Becky gave a gift to Cyndi Stewart
Becky commented on Wendy Jo's blog post 'Day 21 - Kitty cat'
That is one lucky cat to have found someone who is as caring as you are. I bet he'll be back to his new "safe haven". Even if he will not be your forever friend, at least now, when he needs it the most, he has you for protection and…

Days 7 & 8
On Day 7 I my give was to myself. I bought a yoga mat and DVD (a splurge for me right now). On Day 8 I shoveled my next door neighbor's sidewalk. He's 's quite capable of shoveling himself but thought he might have gone skiing, and thought he might appreciate a clean sidewalk when he got home.

Day 5 - Gift of Time
Today seemed like the gift of time. Spent time with a friend today just listening to her about issues in her life that she's experiencing now. Also spent time with an older adult woman who needed help figuring out her medical bills. Made phone calls with her and found out that her bills were all covered by insurance plans. (As an aside: She's the woman I want to be when I grow up - she's nearly ninety, dressed to the nines, makeup done perfectly and quite spry. I have known adults who are young…See More

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- When I was a kid, my sister and I lived with our aunt and uncle after our mother died. I remember being so grateful for my aunt, that I went to a local store and spent a very long time picking out just the right "something special" to buy to say thank-you to her. The feeling of that day has remained with me for 48 years. Somehow, during the years after that day, I got jadded by life, am afraid to spend money and don't give very freely. I want to recaputre that feeling of joy in the giving and I'd like to experience it every day.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- As bad a "giver" as I've been, I'm also a lousy receiver. Starting today, and with a grateful heart, I am totally open to receiving all that the Universe has to give to me.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Reading 29 Gifts after seeing Cami on The Today Show.
- About me:
- I am blessed to have a loving and giving partner, two wonderful adult and independent children, the best sister any girl could ask for and two of the world's cutest dogs who entertain us daily. I've worked in the healthcare field for over 30 years. I enjoy biking, weekly exercise classes and reading.

Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador said… - Welcome to 29 Gifts! I'm so glad you decided to join us.
Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.
Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.
The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.
Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.
