Beth received a gift from Deb~ Community Manager
Beth replied to Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder's discussion 'Great Giveaway: 29 Gifts Starter Kit from me, Cami!'
Cami,
I just wanted to send you a message of love and support while you deal with the sadness of your divorce. Your book and website helped me so much the past year when I was going through a difficult time. I pray that you will emerge from this…
Beth commented on Barb's blog post 'Day 14 - Magazines'
What a thoughtful gift! I'm somewhat addicted to magazines and I'm always happy to find one to read at lunch in our breakroom. I need to start bringing in my magazines to work instead of recycling them. I'm going to log off and round…

Yes YOU do deserve it! I am happy you took care of you :)
Beth commented on CathInMaine's blog post 'Day 16'
I love Good Dog Carl! I hadn't thought about that book in such a long time because my boys are almost men. I was transported back to when they were little and loved hearing that book over and over. Thanks for the gift to me!
Round 2- Self give, The CHI
I just finished my self give round. It was a nice way to start the new year but at times it felt like a chore. I tend to lapse into doing things for others and it opened my eyes that I need to focus a little more on self care. I focused my gives on simple things that made time for myself but I did give in to one big give I had been resisting. My CHI straightening iron broke in early December and it's the only thing that really helps me deal with my thick, unruly, wavy hair. It is the second one…See More

I love the meditation exercise on Day 7 and it's great you're getting out to do something on your night off for yourself. Hope you enjoyed the bookc club :)
Beth commented on rsbills's blog post 'A Day for Pets'
It probably really meant a lot to him that you took the time to listen to his story. Anyone who has lost a pet knows how hard it is to lose one. Thanks for taking the time to listen and give him support.
Beth commented on Alex L's blog post 'Day 4 - A gift for my cat'
My cats love to climb on my lap when I'm at the computer. It can be annoying but usually I end up feeling more relaxed when they sit with me for a while. Petting a cat is a gift for both cat and human!
Round 2 Self give-Flowing with life, not against it
Day 7- I decided to pull out a book that I purchased a few years ago but really haven't used much for a no cost self give. It's a little book with 100 five minute activities to help you stay calm and focused. I've been struggling with my relationship with my oldest son the past six months and I'm at a loss about what to do frequently. So I finally figured out after completing a meditation exercise in this book that maybe I'm trying to do too much. The purpose of the exercise was to be open to…See More

Beth commented on Louise's blog post 'Telephone Gifting!'
I love your telephone give! I know a few people like this and I hope to twist the situation the next time I'm on the phone or confined in a car with someone like this. The other thing that comes to mind is I'm sure that I've been…
Paula Swenson commented on Beth's blog post 'Round 2 Self Give- Harder than I thought it would be'
Self gives are SO important, especially if they are difficult! As Pamela said, you need to refill the well. We are sadly taught that taking care of ourselves is 'selfish' it is not, in fact if we don't take care of ourselves we are…
Pamela Miles commented on Beth's blog post 'Round 2 Self Give- Harder than I thought it would be'
Fill up the well (so you can give to others)... sounds like you need it and sometimes it's the best we can "give"! I hope you got a massage with the manicure like they do at the nail salon I go to - that's a real luxury and one…
Round 2 Self Give- Harder than I thought it would be
I decided to do a self give round because the winter weather always gets me in a funk and I thought it would help me get through January in a better state of mind. My first gift was to buy a planner for myself. It is put out by a company in St.Louis called Daysteps and it's a combo planner, journal and health and fitness tracker. I love this gift! I'm a chronic procrastinator and so far this is really helping me stay focused. I would love to say 2010 was the year I got my act together. My 2nd…See More

Beth commented on Mailornish's blog post 'Getting - The Connection'
It's interesting that you mentioned that it's hard to receive because I find it much easier to give than to receive. I also find it much easier to give anonymously. I haven't even shared with anyone that I've read the book or…

No time to blog over the holidays! My favorite give from this cycle.
Posted on December 29, 2009 at 9:43am 3 Comments 0 Likes
Well something had to give and it ended up being the blog. I managed to keep giving and it was what kept me sane and focused over the holidays. So I'm going to highlight my favorite give which was Day 29, the final give for this cycle. Early in the cycle I came up with the idea for a holiday care package for the hernia patients I care for. We have a doctor who specializes in complicated cases and they come to see him from all over the midwest. It's a very painful surgery and patients generally… Continue
