Good Job On your first day
Today was the first day of my giving challenge. I decided to give my first gift to my mom. My idea was to give her some love and spend some time with her. We made arrangements last night to get together today.
When we spoke this morning, we decided…
What a great pict. of you and the family!
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I am choosing to give because Cami's story is inspiring to me. I think it's a great idea to spread positivity into the universe and if I can do something to add to that, then I am all for it. I have always believed that what you put out there comes back to you.
I am fortunate in that I have my basic needs met. I believe that I we can benefit from being reminded how blessed we are and how reaching out to someone, no matter how small the gift could mean the world to the receiver. So why not take a chance and try it!
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I would like to receive the benefit of knowing that I have done something that may have touched someone's life. I would like the receive the positive energy that Cami speaks of, and have it build up as I continue the challenge. I would like to feel that I have made a difference.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Saw it on the Today Show and then read the book.

Day 3, December 3rd, 2009
I stayed up late last night (after 12 am) preparing some pictures of a friends children for her Christmas card. I have had a lot to do and so it has been pushed off for too long. I figured, I could get the pictures touched up and make a mock card so she could place her order. She has been anxious to get her cards out and was almost going to take some pictures herself. I really wanted her to use the pictures I took because they came out so beautiful! I was able to complete this task and made it t… Continue

Day 2, December 2nd, 2009
Well today was quite busy for me, tying up loose ends for the year. My husband has been after me lately to get some paperwork things accomplished. I have been putting it off and putting it off.....and putting it off some more. It had actually gotten to the point where it would sit in the back of my mind and make me feel anxious. So today, I decided I would attack the list and get some of the things done. I worked for a while on everything. As I worked and was able to cross things off the list, I… Continue

Day 1, December 1st, 2009
Today was the first day of my giving challenge. I decided to give my first gift to my mom. My idea was to give her some love and spend some time with her. We made arrangements last night to get together today.
When we spoke this morning, we decided to get together after my son's nap. That left me a couple hours to get some things done around the house. I found myself feeling really tired. I didn't really get a lot of sleep last night and the sleep I did get was restless!
So my first gift was a… Continue

Elly Rose said… - Thanks for the compliment on my name. I actually changed it for my 50th birthday. It is a long story, but I did blog on it here
I took the pictures of the blue indigo on the steps, but the picture of the bird in the tree is from a picture I found online. My husband took the sunset pictures.

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by her strength of character and spirit. In the mid-90s, she was diagnosed with MS and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been inspirational - she is thriving through giving and is hosting a Christmas Give: "Going small to make a big impact". Lubabat is our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
