dolfin68"Ordinarily I am not either but the first time I go to a country I like a bit of a guided tour. After that, I'd rather be on my own. I like to explore and not overly concerned if I get lost. A map will also help you meet so many people."
Ann commented on Dolfin68's blog post Solo traveler seeking ideas for April trip..."I rarely travel with someone. I've been to Ireland three times by myself and had a great time. Book a tour if you're nervous about being totally solo but if you can afford it - opt for the single lodging even though it might cost more.…"
Ann posted a blog postDAY 8
Today is day 8 for me and I'm at a loss. I've been averaging 2 gifts a day without any effort at all but I'm not sure what I'm doing today. I have a church group meeting tonight and was going to bring a cake to celebrate January birthdays but not sure if that counts. decisions, decisions.
Ann commented on Ann's blog post Day # 4 - 7 gifts"I just hope no one finds a cure! I'm having too much fun!"
Ann commented on Ann's blog post Day # 4 - 7 gifts"Oh yes it is fabulous. I'm reading the book for book club and journaling about the experience. I gave a copy of the book to a friend who couldnt' afford to buy it herself and I'm hoping she gets a lot out of it. Not sure what my gift…"
