Although I have not posted lately the challenge has not left my heart or mind..... I do still strive to continue with small gifts of giving and random acts of kindness to brighten someone else's day. Continuing to spend a few hours every other week donating much needed platelets is just part of the family routine now. We have received more joy from this act of giving than we actually give. 2 or more hours hooked up to a machine with my daughters next to me has allowed us to develop new…See More

sometimes the Universe conspires to remind us just how blessed we really are. i am so glad you were able to truly be there for your friend when she needed you. it sounds like it was a good thing for both of you. that reminds me, i have a friend from…
Day 2..Giving reminds us of what we really have..
After a day of struggling with pain, frustrations and kind of wishing my life would get better...ouch..honest much....yes maybe just a little self pitty there..and definitely not thinking about giving of any kind it happened all by itself... The phone call from a long time friend..The kind of friend who you speak to only a few times a year, 1500 miles apart and have seen once in 19 years but friends for 32 years. She needed someone to listen, someone to talk to, one who would understand the…See More

Welcome April. May your days be filled with sunshine and rainbows as you begin this new and fulfilling journey. Happy Giving:)
Day One: Receiving turns into giving...
While waiting for my friend/massage therapist to finish up with a client before we were to go to lunch I picked up a magazine and browsed through the pages.. There I read Cami's story...Personally relating to it was easy under my circumstances yet I didn't think about it again until later. At lunch thinking I was on the receiving end since she treated to lunch and I was truly grateful. Spending time with her was always a blessing in my life. Today as we spoke it became apparent it was my friend…See More

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- To bring small blesings into the lives of others. In our family we have always giving "love gifts"...small or large gifts to each other...something to brighten up ones day, tell them you were thinking about them, to show encouragement and understanding or to say thank you, I love you or just to say have a great day.. Gifts were anything from a token gifts which reminded us of that person to something special we knew they needed or wanted or a random act of kindness towards someone... Here I see the opportunity for it to become a part of my daily life..
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Love, friendships, good health. I dream of one day having a place I can call home and a car, Live where I feel safe and secure, a place where I can bake & cook, start new hobbies and begin a new life. Your prayers as I accept the new challegens I now face...
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- magazine
- About me:
- Live in Florida for the past 19 years. I am blessed with 3 beautiful daughters who have supported me during the past several years as my life has changed due to a accident... They say a person is one illness, or a few paychecks away from disaster and that was proven to be true in my case. Life changing injury caused the loss of all financial and most material possessions..Although I had always been grateful for the small things and the people in my life it was these circumstances that put it fully in perspective for me. In the past giving and sharing was part f my daily life and I wish to recreate that part of it as I continue on my new journey...
